Balneario de S'Iletes

On our last day, we decided to go to the beach. Al tough being close to the sea means being cold by wind, the day was nice enough and sunny to enjoy. The beaches in Palma around found on the East of the Bay, as oppose to the Ports on the West. This particular strip of beach is popular with the tourists [specially Germans]. S'Iletes and S'Arenals are the German Riviera of, Germans. As they consider Mallorca an extension of their country, it would make sense that they would come here to vacation [in fact, besides Spanish and Catalan, German is considered second/third language in Mallorca]. Anyways, this balneario, Balneario 6 is the most famous and popular among Germans. It is a Spring Break Beach of sorts for them. The drinks are big and view is nice to enjoy. Must be nicer in summer. Can't wait to come back and join the locals, or tourists, depends on your point of view...

The Bay of Soller


The bay city is actually bigger than Soller, at least that's how it felt to me. Maybe beacause of the openness of the town. The bay leads into the northen sea of Mallorca [the Mediterranian Sea].




The City of Soller


Soller is a small town north in the island of Mallorca. It is an hour away from Palma by train, which travels from fields to mountains. The city is close to the northen sea and the Port of Soller. As November is a low season month there wasn't many tourists, or locals by that matter. This day was perhaps the only cloudy day on my whole trip, but it wasn't too cold. This fountain is close to the main Square where the church is located.
