Things To Do
Palma de Mallorca

This is a great city to just walk around in and enjoy the beauty of a traditional Spanish city. Transportation: Abby and Steven will be providing transportation from the Port de Soller on Wednesday, September 27th for a fun day trip for anyone who is interested. More information to come but this will be self guided (see recommendations below) and will have a set pick up and drop off time. Recommendations: Catedral-Basílica de Santa María de Mallorca - STUNNING cathedral in the heart of Palma. Walk around and check out the Guinness House across the water for coffee/beer.

Valldemossa
Information: This is one of the most beautiful villages on the island - located in the mountains a 45 minute bus ride from Port De Soller. If you go to one town on Mallorca, make it this one! When you arrive in the town, there is a map of popular things to do and is a great place to spend a few hours in an absolutely stunning, historic place. Grab a cup of coffee in the plaza and enjoy the laid back life of Mallorca. Transportation: To get here, take the 203 bus from the Port de Soller (schedule can be found here - https://www.tib.org/en/linies-i-horaris/autobus/-/linia/203) and the trip costs about $5 per person. Here is the bus stop location in the Port (https://goo.gl/maps/TtGUeS6gNPuF33FS9). Popular hikes to do: Valldemossa to Deia - strenuous but awesome!
