Palma, Mallorca 🇪🇸 Palma Ancient City Eat and Drink in One Day 🏖
🏰 Palma: A Charming Finale to Our Mallorca Trip The last stop of our journey? Palma’s downtown—and what a gem it was. The old town is small enough to explore in 3-4 hours, with postcard-perfect streets that beg you to slow down. Plus, it’s packed with great eats and even bubble tea shops—total win 🥳. 🧳 First Things First: Luggage Storage No need to bags around! Search “Mallorca Lockers” on Google Maps—24/7 self-service storage, just a 3-minute walk from the airport bus stop. Super convenient, and it let us roam free all day ✨. 🌿 Strolling the Streets With luggage stowed, we headed straight for Catedral de Mallorca ⛪️. The walk there is half the fun: we passed Passeig del Born (a bustling avenue with chic shops) and Plaça Major (a lively square perfect for people-watching). The architecture? So photogenic—pastel buildings, iron balconies, and that laid-back Spanish vibe that makes every corner feel special 😍. Sadly, the cathedral was closed when we visited (Sundays—pro tip: check hours!), but the nearby Parc de la Mar made up for it. Snap a pic from across the lake—flowers, fountains, and the cathedral spires in the background? Chef’s kiss 📸. 🍦 Foodie Finds Galore Palma’s a snacker’s paradise—here’s what we loved: Gelateria Carte D'Or Es Trasto: Friendly staff let us sample flavors, and the strawberry gelato 🍓 was perfection—creamy, fruity, no artificial aftertaste. The melon? Decent, but stick to the strawberry. Tastea : Bubble tea in Mallorca? Yes, please! Their coconut-mango drink 🧋 was fresh and refreshing—tasted like a tropical hug. Snow Island: After walking in the sun, their soy milk shaved ice 🍧 hit the spot. Light, sweet, and nostalgic—felt like a little piece of home. MAMAS PEPPER (in the square): Known for pizza, but we went rogue and ordered pasta 🍝—surprisingly good! Their virgin mojito? Crisp, minty, and ideal for cooling down. At €20 per person, it’s a budget-friendly pick. ✈️ Off to the Airport Getting to the airport is easy: take the A1 bus. You can pay with cash, but if you’re short, there’s a card machine nearby to buy tickets. Smooth sailing all the way 🚌. #MallorcaMagic #PalmaVibes #TravelTips #MallorcaEats #SpanishGetaway #CityWalks #BubbleTeaLovers
