Palma cathedral from the sea
Palma cathedral from the sea In the heart of the city of Palma stands the magnificent 14th century cathedral known as La Seu and, as the most emblematic building in Mallorca's capital, it’s a must-visit. It’s impossible to miss this imposing golden sandstone building: it’s one of Europe’s tallest Gothic structures, perched above Parc de la Mar and a superb sight for those arriving by sea. The cathedral of Palma is on the site of the mosque which stood opposite the Royal Palace of La Almudaina during the Moorish occupation of Mallorca. History of the cathedral of Palma The story of La Seu began whilst Jaume I was on his voyage to the island: battling rough seas, his fleet of ships and men faced great danger, and the young king swore that he if succeeded in his mission to rid the island of the Moors, he would build a massive cathedral. It would stand as highly visible evidence of his successful mission. Enter the Cathedral and you’ll understand why many call it the ‘Cathedral of Light’. In total, there are 61 stained-glass windows in La Seu - the most spectacular being the central rose window, which harnesses the morning sun, flooding the building with beams of coloured light. The slender pillars supporting the roof are some of the slimmest load-bearing pillars in the world and the fact that the place remains standing is down to the sturdy external ornate buttresses - though the western wall of the cathedral was badly damaged during an earthquake in 1851.

SUP fishing makes fishing an easy, inexpensive, and fun experience from the moment you set foot on the shore to the second you’re ready to pack things up.
With a SUP, you can get to places a fishing boat can’t for a much smaller price. SUPs are easy to transport, and can get you to the lake, on the water, and out of it far quicker than a boat.
The struggle of waiting in a boat line will never be a concern for those who opt to use an SUP instead.
Sneaking up and finding fish is much easier with a SUP as well. Kayaks and boats block the view of the fish, and are quite noisy as well, scaring any fish they do get sight of.
SUPs give a top-down view of the lake and are far less obstructive, making it significantly easier to find fish to catch.
Because SUPs glide over the water, they cause less noise and water movement than boats and kayaks, meaning the fish you do find will be less likely to swim away as you make your approach.
Lastly, there are many fishers who find boats and kayak fishing a cramped and uncomfortable experience. With a SUP, you can sit, stand, stretch, and have plenty of space to move about without worrying about your transport floating away.
Standing up can also give you the added strength needed to reel a fish in as opposed to the sitting position of a kayak, and the deck pad of your SUP will be far more comfortable than the benches of most fishing boats.
I find that the activity on a paddle board also kept our bodies limber and free from the pain that comes from using a kayak or boat for an extended period of time.
Finally, if you’re just having bad luck or grow bored of fishing, your paddle board is structured to allow you to do a variety of other activities with little to no change with your board configuration.

La pesca con SUP hace que la pesca sea una experiencia fácil, barata y divertida desde el momento en que pones un pie en la orilla hasta el segundo en que estás listo para recoger las cosas.
Con un SUP, puedes llegar a lugares que un barco de pesca no puede por un precio mucho menor. Los SUP son fáciles de transportar y pueden llevarte al lago, al agua y a la salida mucho más rápido que un barco.
La lucha por esperar en la cola de una embarcación nunca será una preocupación para aquellos que opten por utilizar un SUP en su lugar.
También es mucho más fácil acercarse y encontrar peces con un SUP. Los kayaks y las embarcaciones bloquean la visión de los peces, y además son bastante ruidosos, lo que asusta a los peces que se ven.
Los SUP ofrecen una vista desde arriba del lago y obstruyen mucho menos, lo que facilita considerablemente la búsqueda de peces para pescar.
Como los SUP se deslizan sobre el agua, provocan menos ruido y movimiento del agua que las embarcaciones y los kayaks, lo que significa que es menos probable que los peces que encuentres se alejen mientras te acercas.
Por último, hay muchos pescadores que consideran que la pesca en embarcación o en kayak es una experiencia incómoda y estrecha. Con un SUP, puedes sentarte, ponerte de pie, estirarte y tener mucho espacio para moverte sin preocuparte de que tu transporte se vaya flotando.
Estar de pie también te puede dar la fuerza adicional necesaria para enrollar un pez a diferencia de la posición sentada de un kayak, y la almohadilla de la cubierta de tu SUP será mucho más cómoda que los bancos de la mayoría de los barcos de pesca.
Además, la actividad sobre una tabla de surf de remo mantiene nuestros cuerpos ágiles y libres del dolor que se produce al utilizar un kayak o una embarcación durante un periodo de tiempo prolongado.
Por último, si tienes mala suerte o te aburres de la pesca, tu tabla de paddle está estructurada para permitirte hacer una variedad de otras actividades con poco o ningún cambio en la configuración de tu tabla.
