The first thing I noticed when entering Palma was the main coastal avenue lined with towering palm trees overlooking the sea. A sea where hundreds of luxury yachts are docked. Yachts ranging from humble to exuberant. As I was being driven through Avinguda D’ Antoni Maura there was this massive Cathedral to my right. I passed many beautiful parks and lakes surrounding the old city. I made a mental note to go back a visit the Cathedral, I just hoped I could fit it into my itinerary.
After asking the driver to take me around the place for a few hours just so I could admire the old city, I asked him to take me to the Corte Ingles. It’s a famous Spanish department store. I needed to get in some shopping. I fumbled my way through the young ladies clothing, after paying for my extensive selections, I went downstairs to the supermarket, which I heard had a wonderful selection of vegetarian foods. My mouth watered over the gourmet snacks and veggie food. I filled a small basket with all that I wanted and quickly left to find my driver and have him take me to one of the 5 star hotels in Palma. Even if this hotel caters to vegetarians, they never have what I like. So, my little basket of snacks will quench my desires.
After I let my driver go and checked into the hotel. I went out on a scavenger hunt, if you will. I was in search of a great dance club. I love to dance. I asked about here and there and finally someone suggested I go to this hole in the wall bar. They advised me if I want a taste of the real Mallorca dancing then I need to go the that bar. I took their advise and went to the hole in the wall bar they recommended. When I found it, it really did look very seedy, but a braved it and went inside. It was dark and smoky, but the music and the dancing was so vibrant and alive. All the dancers out on the dance floor were so involved and so intense. So, when the first man asked me to dance, I jumped to the chance! What fun, I never let loose so much in my entire life. The rhythm and the atmosphere swept me away. I didn’t get out of there until they closed at 2am! I was soaking wet from all the dancing I did!
When I awoke the next morning, I was smiling from ear to ear and I felt a new found freedom. Today, screw my itinerary, I’m going to fit in visiting that Cathedral.
