We arrived in Palma de Mallorca on Monday night around 9pm. The flight from Málaga was short and had beautiful views of the Mediterranean. We arrived at our hotel and realized we had an even better view, the next five days were going to be wonderful.
Funny thing about our hotel, it is actually on the exact same property my dad and his family used to live on. My dad lived here as a kid and it has been really neat for me to be staying here and walking the same streets as he did.
We spent our first night walking around our neighborhood and having dinner on a small terrace. Our hotel is about 3 Km away from Palma but it is conveniently wedged between two of the most beautiful beaches I have ever seen.
We woke up the next morning completely elated. We were out of Torremolinos and in the most gorgeous place either of us had ever been to. It was going to be a great day.
We got breakfast and went down to Cala Major, one of our nearby beaches. The beach was clean and white with sand, and the water was unbelievable. Clear, warm, and shallow, it was like a big salt water pool that I never wanted to get out of.
We spent most of Tuesday at the beach and then headed into Palma via local bus. So far we have used many public transport systems and they have been cheap, fast, and totally worth using.
We shopped and walked around the city for several hours until we found two spots to have dinner. We ate our first meal in the Plaza Lonja. Unfortunately I stained my favorite shirt here but the food was good and the atmosphere was nice so all was not lost :)
We ate our second meal on the Carrer de Fábrica, a quaint little street filled with tapas bars.
Our first full day in Mallorca was a complete success. We left town for our hotel with hopes of sightseeing the next day.
