« Mallorca - Planning a Trip | Main | Palma, Mallorca »

Mallorca, We are Going!

We chose the "Tramuntana Traverse", an 8 day/7 night walking trip that starts and ends in Palma, Mallorca. (You can look at the entire dossier on the Adventure Center website. This includes: Guide, hotels, breakfast, walks (there is always the option to ride with the vehicle to the next location if you don't walk to walk), inter-island transportation and most tours.

Air? Many different airlines to Mallorca from Europe. I've used flycheapo quite often to help find a discount carrier. Visit BookingBuddy.com for discounts on airfare, hotels, car rentals and more!. You can also go on the individual websites of Thomson Flights, easyJet, Lufthansa, and many others. Please remember, some of the discount airlines will not help you out if something goes wrong - delays, etc. You are on your own, but it is still worth flying them. When our last flight on easyJet was delayed (and possibly going to be cancelled), they told us "oh, get on the computer and rebook yourself."

Land? We decided on the Adventure Center-Explore Package, but Sherpa Expeditions is another operator that we have used many times, and are very reliable. They have a marvelous catalog filled with escorted and self-guided trips.

Hotel? Going two days early to spend some time in Palma. We just used Orbitz to find a hotel, centrally located.

General Information? Mallorca World-Guides is a good site, and since we are going to meet our group in Soller, transport information was available on Tramuntana Transport. There are numerous sites to help you.

We are heading to Puerto Soller - start of the group walking trip which looks beautiful.

All we need are Euros - by the way, we always use our ATM Card - best rates going; hiking poles; shorts; sunscreen; and, we are on our way.

Hi Sheila

Just to say that I hope you both returned safely from Mallorca and how refreshing and entertaining it was to meet you and Steve, and chat with you on our trip, sharing laughs, experiences and information.

I'm starting to read your website bit by bit and it looks incredibly useful and interesting for new and seasoned travel freaks alike! Keep up the good work and I'll stay in touch.

Love Jan xx
