On Friday, a few friends and I decided to go on a day trip to Palma<\/a>, Mallorca<\/a>. Mallorca is an island off the eastern coast of Spain and is part of the Balearic Islands<\/a> autonomous community and archipelago. The island\u00a0also just happens to be the hometown of Rafael Nadal<\/a>, which our friend Hyunjin was very excited about. It was about a hour and a half plane ride, but because we were only planning on being there for about 12 hours, we didn’t need baggage. I could get used to traveling like that… very easy and convenient!<\/p>\n

All in all, it was a very laid-back trip. We spent some time just wandering around the city and relaxed on the beach for a little bit. The island, like Ibiza<\/a>, has a reputation for attracting a lot of German tourists,\u00a0so much so that I got confused for one a few times and they actually counted out my change to me in German… at least I think that’s what they said to me, your guess is as good as mine. We walked through the streets and saw the outside of the Cathedral<\/a> and Palace of La Almudaina<\/a>.\u00a0Palma really reminded us a lot of Barcelona<\/a>, with its\u00a0architecture and sights being very similar — they also had a big Pla\u00e7a d’Espanya<\/a> and even their own La Rambla<\/a> with flower markets. I guess that shouldn’t have surprised us all that much considering they also speak Catalan<\/a> and\u00a0the islands are located right off the cost of Valencia<\/a> and Catalonia<\/a>.<\/p>\n

After a short visit with lots of sun, we hopped quickly back on our plane and\u00a0before we knew it we were back in Madrid. After such a busy last couple of days though, we were eager to get some rest.<\/p>\n
