Working remotely from the Canary Islands

2020 was a year of radical change, the key word being SARS-CoV-2. Life has moved online to a great extent. Many industries and professions have disappeared from the market or had to adapt quickly to the new “rules of the game”. However, the restrictions have brought opportunities. Competence and experience in working remotely have become key skills for companies and employees.

Freedom afforded by flexible working hours online has been limited by travel restrictions. Enforcement of travel restrictions and limitations in the choice of workplace forced remote workers to seek safe and attractive locations. The Canary Islands, and in particular Gran Canaria and Tenerife, have become the ideal solution in this situation.

2020 was a year of radical change, the key word being SARS-CoV-2. Life has moved online to a great extent. Many industries and professions have disappeared from the market or had to adapt quickly to the new “rules of the game”. However, the restrictions have brought opportunities. Competence and experience in working remotely have become key skills for companies and employees.

Freedom afforded by flexible working hours online has been limited by travel restrictions. Enforcement of travel restrictions and limitations in the choice of workplace forced remote workers to seek safe and attractive locations. The Canary Islands, and in particular Gran Canaria and Tenerife, have become the ideal solution in this situation.

The two largest of the Canary Islands, Gran Canaria and Tenerife, are at the top of the rankings for the most desirable and attractive places for relocation of companies and remote workers in the world. Let’s see what makes them so popular.

The moderate, tropical climate guarantees summer and spring throughout the year. Both enthusiasts of year-round heat and slightly changeable weather will be delighted. 

The Canary Islands have a very diverse landscape in a relatively small area. Within an hour, you can move from hot beach, through sub-tropical forest, to cool mountains or hot volcanic-desert areas. Swimming in the ocean is possible all year round! 

No need to bother with winter clothes but sometimes a sweatshirt, longer trousers or a light rain jacket may come in handy.

The location between Africa and Europe makes the Canary Islands an enclave of peace and safety. It is part of Europe, separated from it by a “safety moat”, which in the aftermath of COVID is an additional asset.

The Canary Islands are accessible relatively easily, quickly and cheaply, both by air and sea. Modern airports and harbours offer efficient service at reasonable prices. Transport of belongings or animals does not present a problem. European standards and safety norms are maintained here.

Moving between islands is also relatively easy and affordable. An hour-long flight or up to a 4-hour cruise will move you between the islands.

Transport around the islands is well organised. Buses or car rentals provide comfortable travel over longer distances. Within cities, the best solution is renting a bicycle, moped or scooter.

Regardless of the length of your stay, the Canary Islands offer good quality housing and accommodation. Villas, apartments, houses or ex-hotels converted into apartment buildings offer a high standard of living at a reasonable price.

Of course, the cost of renting or buying a property is mainly influenced by location, proximity to beaches and the ocean, and the number of sunny months per year. However, it is safe to say that prices are certainly not higher than the European average and often much lower.

When looking for a place to live, I suggest you rely on local companies and forget the “great offers” from social media. It is common to be offered properties that do not exist or have several unlicensed brokers, often with no direct contact with the owner. Real estate agencies or certified companies are guaranteed to save time, money and eliminate unpleasant surprises. The cost of service is 3-5% of the value of purchased property or the monthly rental cost.

The main cities of Gran Canaria and Tenerife offer good quality office spaces that provide a full range of facilities. In cities such as Las Palmas, Santa Cruz or Adeje you will often find ready-to-use offices. Facilities for training, business meetings and events are also available at very attractive prices.

Adapting interiors to the needs of the company or employees is not a problem here. The islands have good quality interior designers who will plan company space, take care of selection, purchase and transport of equipment. Keep in mind that immediate availability may be slightly limited, but suppliers such as IKEA, OBI, Leroy Merlin do have branches here.

Coworking centres, especially recently, have gained momentum and significantly improved their offer and services. So far Las Palmas was the clear leader in remote work facilities, but lately there have been more and more attractive offers from Tenerife.

It’s just fun in the Canary Islands. It’s warm, the air is clean, no one is in a hurry, prices are reasonable and people are friendly. Life flows so peacefully that it is easy to lose track of time. For those looking for a quiet and civilised place to live and work, the Canaries are definitely an attractive destination worth considering.

Despite the small area, the islands are so diverse that both those who want to live in the city, near beaches and those looking for secluded nooks in direct contact with nature will find something for themselves. Most of the islands have no problems with access, internet or proximity to schools and shops.

The cost of living certainly does not exceed the average cost of living in Central or Western European countries. If you choose a location away from big cities, beaches or tourist centres, you can live and work comfortably at relatively low, fixed monthly costs.

The Canaries are islands of immigrants. It is a cultural melting pot of people who value peace, fun and living in the moment. The local community is open to newcomers. All initiatives from outside are appreciated and well-received.

