Mallorca 2018

We couldn't have chosen a better week for this winter break. Edinburgh was badly hit by a Siberian snow storm and we left the day after the airport re-opened and skipped all the aftermath, perfect timing indeed!

Bye bye snowy Edinburgh!
As usual we were looking for a warm place to stock up some vitamin D and do some hiking and cycling, we were not disappointed, I could have done with some more vitamin D but overall it was a brilliant place to explore.

We stayed in Palma, at the Hotel Zurbarán and were impressed by the size of the city. The Hotel was a bit far away from the train and bus station, which meant a good 7km walk every day (sometimes 14) just to get there and back. The walk itself was quite nice though and it gave us a good opportunity to explore new streets everytime we walked it. On a positive note we were 5 min away from the castle and its huge park. If we will ever go again we will definitely choose a place close to the Plaza Espanya!
