A couple of weeks ago 5 lovely ladies and myself went on a trip to Mallorca, Spain. To be honest among the main priorities such as relaxing, swimming and reading was also party.
It was a miracle that we all actually got there because I got injured the night before and was about to cancel but I could persuade my dad last minute. And our car broke down on the way to the airport... great! But nonetheless we got there.
I wasn´t allowed to swim at all, therefore I was stuck in the appartement all alone.. well Harry Potter and me spend quite some time together didn´t we? But I was fine with it, it was exactly the relaxing holiday that I just needed.
Hence my arm got better by time I was able to step outside at least for a bit and saw bits and pieces of the stunning island! It was incredible hot and sticky, but it was wonderful. The weather reminded me a lot of Texas.. :) Palma itself is absolutely beautiful. The streets are full with artists who are painting or doing some handcraft, horse-drawn carriages, huge bubbles and tourists like me who are just enjoying life! :)
Palma is quite an arty city. There are little hidden shops or art gallery that you can visit for free. That mainly sums up what I´m interested in haha.
If you are a little bit nerdy like me and somewhat interested in old things, please do me a favour and visit Palma Fine Books. It´s an english bookshop in the middle of palma, close to the (massive and outragous) Cathedral (Calle Morey 7) . The shop is very unique and you probably won´t find it a second time on earth. Already at the entrance books are stapled till they drop (lets hope not). In this shop you will probably find everything you need to know about history. I am not even sure if the owner know how many books he has, but it´s sure as hell a lot! This shop is amazing ro rummage and grub around and I managed to find one of my guilty pleasures: old maps. There is something about maps. I can´t really put my finger on it but everytime I see one I instantly want to look at it and discover it. It just makes me happy to buy maps :) Therefore I bought a really old India map and now its hanging in my room in all its glory! Without further ado, just pay this old man a visit, have a chat with him, buy something or not (he won´t care) and just enjoy the vibes that are coming from this tiny little (actually huge) shop.
If you are already on Mallorca, you just have to visit the Ballermann (well at least as a German). It´s quite.. special. I can´t say I don´t like since it´s quite fun to party but I wouldn´t necessarily recommend it to families or older generations ;) It´s known as the German part of Mallorca and quite.. wild. Nonetheless as a youngster it wouldn´t be wrong to pay it a visit.
All in all I´ve got to say, I took quite a liking in Mallorca! But it´s always the same game; A place is only as good as the people you meet there. And if that is true, Mallorca is amazing.
Have a good one xx