If you start learning Spanish, cultivate local customs, take part in events important to the community, the so-called locals will accept you quickly. The desire to learn about the local culture, art, customs, cuisine and language are truly appreciated by the islands’ residents.

In the face of the blockade of mass tourism, which generated most of the islands’ income, a new strategy for the development of the Canaries has been established and implemented. In the next 10 years, the Canary Islands will become the European equivalent of Silicon Valley.

The Spanish government, in agreement with the presidents of the Canary Islands, introduced a development programme and a number of tax incentives for companies wishing to move their business or carry out long-term projects on the islands.

The Canary Islands will be an attractive place for business, especially companies from the broadly understood area of IT, research and development, new technologies and the film industry. They are expected to meet the high demands of business, offer comfortable facilities for work, life, relaxation, regeneration and pursuit of employees’ passion. In addition, they are to attract remote workers and generate new jobs for the local community and newcomers.

Strategic location for business

A stable political situation, advanced infrastructure and high standards of service make the Canary Islands a business-friendly region. The offer of facilities for the operation of companies, various forms of transport, quality of life, attractive tax and subsidy systems are some of the main reasons for the increased interest in relocating business or working from the Canary Islands.

Growing demand for employees with experience in remote work

As the number of companies moving their offices or projects to islands increases, so does the demand for skilled workers. Specialists with experience in remote work within dispersed production teams are highly sought after.  Currently, the fastest and most dynamically developing industries are:

• IT – software houses, media houses, SEO agencies, mainly looking for programmers and project managers
• content marketing – creating content for social media and SEO activities
• film – post-production, editing, sound and special effects
• animations – 3D animation and model developers, producers and managers of production groups

The number of people interested in remote work from the Canary Islands is steadily increasing. Even in 2020, during the COVID pandemic, these numbers did not decrease. The Canaries is one of the safer and quieter places to live and work remotely in the world.

Las Palmas – centre for remote workers in the Canary Islands

Given the variety of facilities and the size and activity of the digital nomad community, it is safe to say that the city of Las Palmas in Gran Canaria is the best place for remote work in the Canary Islands. The reasons being:

• the largest number of professional coworking centres
• the largest and best equipped academic centres
• a vibrant, active community of digital nomads and student communities
• a large number of global-scale remote worker community events
• cultural and technological events, film and theatre festivals, concerts
• science and art – museums, galleries, philharmonics, theatres, research centres

Tenerife – the second destination for remote workers in the Canary Islands

Tenerife is another location worth considering in terms of living and working remotely. Considering the costs, quality of life, size and diversity of the digital nomad community, Puerto de la Cruz and Santa Cruz are interesting propositions. Here you will find most coworking sites, companies supporting remote work, good weather and the largest number of people working online.

The number of people interested in remote work from the Canary Islands is steadily increasing. Even in 2020, during the COVID pandemic, these numbers did not decrease. The Canaries is one of the safer and quieter places to live and work remotely in the world.

Remote working in the Canary Islands

At Akepa, we embrace the alternative style, the remote route, and partner with people from all over the world. Here’s Akepa’s Paloma Robinson giving her perspective on remote working from Lanzarote, in the Canary Islands. It’s the fourth in a series of posts from our team on remote work in different parts of the world.

The Canary Islands has become a hub for digital nomads and remote workers post-pandemic, especially for those coming from Europe. And there are very good reasons for this…

With an average of 23º all year round, its epic volcanic beaches, and the “slow” Canarian lifestyle, there’s no wonder that the 8 islands attract attention and lure in those looking for an escape from city life.

Chillaxing on volcanic isle with small dog ‘Leo’. Nice.

That’s not to say working remotely on the islands doesn’t come with its challenges.

For the last 2 years, I’ve been remote working from the beautiful and wild Famara beach in Lanzarote, so it’s safe to say I’ve gathered some inside info on the pros and cons.

Paradise without leaving Europe

Although the Canaries are located just off the West coast of Africa, which lends the islands the ideal year-round climate, the islands are indeed part of Spain and an average two and a half hours’ flight from Madrid. This is great for European remote workers because you can access the island lifestyle yet still be close enough to hop onto a quick flight out when necessary. Not to mention the convenience of the compatible timezone and euro currency.

It’s also worth mentioning that the Canaries cannot be compared in terms of living costs to those tropical destinations such as Bali or Thailand, but the cost of living is surprisingly low for a tourist destination – especially away from the main resorts.

Lanzarote is known for volcanic landscapes and beaches, like that one

Living in a bubble

Life on an island like Lanzarote, where you spend most of your time on the beach, surfing, or on the terrace of a beach bar, can make forgetting about the rest of the world especially easy. It can sometimes feel like living in a bubble or on a constant holiday, which sounds amazing if you’re actually on holiday.

