Although Mallorca is not too large, only 2 hours distance from east coast to west coast, but Mallorca offers many places to enjoy. Starting from Arab Alfabia Park in Soller, just a walk in Palma, enjoying the beauty of the bay in Alcudia, or through small villages and drinking coffee, and so on.
Mallorca, the island located in the Mediterranean Sea is one of the islands belong to Spain but Menorca, Ibiza and Formentera. After flying for one hour and 45 minutes from Munich, we landed at Playa de Palma airport. At first I thought it would look like in the Bali airport, but it wuiih …. Mallorca Airport including luxury and dense enough according to the size of an island.
Mallorca has a population of around one million people and tourists visited an average of 8 million people per year. No wonder all the facilities at a high enough standard Mallorca, adjusted for tourists who mostly dating mainly from Germany. For the Germans, Mallorca is a ‘summer terrace’.
From the airport we drove to Cala Ratjada is located on the east coast Mallorca. Trips taken about 90 minutes via the highway. After check in at the hotel, we start down Cala Ratjada. Cala Ratjada was once a small fishing village, which since the 70s muiai built for turismus purposes. Own rocky beach and if we want to enjoy sunbathing on the sand, we had to walk about 10 minutes to Agulla or Sol Cala Mol. Cala Ratjada, however well known to those who love diving.
The streets in Cala Ratjada filled the small shops that sell a variety of equipment pool, beach clothes, toys and restaurants. Frankly I could Mallorca disappointed to find very, very German! Hahaha … Almost everyone in the tourist areas speak German. I even had time to try to speak in English and still be answered with German language! Useless dong before leaving us behind memorize standard sentences in Spanish.
Since we brought our new son almost 9 months old so we decided to not go too far. Following objectives: Capdepera, which can be achieved by using public buses. In ancient times the port city of Capdepera that is relating to Menorca. Capdepera us in taking the time to see Castell de Capdepera, a ruined castle that is not too large, but comfortable for enjoying. Admission is not expensive, only 1 Euro per person.
In this Capdepera we also saw a bunch of kids in traditional dress Mallorca Mallorquinish the dancing and singing in the middle of the field. Nothing like this was exactly what we wanted to see and uh, also granted hehehe …
Other cities we had visited was the church Sankt Arta and Eglesiasnya Salvador, and also Ermita de Betlem, a remote spot near the beach is used by the missionary to retreat. If you like to visit the stalactite caves, coves de Drach (Dragon Caves), located in Porto Cristo is very worthy to be visited. This cave is filled with light-colored lights (duh, really reminds me of the caves in Halong Bay yah?) And is very well groomed.
Mallorca Frankly is not cheap if you take the complete package of travel agents. But do not despair! Because Mallorca have lot of cheap hostels and apartments. Flights can use a lot of airline offering cheap tickets from mainland Europe. To down Mallorca, you can easily take a bus (full schedule, just on time and not crowded) or rent a car (price competition).
