Mallorca Majorca!
A week in Mallorca? Why not?!
Chose to stay in Puerto de Soller, rather than in Palma de Mallorca. It's a half hour drive, through 2 tunnels. Not too shabby.
Thus far, when it rains, it is only at night or in the morning. If clouds come, they don't stay for long. It is incredibly hot in the early afternoon, so we totally understand the need for a 3 hour siesta, and we take one too.
Surprisingly, Mallorca is FULL of Germans. Most shop keepers speak German over English, because this place is swimming with Germans.
We took a paddle boat with a slide in the saltiest water I've ever been in. But I mean, paddle boat with slide?! Heck yes.
First, Mallorca is beautiful. Second, I am surrounded by mountains that are great for hiking, beaches great for swimming, and cute little towns that are great for exploring. There are olive groves, orange groves, beautiful views, old school trains, and a tonne of hiking trails. Also, as you fly over Mallorca, you can see a whole bunch of agriculture fields; jury's still out as to whether or not it's mostly orange and olives or other stuff, too.
The food is rad, as soon as you're off the main strip. Check out Teatro Latino, if you're in town. Also, everyone is super friendly. They're great!
When I say amazing hiking, I really mean it. We wandered past an abandoned hotel, met up with some livestock (sheep, donkey, horse) in an olive grove, and caught some lovely views of the port. And when I say lovely, I mean, check out this port!
