Why do fish gasp for breath in Palma Cathedral? Why is there a house hanging over the cliffs? And why is there a theatre deep underground? Did you know that you are very close to heaven in Santanyí, that you can meet very strong Mallorcan women in Artà and that you can finally find the fountain of health in Campanet? Would you like to be a guest of the Archduke, chug through the jungle landscape by tram, or visit a church thats upside down?





This book guides even Mallorca connoisseurs to places that will amaze them. And it tells stories that hardly anyone has ever heard. You think you already know everything and then this picturesque island, and then you find its full of big and small surprises 111 times!
