The engine coughs, then the bow lifts and the Mediterranean throws sunlight across the wake as you pull away from Can Pastilla’s low promenade. Salt air cuts clean; the city of Palma slides sternward while the cathedral’s gothic silhouette grows larger against the rigged horizon. Wind tugs at hair and towels; the sea dares you to look away.
