The brightly painted and decorated double-decker buses I seen in the accompanying picture caught my eye here in Palma just near the Almudaina Palace and Le Seu Cathedral. I saw their counterparts in Barcelona too and I just really liked them. These eye-catching buse known here as the "Palma Citysightseeing" tour buses travel around the city stopping at about 15 of the most popular sights in the city of Palma such as La Rambla, Bellver Castle, Placa de Espanya, etc., and each stop corresponds with a regular bus stop so there is a little walking invovled probably.
One of the major advantages of these tour buses is that you can get on and off at any or all of the stops. The entire route takes about 75 minutes, but as the services runs roughly 12 hrs. a day beginning at 9:30 am during the summer months, you will have time to stop at each & every place you wish to explore, getting on and off as many times as you wish.
If we had arrived knowing more of what there was to see in Palma, the sightseeing bus would have been the most practical way to see most of it and save a lot of wear and tear on the feet. I like the feature of the second "deck" of the bus being open (at least for good weather) because of the unobstructed views,
The Palma Citysightseeing bus begins its route at the Muelle commercial area (commercial pier at the Port of Palma) where a bus arrives about every 20 minutes. I believe it is possible, however, to get on at any of the marked stops and pay for tickets. The last departure is 8:00pm during the Summer. October through April hours are 9:30am to the last departure at 7:00pm.
2007 prices: 15 Euros for adults; 7.5 Euros for children 5-15 yrs. Leave a Comment

 Valdemossa by amapola66
I have to confess, I sat on the side of the bus that was nearer to the mountain rather than the big drop he he and was a little nervous, but the views were worth it.
The bohemian town of Deia is stunning - and has always attracted a large number of artists, writers and musicians over the years. English poet Robert Graves died here in 1985 and is buried in the hillside cemetery.
The main street is lined with artists workshops and there are plenty of relaxed bars & cafes from which to just sit and sketch or do nothing in particular.
The Cove of Deia-- situated down a dusty track, between the capes of Deia & Son Beltran is the most perfect place to take a dip in the sea, where you can also have a delicious meal in the one restaurant by the water. Tales of infamous beach parties are in abundance here!
This place is one of Mallorca's treasured places & I would love to to go back and spend more time there.
The monestary at Valdemossa sits high above the sea level, with amazing views. The origins of Valldemossa are said to be from prehistoric times and Valldemosa has always been a famous and favourite spot in Mallorca - Frederic Chopin and George Sand came to live in the town, their visit apparently lasting only 98 days.
There is much to see including museums, churches, plenty of places to have a cool drink or eat a meal or you can just amble around looking at the wonderful views.
I particularly enjoyed a walk through the Monastery Gardens before heading back to the bus stop for the rather less scarey ride back to Palma.
La residencia Hotel is where I am saving to go for my next visit! Leave a Comment Directions: 10 km - Soller. 27 km from Palma - Valldemossa is reached by bus from Plz España,Palma. Bus Nort Balear leaves 13 times daily 1.80€ - To reach Deià, just stay on the bus that stops in Valldemossa. Buses also leave from the Port of Soller regularly.Website: http://www.frommers.com/destinations/valldemossaanddeia/1225010001.html Other Contact: http://www.orient-express.com/we

you'll pass by cliffs ,churches and some great wide mansions.a reall spanish atmosphere.
there's a lot of tracks to drive through long and almost empty roads.
we travelled from palma city to the Drach caves through many towns and villages, had water stop from time to time and moved on,it was a great ride .
one of the amazing places you MUST visit while travelling is the 'Cura'.it is a mountain near the center of the island (actually Cura is the name of the monastery on the mountain). It has a magnificent view: on a clear day you can see the whole island. Its height is around 550 m.
driving there might be a little dangerous so do it carefuly and in the day time .
in the picture my girlfriend with the view from the cura behind her. Leave a Comment

Making a trip jenerally along the coasts. Climbing up to the monestries located up at the mountains.
