This cave is about 40 minutes drive from our hotel at Eurostar Marivent. The roads coming here are…read morenarrow so drive carefully. Upon arrival there is a lot for cars to park and two entrances on the right and left. Take the right stones stairs to the small souvenir shop where you purchase your tickets for the tour. They only accept cash or debit card. They also have a restaurant/cafe that serve drinks and small bites if you're waiting for a bit before your tour with over 13 kitties that live onsite for you to play with! They are extremely friendly and allows you to pet them. They also had restrooms at the top to the right of the staircase. The cave tour itself was very interesting and has so much history. The tour isn't as formal as others I've been on, but our tour guide's family has owned it for so long that she knew all the details. She toured a group of us in English and answered all questions thrown at her. It is slippery inside so wear proper shoes. Also, wear a hood or something to cover your head if you need because water will drip on you throughout the tour. Definitely worth visiting the caves in Mallorca and learning about the history of it all.

The actual Cap de Formentor when you get there is breathtakingly beautiful…read more The drive there is a whole other story. Suffice it to say, I'm glad I experienced the Cap de Formentor but I will never drive myself back there. You need to be a pretty competent driver but it's more than just your own skills. Watch out for reckless drivers, people who will try to zoom or squeeze by you even when there is millimeters of room. To get to the Cap, you need to drive up these tiny switchback roads that zig and zag endlessly. Sure you can go slow but then you've got a whole trail of blokes up your rear. The roads just immediately fall off too and there's little protection that keeps you from your demise should you slide off the cliff. All of that culminates in parking at the Cap which is the most congested area of them all. Good luck finding a spot or even moving to a spot. It is only enough space for one way traffic so it's a game of shuffling a dozen cars to get anywhere at all. All of that headache should have no bearing on the majestic beauty you get when you reach the Cap. It washes away all that stressful driving when you can see 360 degrees of blue ocean. With the vantage point up that high it is just so picturesque. It's also windy! Be prepared for all of that. The lighthouse at the top is okay. I think you can get a quick picture and be done with that. But bring your A+ instagram game because the photos will be the envy of many. That is a comforting thought I suppose when you make the trek back down and have to fend for your life on the winding roads again. Yelp 100 Challenge 2018 117/100 !

Three days in Palma is not nearly enough. And I didn't even leave the city limits to explore…read moreMallorca! If you're going to spend your time in Palma, you can do well by foot or even by bicycle with plenty of restaurants, tapas bars, museums and sights. Great food with a big Catalan influence. As for the city itself, it is clean and seems well operated. I noticed a reasonable police presence in the more popular sites though a few more planters along Passeig de Born would be a good investment. Great food, great culture, nicely organized, a few buses and a lot of taxis with an airport that has flights to lots of European cities. Five stars for Palma.
