One of the worst dining experience I had…read more The seafood dish was undercooked. The steak-order was mixed up in one hand, but more importantly, both of them were bloody and unfit for human consumption. I wonder if this place heard about warranty of habitability. When I complained, I was met with uttermost rudeness from the waiters. Furthermore, when I asked for the manager, the waiter introduced himself as the manager, even though this was an obvious lie. Ps. The cockroach in the middle of the restaurant is just the icing on the cake. And no, the waiter trying to hide the insect from the guests is not the most efficient solution for the image of sanitary dining.. Unacceptable dining experience Bad food Unfriendly staff 0/5

Stay more than 15 minutes and you'll be in love…read more From the road it looks like a small garden, vaguely going downhill, something possibly converted from an old house nobody could afford any more - and there are no glasshouses. Something happens as you start walking about, getting lost in the nonchalant paths that are at the same time deep labyrinths and simply logical: there is an inherent charm to these gardens that makes you want to stay and take your time. If you're used to botanic gardens, you'll find plants sorted according to the 'normal' categories: wet, dry, sunny, exotic, etc. Yet for once the distinction between each of them is done so sweetly that the garden moves away from being a simple catalog, to becoming a place where you're simply enjoying yourself. Other visitors seem to be on the same wavelength and everybody moves about as if in a dream. How long will it take you to realise that it's the same water trickling down from the top terrace to the one at the bottom? If it's springtime, how long can you resist before you stick your nose into one of those orange trees in full blossom? How guilty will you feel when you snatch that plump, ripe mandarin from that tree when nobody is watching, and want to cry when you compare with what you've been eating so far? The garden may be small, and far away, but spend an hour there and it feels like you've spent a week-end at someone's place who is going to be your friend forever. It's quite easy to find, specially if you took the old wooden train from Palma: right out of the station as you head towards the city square, turn left into the first street marked with a one-way sign, going against the traffic (Carrer d'Isabel II). Walk for five minutes until you get to the church then turn right into Cami de son Pons - a small street that soon joins up with a bigger road. Keep walking for three minutes and you'll find the garden on the right handside.

Es Baluard is the former armory that has since been converted to Palma's contemporary art museum. I…read morestopped by in the evening and had a lovely time exploring the building and enjoying the artworks. On this particular evening, admission was "you decide" which I thought was a nice concept and I put several Euros into the collection box. The museum was established in 2003 and the permanent collection is based on 400 works that were ceded by the chairman of the foundation. There are also a number of temporary exhibits that tour. The building itself is a former 17th century military fortress and is part of the remaining old city walls that once surrounded all of Palma. It's a very interesting building in the way it incorporates the walls and at the same time allows patrons to take ramps up and down including to the roof level. Lots of Joan Miró but also Léger, Dali and a Mapplethorpe. A unique audio exhibit in the elevator, which is recorded sound. Of the elevator! In many cases, "contemporary art" goes right over my head. Not so much today at Es Baluard. Well worth your time to soak up some culture.

Amazing spot! It's a stone/pebble beach which takes a bit of patience to get to. But once you do…read moreit's so worth it. The drive is amazing, but for the insecure driver it could be scary. Once you arrive there it's a paid parking with a lot of spaces, and to get to the biggest beach, torrent service Paris is a shorter walk through another beach, restaurants and through some cliffs (so cool!). The view is amazing, great snorkeling. You can cliff jump up to 9m if you can climb a bit. It's adventurous, beautiful and a picture perfect place for the adventurous. Not great if you just want to lay down tanning for a day. You need to swim here. The beach is very small and crowded, but there is a lot of space in the area close to the water.

Interesting to see where Joan Miró lived and worked…read more The Fundació Miro Mallorca's collection is comprised of thousands of works by Joan Miró. Interesting to see paintings on canvas, sculptures, drawings, notes and sketchbooks. The weavings were an unexpected surprise. It was amazing to see the wealth of techniques, materials and procedures that Miró used in his creative process. Unfortunately, much of the gallery and the studios were closed due to renovations. Nice bookstore though. Able to pick up an illustrated book and some beautiful prints for a family member. The walk in the garden was also pleasant to see more sculptures. The museum is free on Saturdays from 3-6 and on the first Sunday of the month from 10-3. Admission is 9 Euros for adults and 5.5 Euros for seniors. We walked from the Hop-On, Hop-Off bus line. Nice museum in Palma.

The trip to the museum was part of a group tour. They opened the museum just for us but…read moreunfortunately, we were running so far behind we really didn't get a chance to enjoy all the museum had to offer. The docents were well versed and passionate about sharing stories of Miro's life and process. The last stop of the tour was a lovely cafe where we had snack cakes, the traditional Mallorcan pizza which is all veggies and no cheese. They also served a selection of fruit juices and lemonade. A nice visit that was way too short. If you are familiar with Miró, it's worth the trip. If not, it's interesting to get to know his work.
