Mallorca Trip - Day 7, October 14, 2008











Today was a transition day - checking out of the Valparaiso Palace in Palma and crossing the island to the northeast corner of the island to Alcudia Bay. Our 55 mile route took us along lovely rural roads with stone walls on either side - rolling terrain with no real climbs. We stopped at the Kollflex leather factory and outlet where I found a funky leather calf hair belt with a silver buckle. The outlet also had a cappuchino bar! We stopped in Pollenca for lunch - looking for pizza - but the shop was closed. Instead we had lunch at a sandwich bar with an outdoor terrace - I stopped in at a grocery store and bought some turkey, a nectarine and plain yogurt. Our hotel for the next few days was the Parc Naturelle - owned by the same Gruphotel as the Valparaiso - another 5 star, very modern and beuatiful grounds. The hotel was situated on the water with its own beach. We had a nice side view of the water from our room. And the same fantastic spa facilities. I was tired and took a short nap before dinner at the hotel.
