Hotel Cala Vias Cala Vinas

... 15 minutes away. Taxis were expensive so we opted for the $2 city bus that was convenient and went well. Not much to do there but they have an impressive cathedral and attached museum &#8211; the cathedral took over 300 years to complete so compared to that, Sagrada Familia isn't doing too badly.<br><br>After walking around the town a little &#8211; we passed on the Mallorcan royal palace, preferring instead to have a ...

And at long last we are on our way ... can't quite believe we are actually starting this journey after all the work, planning, talking .... And we know we've been to San Telmo many times before but this time it is different!! And so good to have Simon's old friends Max &amp; Linsey onboard - after all they were really the people responsible for him ending up in Port d'Andratx to begin with.

... everyone who&#8217;s coming aboard. So, whoever was on duty had raised the passarelle and had now gone inside. There are other boats around so I can&#8217;t just yell out until I get someone&#8217;s attention so I was stuck. I could either find a phone and call, return to the club, or just wait. There was a bench nearby so I sat down and just waited for about 20 minutes until I heard someone. I yelled out the names of a few people that I thought may be on ...

We arrived in Cala de Calobra around 5:30. We anchored in the small bay and took a tender to shore. The little village has a small pier along one side of a steep hill and the village is crowded on the hillside raising between two much larger and steeper hills. The whole thing looks like some Hollywood set because of its idyllic setting on the small bay. There are several bars and restaurants where we got drinks and ate an early dinner.

... cute to see. She was flirting back and he was laying on all the charm. I was cute to watch and what made it even cuter was they were nude the entire time. I think they might have gone up to the dunes to get some alone time since the disappeared for awhile. <br><br>Around 3 PM walked up off the beach to a clearing where the heli was waiting for us. It didn&#8217;t take long until we arrived at Porto Cristo.

I take a bus to the other side of Palma where there are some small, pretty beaches. Finding them is a little tricky but they are pretty, for city beaches and have a much more Spanish orientation. Some really nice beaches are supposed to be available but I lack the time to work them in (it is large island with slow transit). <br><br>My roommate and I go out for the night in Palm central. We walk around and find a little place on a side street ...

... afternoon at the beach back in Playa de Palma. It is so nice to have warm weather with sun. Quite a contrast from Scandinavia. This is an area full of German tourists. Mostly Spring break atmosphere. Apparently it is dominated by package deals. I have seen very few other nationalities here. As an indication, at the airport, Air Berlin dominated the airlines (even though this is Spain it is not Iberia or SpanAir).

... has 4 beds). He is from Madrid but speaks English well. A good chance for me to work on my Spanish. He is 24, in Mallorca for a week to get away from it all. A very nice guy. He had met a woman from Slovakia which keeps him busy during much of my stay. <br><br>Dialects of Spanish make it much harder for a novice. I learned Playa for beach in Spanish while in Mallorca it is Platja. Even names of places Mallorca vs Majorca, Ibiza vs Eivissa. This part of Spain speaks Catalan, a ...

... Verkäuferin mein Englisch nicht, mein Deutsch aber sofort. Liegt das jetzt an meiner schlechten englischen Aussprache oder doch daran, dass Mallorca sich mehr und mehr zum 17. deutschen Bundesland entwickelt?<br><br>Wenn man's nicht besser wüsste, könnte man Mallorca doch fast für eine ruhige spanische Insel halten. Palmen, Strand und schöne Uferpromenaden laden zum entspannten Spazieren gehen ein. Außer dem ...

i visit spain so often but I had my first trip there at the tender age of about 8 months! haha! <br><br>needless to say I can't remember that particular trip but the subsequent ones really hit the spot with me! <br><br>I love Majorca because it has something for everybody. Mad nightlife, beautiful beaches and scenery, lovely people and not as "high rise" as main land Spain.<br><br>
