Looking for must see sights and possibly a local guide to show us the top things to see for our one day visit in April. There's nothing in any of Rick's Spain books.
Thanks so much

This is a very comprehensive guide to Palma. You don't really need a guide. https://www.abc-mallorca.com/palma-de-mallorca/
With new, direct flights from NY to Mallorca more Americans are visiting Mallorca and this has caused 'concern' amongst Germans that Americans might take over from the British for 'stealing' their sunloungers as this article in Bild details: https://www.bild.de/bild-plus/reise/europa/reise-europa/trendziel-nr-1-klauen-uns-die-amis-auf-mallorca-die-liegestuehle-82527484.bild.html
Mallorca is a major holiday destination for Germans and in some resorts the lingua franca is German. The British have a reputation for hogging sunloungers and the Germans have a reputation for getting up incredibly early to place towels on the sunloungers thus 'reserving' them. It's all a bit petty but good natured stereotyping however Americans should be aware that they may be eyed with suspicion around the pools.
