Further afield there are the caves of Drach just outside Porto Christo which are well worth a visit. You walk underground into the caverns and hear a clasical music concert then travel out on the underground lake. Need to take an organised tour for this.
If you are a shopoholic then Porto Pi is a 5 minute walk from Palma port (to the left as you leave the main gates). It has some lovely shops, a wonderful cheese tasting shop/cafe and a supermarket which sells extremely well priced goods of all types.
Ibiza (Ibiza town port?) - nice to walk around the front or go see the castle onthe hill.
Malaga - the town is nice enough but nothing to get excited about. The usual pavement cafes and shops. The catherdral is worth a visit. You can go further afield to Granada which is a good way tospend the day.
Canary Islands - Tnerrife and Grand Canaria are much the same for amenities. Lanzarote has some wonderful volcanic sites which you should try to visit. La Palma, the smallest island has the biggest crater on the planet (really)and very little else! The people on La Palma are very friendly, you will probably get a flower from the tourist board when you dock.
Madera - is wonderful, the whole island is full of flowers.The flower market itself if worth a visit. You sould also try the drink which comes in different grades and types. Then there is the ubiquitous sledge ride(wear something padded as it is rough)
Sorry I havn't been to the other ports you mention.
