Puerto de Soller
by ncfg
Puerto de Soller is a port with a little fishing harbour.
I could appreciate pretty yachts and sailing boats but ... unfortunately none of them is mine. :-(
I am sure that they were from famous and rich people because Mallorca is vacation’s island for those people, including the Spanish Royal Family.
Genuine Irish Pub in Palma de Mallorca
by starship about MacGowan's Irish Pub
When my husband and son felt they had had enough sightseeing for one day, they somehow found this genuine Irish pub MacGowan's on a little side street not far from Almudaina Palace and Le Seu Cathedra. The cozy, dark interior held only a few tables and an L-shaped bar. A soccer game was on the TV behind the bar, and there were newspapers spread about the place. It obviously was a locals' (and perhaps ex-patriates) bar and some customer voices definitely carried an Irish brogue. MacGowan's had its own aroma of beer and cigarette smoke.
On this lazy Sunday afternoon, my husband and son were very obviously the only tourists at the bar. The US ship and squadron insignia stickers dotting the area behind the bar were somehow reassuring. It reminded my husband of flying into Palma many years ago.
We didn't find the customers or the bar attendant extremely talkative (this really is a neighborhood bar), and since soccer is not my husband's sport of choice, our stay at MacGowan's was briefer than it could have been.
Open: 9:00 am til late!! "Food served all day 365 days a year." Rather than order a Guinness, my husband tried a Stella Artois, the pale Belgian lager which he seems to like more than the heavy red lagers. Prices ran from about 2,5 to 3,5 Euros for a half to a full pint.
I'm sure bar snacks were available, but on this hot & humid day, the ice cold beer was a treat in itself.

We went to (kinda) see the cathedral... well, it was closed. So that was about all the sightseeing we managed to do. (out of palma, my favourite place was Porto Pi, the shopping centre) We went to walk in the city of Palma and it seemed like a quiet town... comparing to the crowds in Palma Nova. So the city of Palma didn't really open up to me.
Train to Soller
by bonio
A great day out from Palma is a trip to Soller. Trains ( built in 1912) leave several times a day for the one hour journey through the mountains into the pretty town of Soller. From there it is easy to catch a tram to Porto Soller. (will put a few more photos on a traveogue later) Great views of the countryside on the way and a photo stop high over Soller too. Memorable day out.
To save a little money only travel by train one way, buses leave Porto Soller for Palma regularly throughout the day and the cost is much less.
