Useless knowledge

• The view from the castle is superb, but the stairs? Every step feels like a personal challenge. You want a „lovely view,“ but your thigh says, „No, thank you.“
• In Palma, pigeons pose better than Instagram influencers.
• Shopping bags are the new designer handbag! If you don't have one, you're considered a „tourist“.
• The La Seu Cathedral has a rose window that, in certain lighting conditions, appears like a giant kaleidoscope.
• The infamous bucket sangría isn't Mallorcan – but it's still a cult favourite at the beach. Officially frowned upon, unofficially photographed. Taste-wise? Questionable. Content-wise? More than expected.
