Mallorca 2024 - Part 5

Palma De Mallorca

Wednesday - September 18th 2024

After breakfast we hit the road and drove to Palma de Mallorca, the capital city of Mallorca. Right next to the cathedral we parked our car in an underground garage and started our sightseeing tour with exploring the beautiful Cathedral of Santa Maria of Palma. The church was really stunning, especially its interior with the huge rose window. Then we just strolled around the narrow streets until we found a Starbucks, where we enjoyed an iced coffee while watching all the people passing by. Once we finished our coffees we continued our walking tour through Palma and checked out some stores as well. The inner city of Palma was very picturesque with all its beautiful old buildings and narrow streets.

Later we found a lovely shop that was selling local products, like garlic, chilis, olive oil or cheese. Additionally that store was also a small bar that offered drinks and snacks. Luckily we got a table right away and ordered some drinks and a snack, which was very traditional for the island. Afterwards we went to El Corte Ingles, a huge department store that can be found all over Spain. Along the way we passed many more beautiful buildings and town squares with lovely outdoor cafes.

Since it was already early afternoon, we got hungry and decided it was time for lunch at the Hard Rock Cafe. We got a table on the terrace and ordered nachos to share. Once we finished our lunch we walked back to our car, because we planned to check out a nearby shopping mal. Claudia and I were on a quest to find a certain Starbucks mug we didn't get in the morning at the first Starbucks coffee house. Unfortunately they were out of stock at the second Starbucks as well and so we drove to the next mall. There we were also unlucky, that's why we decided to check out the last Starbucks location we were still missing and drove to the Palma Outlet Shopping Mall. Of course there the mug wasn't available either, but at least Claudia could shop some clothes. Back at the hotel we had dinner and then we headed into Cala D'Or and enjoyed a couple of sangrias at our favourite bar.
