HI
MY HUSBAND AND I ARE ARRIVING IN PALMA ON TUESDAY MORNING AND OUR CRUISE SHIP LEAVES PALMA IN THE EVENING. WE THEREFORE HAVE ONE WHOLE DAY IN WHICK TO GET TO AND EXPLORE PALMA. WE HAVE NOT BEEN INTO PALMA SINCE OUR HONEYMOON 28 YEARS AGO SO WE ARE KEEN TO GO BACK ON THIS TRIP.
COULD YOU ADVISE HOW TO GET INTO THE CITY FROM THE CRUISE SHIP PORT PLEASE? I BELIEVE OUR SHIPS WILL BE IN DOCK QUITE A WAY BACK AND SO THEY USUALLY CHARGE JUST TO GET YOU OFF THE PORT (CHEEKY). WOULD IT JUST BE BEST TO GET A TAXI FROM THE END OF THE PORT OR ARE THERE BUSES AVAILABLE DO YOU KNOW? ANY INFO WOULD BE WELCOME. THANKS A LOT FOR YOUR ATTENTION.
ALSO ANY PLACES AROUND THE TOWN WE SHOULD MAKE TIME TO SEE? THANKS AGAIN!

Can anyone give me a impression or feedback on Belleview apartment in puerto del alcudia. Going in October this year with my mum and sister and hopefully it will be v nice. And if you could advise on nightlife/bars/restaurants/things to do and see that woukd be great.
Usually we seek some sunshine in the Med in September/October when the sea is warm and the resorts are quiet.
Next year we are thinking about seeing the Med in springtime, in particular the week before Easter.
I've seen cheap flights to Mallorca from the UK but wondered whether we should be staying in the mountains or near the sea?
There are some amazing properties for rent in the mountains, compared to the bland beachfront developments. Soller in particular looks remarkable and sounds like it should be lively, even in early spring. Will the mountain train to Palma be running that time of year?
We are not going to lie on the beach all day, but will want some sun! Is there much climate difference across the island? We like the idea of hiking the mountains, but would it be too chilly, wet or windy the last week of March?

We are going to Mallorca in few days and gonna stay at Cala Mayor (close to Palma)
As i am aware that busses only run until around 12, and driving is not an option under considerable influence of alcohol, how much would a taxi ride cost from palma to cala mayor? how about from palma nova to cala mayor?
Anybody knows how is the nightlife in cala mayor like? (i am not looking for hardcore partying, just lively bars and cafes)
I am off to Marriotts resort soon. i need some info. are there any public bus routes nearby in case one needs to use the public transport to move around. are there any supermarkets nearby ?. i know there is a convenience store in the resort. how much would be a taxi fare from the airport to the resort during day time.
Thanks in advance
Please could someone advise me of the best way of getting from Palma Airport to puerto de soller? I know its about 40 minutes in a cab so i'm guessing that would be quite expensive as I will be traveling alone. Is there a bus or a train i can get instead?

Am spending 5 days in ibiza end of next week. Would anyone know how much would it cost us to rent a car? Gonna be 4 people. Also is it cheaper to rent once there or better online?
We have been looking at car hire for a week as we are travelling from Palma Nova to Cala Millor and wanted a car for the 2nd week of our hoiday on the east coast. The prices on all types of car hire are are pretty steep - has anyone hired cars in resort and has that proved cheaper than over the Internet?
Also, we wanted to eat out at some 'genuine'Spanish restaurants - not just touristy - any recommendations - in palma nove or cala millor?
