Pollensa

This arty medieval town rocks in the sightseeing and olde-worlde department. Beneath the Tramontana mountains in Majorca's north-eastern corner, it's pretty as a picture with its traditional stone and whitewashed houses, Gothic churches and sun-baked old monuments. The epicentre of Pollensa holidays is the café-lined plaza, the perfect venue for morning coffee. Scratch the surface of Pollensa's chic atmosphere by touring its smart galleries – they're a clue to its roots as an artists' hangout. Climb the 300-plus steps to the chapel. Or wander the knotted streets, ducking into inviting restaurants and admiring the town's Roman bridge.
