In the Spring of 2004 we spent a few weeks in Mallorca, and including the time we spent there the previous Fall before going to Barcelona, we spent well over a month total on this island. Still, we feel that we only scratched the surface. This is a beatiful and historic island. It has some great achorages and of course it has the marinas of Palma, on eof the best places we found for yachtsmaen who are looking for well stocked chandleries and yacht related services. On the North shore there are spectacular, steep-walled coves and high mountains lining the entire lenght of the island.

In 1912, a train line was opened between Palma and Sóller, making the northwestern coast of Mallorca accessible to the city. The ride is neither fast nor exciting, but the vistas are spectacular, and there are numerous tunnels along the way.
