Majorca (or Mallorca, depending on what language you are spelling with) is a vacation destination island in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea. Today is Sunday, so many of the local businesses are only open for a very few hours. Most of what is open are tourist related shops. However, the famous cathedral, La Seu, is open for services, 😊.
They have beautiful stained glass, gothic styling, with a Gaudi-Modernisme altar and a pipe organ that is used during services.
This afternoon we took a tour to the Caves of Drach, which translates to Cave of the Dragon. No photos allowed inside, so....
...I took a photo from a postcard, lol.
Musical concerts are held inside because of the amazing acoustics. And the musicians arrive by small boats across the lake. (If you recall the boat scene from Phantom of the Opera...yes, it was just like that).
Speaking of small boats, several flotillas of teeny-tiny my-first-sailboats have passed by the back patio today on their way out of the harbor. The instructors are in inflatable dinghys, which are huge compared to these sailboats. They all look like mother ducks followed by ducklings.
Sail boating....would love to experience. Caves are so full of natures beauty. My only experience is Carlsbad in NM.
