Our trip to Palma de Mallorca, Spain was so wonderful! We went during June, so the weather was fairly mild. We’ll likely go back in the future and hit up Barcelona and Madrid. But, Mallorca was lovely!
One of the more surprising things we found was, because Mallorca is so close to Germany, a lot of Germans inhabited the island for their holidays. And we just so happened to go as Germany was competing in the World Cup. It was ironic that my husband spent months brushing up on his Spanish and, 90% of the time, people were speaking German!
The PROS
- It was awesome being in Europe (our first time!). The culture is so different and we loved getting to experience that.
- We ventured off the resort each day and ate local foods and visited new places. The strip we were on was really long, so we could explore as much as we wanted and never ran out of things to do!
- The sun stayed up until past 10 p.m. so we felt like we got hours added to the day.
- The views are unparalleled. Miles of blue water and expansive coasts.
The CONS
- The long travel time was tiresome. Obviously, we couldn’t avoid it and knew what we were getting in to, though.
- My husband and I didn’t look like the typical German vacationer, so we got A LOT of stares while we were there. It was odd trying to enjoy our vacation while everyone had there eyes glued to us, but we quickly got over it.
Overall, it was a great trip! We took a day cruise around the island, visited a teeny alcove pirates used to visit, spent time at the Palma Aquarium, and walked miles and miles around the island, exploring. It definitely satisfied the adventurers in us ✈️🌍
