Neer the Cathedral with my best friend.
PLEASE HELP!
Dear friends,
I have a friend who is now in Palma de Mallorca. He was invited by his ex-boss to help him running a business there. He had been granted a 3-month tourist visa from Embassy of the Germany in Indonesia. After two months, there's no indication of getting a real job in that busniess and he is now running out of money. He is forced to work at other place to survive living in Mallorca and save money for going back home. What would happen if he stayed there for six months and then fly out of the country? Will he be arrested or pay penalty for overstaying? Please HELP!
Thank you very much for your kind attention!
Regards,
AV
The fact that he is working on a tourist visa, he is already in trouble if he is caught.
He could be arrested, he could be fined, he could be repatriated, he could be refused future entry to Spain (and other Schengen countries in future), or any combination of these. This can also occur if he is working illegally (as he seems to be).
Your friend should contact his own embassy in Spain as a matter of urgency to get their advice and assistance about how to find the funds for a return flight.
as others said, you friend is ALREADY in an illegal situation, as he's working with a tourist visa
He definitely is not the only one on this situation, and in the best scenario, nothing will happen to him (if he's not caught)
However, if he's stopped in a random police control, get in trouble for any reason, has an accident... he may face the consequences: the milder being forced to leave the country immediately (at his own expenses, so a probably in a very expensive flight) and with a nasty stamp on his passport preventing him to re-enter the Schengen area for years
Workers in illegal situation are always exposed to exploitation, and in case his current 'boss', or someone else for any reason reports him to the police he will be in great trouble.
As said above, he should better contact his embassy/consulate ASAP
Best of luck!
Just take time to wander through the streets and see what you can find. I just thought everything was so picturesque, I wanted to take a photo of everything! Me and my Mum sat at one of the cafes by the harbour and wrote postcards while we had a drink....it was so relaxing, and the waiters didn't try to hurry us out of the cafe just because we'd finished our drinks.
Go to Sa Colabra in the mountains and although you drive for miles around bends on narrow roads it's worth it when you get to the beach of Cala Tuent. Pebbly but definitely quiet and off the beaten track. The man made cleft in the rock is the coolest to drive through and the scenery spectacular.
I like it becouse of atmosphere. Friendly waiters smiling and talking with you.
It makes you feel someone special.
Restaurant alive when there are many people, talking and smilin, when you coming there you can feel it. pica pica this is the only dish with seafood that i can eat, and i love it.
and of course olives for the entrance - delicious
As the legend goes, a storm arose as Jaume I was sailing towards Mallorca. He vowed that if he landed safely he would build a great church in honor of the Virgin. And after the storm had blown over, finding himself safe and sound, the king immediately undertook the project. On New Year's Day 1230, a day after the fall of Palma, the foundation stone was symbolically laid on the site of the city's main mosque. Construction begun in 1230, the cathedral was finished in 1601, and had to resume in 1851 when an earthquake destroyed the west front. More touches were added in the beginning of the 20th century by Antoni Gaudi , famous Catalan architect. Made from golden limestone and designed in the French Gothic style, the cathedral is one of the biggest in the world - 121 meter long and 55 meter wide. The bell tower, still unfinished today, is 52 meter high. The port-side facade features marvelous door, a true masterpiece of Spanish Gothic, called the "Mirador portal", or "Puerta del Mar".
In order to visit the cathedral, you enter through a side door, and come into the former Treasury, today a 2 - rooms church museum with wonderful silverworks. Large baroque candelabras made of silver and weighing 250 kilo each are really impressive. From here visitors head for the west portal and gaze down the long nave.
Light pours in through the rose window, one of the world's largest, 12m across and studded with 1,236 pieces of stained glass. The vast interior is striking for its harmonious proportions.
The columns are ringed with wrought-iron candelabra by Gaudi; his most controversial addition is the unfinished Crown of Thorns, fashioned from cardboard and cork and suspended above the altar. Behind it, we see 110 walnut choir-stalls sculpted in flaming Gothic style.
This you can find if you walk up the steps from the boulevard to Paseo Borne. Thus keeping the Cathedral on your right hand side.. I've always admired them when i walked passed them. Not sure why but somehow i had the feeling they were protecting the stairs. Strange i know but still
