Palma Mallorca (Spain)

Unfortunately this point had to come: after a year of visiting Europe this is my last trip of the year :(

My good friend Amelie and I decided to fly out to Palma Mallorca, a Spanish Island in the Mediterranean, and go visit our friend Reyes.  This was actually a great opportunity for the two of us, as not only did we get to visit a new place, but we got the chance to live with locals, and see that side of the island.
As we flew in, Reyes came to pick us up at the airport, and we headed straight downtown to go see the city, and enjoy a couple drinks on a terrace.  Afterwards, we headed to his parents' house, where we were staying for the night.  We then headed out to dinner, and drinks on the water side, in a little quiet restaurant away from the commotions.

The next day we headed out to the beach bright and early with our picnic and some of Reyes' friends.  Of course, having the locals, we headed to secluded beaches away from the bulk of the tourists.  They have amazing beaches!  It is crazy how blue the water is!!  After a day in the sun, we headed to our hotel - dinner - and then hit up the biggest nightclub on the island!  It was insane, you had to take elevators to get to the bar, which overlooks the whole port, beach, and the Mediterranean.

Next day, as it was our last day and we had to fly out that night, we decided to hit up the more touristy beaches so we wouldn't be too far.  After a day in the sun, with crazy parties all around us, we headed back to the terraces for a couple drinks before heading back to the airport.

Palma Mallorca is absolutely incredible!!!  I would go back anytime if I had the chance!  It is also a great spot for bachelor/bachelorette parties ;)  Amelie and I had an amazing time - I'm gonna miss our crazy adventures around the island!
