The Seo, Cathedral of Palma. W if Z 'Q by ,M If-.tx xx Days before our arrival in Palma we had determined who would rate the first liberty. Next to Villefranche four home while in the Medl Palma is far and away the SALEM's top liberty town. In a way it's difficult to explain the popularity of the city. By actual fact, it has fewer attractions than many of our other ports of call. But cer- tainly one appeal of the town is its reasonable price list on souvenir items. All lace, embroidered goods, clothing, and leather products were excellent buys and nearly everyone tried a glass of champagne at seventy-five cents per bottle. On the other hand those who found themselves ashore after dark dis- covered that prices in many of the night spots around town were more nearly at a state-side level. Floorshows were outstanding, though, particularly those featuring authentic Spanish dancers, and few begrudged the cost. High spot of our stay there was a bullfight, staged at the local arena as a courtesy to the visiting Americans. Other attractions of the town included the Cathedral of Palma and the Mediterraneo Hotel. The cathedral, an outstand- ing example of Gothic architecture, houses thorns, reputedly true relics from Christ's crown of thorns. The hotel, a favorite with the tourists, was visited by many to try its famous chateau briand with all the trimmings . . . at the outrageous price of a dollar and a half.
