Majorca Island Travel Forum

how long does the trip around the caves last?
would it be recommended to teenagers or would we find it boring?

my wife is going to magaluf in the summer. however, she is a coeliac and needs a gluten free diet. do any of you fellow sufferers know of anywhere she can go and get something to eat

We are going to Alcudia in August and so it will be a busy time! We are also about as far from Palma as you can get, but we want to take a trip on the Soller Train.
I wondered if anyone had any tips for planning the day? I want to take as leisurely ride as possible rather than just hop-on and hop-back straight-away - maybe stop off along the way for photos.
I have the map and timetable - however I need to plan this in with a trip by bus to Palma as I prefer not to hire a car while on holiday.
Any tips or info about your trip?

We are spending some time in Majorca over Easter, staying in Palma, Soller and Pollenca.

Are there any Easter celebrations?
What closes or shuts down over this time?
Any suggestions for lovely restaurants in these areas?

Can anyone please suggest how we find a good local cook to produce some Spanish food for 6 of us at the Villa we are renting in Soller in June?

Hi, thinking of going to Majorca in June and wondered which resort is the best for us. We are a couple, no children, don't go to nightclubs, but like nice restauarants and bars, a good beach and generally nice resort. Oh, and prefereably no more that an hour from the airport by car. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Thinking of stay at es bolero apartments on Cala d'or, Majorca. Has anyone stayed there please?

Hey everyone.

Well as usual I'm on my travels to new places and this time me and my girlfriend are off to Cala D'or.
Never been there or to Majorca so please give us some much needed advice so we can make the most of the time there, in particular all the usual:

Nice places to eat?
Nice places to drink?
Nice romantic places to spend our time in the area?
General things we should do whilst on Majorca and places to visit?

Many thanks in anticipation of all your help :)

Hi I am going to the hotel leo near the end of the month, could anyone whos been there this year give me their views on the place. I havent been able to find many up to date reviews on the net. Thanks Ron

We are visiting Majorca in a few days and was wondering what the situation is like regarding obtaining food. There has been a lot of press lateley about supermarkets running out of food, no petrol etc. We are travelling with a 6 month old baby who needs specific food. If we cant obtain it out on holiday we need to take it with us.
Any advice gratefully received. We are staying in a villa in Pollensa.
Thanks,
Simon

I have had some great family holidays in Majorca over the years but now as we are traveling alone I am looking for any resorts that are not dominated by the British or the Germans.
Are there any resorts that one would regard as a typical Spanish resort preferably on the coast?

HI..

Taking advantage of cheap Ryanair flights via London, my friend and I will be in Mallorca from Feb 11 till Feb 15. I know this is not the best time to visit but since we have never been to Mallorca before, so this will be a new experience for us. Can anyone suggest an itinerary that will allow us to appreciate the natural beauty of Mallorca? Will be renting a car. What are the must not missed sights in Mallorca? Do we bargain with the hoteliers since it is off season? Thanks.

I wonder if anybody could recommend a good quick route from uk to Majorca suggesting the best ferries and accomodation en route, bearing in mind that one of the travellers will be a cocker spaniel ?
My friend has bought a house there and will be wanting to drive there with her dog, probably next April or May.

Hello All,

Any ideas on where I can go to watch a Bull fight in Majorca this weekend or maybe the following weekend?
Would appreciate some tips on where I can go and how I can get there please.
