You step off the ship into a bright Mediterranean morning and a private coach eases away from Palma’s quay, the sea daring you to look back as the road climbs into the Serra de Tramuntana. Pine-scented terraces and limestone ridges slide past the window, then the coach pulls into Valldemossa where cobbled lanes and weathered stone houses invite a slow, deliberate walk.
