You leave Palma before the heat of midday, the city’s angles falling away as the road climbs toward the Tramuntana foothills. Pine-scented air sharpens; the coastline opens in stages—harbors with bobbing boats, a medieval town’s stone walls, then the cliff-edge gasp at Mirador Es Colomer where the sea dares you to look down.