But for those of us working, we must not forget that there is a busy world outside and that we need to be in the loop of the latest news, trends, major events, etc. Finding this balance can sometimes be challenging, which brings me to my next point.

Finding that work-life balance

One of the most obvious difficulties is being able to stay focused on work while being tempted to enjoy the constant sunny blue skies and perfect waves. Gotta dig deep for that discipline!

Some of us have to lock ourselves in a room with the blinds down to avoid FOMO because of the constant holiday mood. The islands are a famous tourist hub and, as such, there are constant parties and social events, no matter the day of the week. You can imagine how the temptations can be a struggle to ignore.

The ultimate sports destination

If you’re a sporty person, Lanzarote is the island for you. It has a perfect environment for both water sports and adrenaline rushes! And being on the Atlantic, it’s a very popular surfing, scuba diving, whale watching, and hang gliding destination. I’ve found that many of the remote workers on this island have come for this exact reason. It also hosts the famous Ironman triathlon yearly.

Sport.

If you’re like me and don’t get all that crazy about the idea of sports, the island is also known for its hikes and unique biodiversity, cave exploration, the many world-class wine bodegas, yoga retreats, and horse riding. A magnificent mix.

All in all, the cons aren’t so bad.

All it takes is some getting used to – after all, the work-life balance can be an issue anywhere. But the constant holiday feel and lifestyle surrounded by nature and fitness makes this life pretty worth it. With the proviso that you have to be disciplined enough to make it work.

The leisurely time in the Canary Islands truly makes up for the time spent working. And if you love your job, you’re in a win-win situation, really! There’s a great island life to be grasped and had.

I always wanted to have a dog, but “Circumstances
formed”
so that on my 8-year-old birthday they gave me a canary Timosha!

have intelligence. Is this one really?

The topic of my research work is “Behavior
kenara in the process of communication”

1. Introduction

Our
the planet cannot be imagined without birds. On Earth, there are
over 10,000 species. Birds are faithful helpers of people
and defenders of forests, fields and orchards. People
always dreamed of flying and, watching birds, created airplanes, helicopters
rockets.

Birds have different abilities. Owls can’t move
eyes, and seagulls calmly drink salt water, hummingbirds are the only bird
flying back. The parrot is famous for its ability to speak. Nightingale in appearance
inconspicuous, but a wonderful singer. But the canary is also a beauty, a bird-singer.
The nightingale does not like to live in captivity and sings at a certain period, and the canary, although
and in a cage, but sings all year long, delighting all family members. “The trills are pouring from
watering cans are the songs of a canary!

How does human interaction affect bird behavior? – this question
I was interested in.

Research object: bird
canary

Research subject : bird behavior

Hypothesis: suppose that
birds are able to respond to our feelings.

birds in the process of communicating with us.

For
implementation of this goal, the following tasks:

§ explore
literature;

§ find out
the ability of the kenar to respond to our attitude towards him;

§ hold
experiments, observations;

§ draw conclusions;

§ create a multimedia presentation on the research topic.

For
the following methods were used to solve the tasks:

search
the necessary information in encyclopedias, the Internet; watching videos,
observation, comparison, generalization.

.

2. Theoretical
part.

Up to
for some time it was believed that birds were stupid. Observations showed that many
birds are smarter than monkeys. Crows and parrots imitate human speech or
copy words. Falcons are good hunters, owls are distinguished by wisdom .. And
pigeons … It has been established that the intelligence of these birds
quite comparable to the intelligence of a 3-year-old child. pigeons
perfectly oriented in space, can work as “postmen”, as well as
able to recognize themselves on video.

Many songbirds are positive
affect the human nervous system, the functioning of the brain and heart, and calm down in the evening
his. It is especially useful for children to communicate with a bird, especially a singing or speaking one. avian
songs are simply necessary for the development of musical ear, speech of the child.

Canary
perfectly remembers and reproduces complex musical phrases and melodies,
can even imitate human speech. Before the revolution in Russia, a cell with
the canary was in many houses. It was believed that bird singing has
beneficial effect and cleanses from evil spirits. Canaries are very unpretentious,
live and sing for 15 years, are able to breed throughout the year, have a cheerful
nature, can be a variety of colors. Canaries don’t need big
cells, these birds create harmony in relationships between family members and
beneficial effect on the human psyche.

2.1. Intelligence of birds.

Well developed head
the brain allows birds to adapt
to a variety of situations. It has been established that in birds the ability to count is developed
better than mammals. And for the extraction of food, the birds show ingenuity and
quick wits.

B
England, the tits that lived near country houses learned to remove aluminum
caps from exposed bottles with
milk or perforate them and
peck cream.

African common
the vulture found an ostrich egg, but the shell
I couldn’t break it with my beak. Then he found a stone and threw it several times with his beak
on the egg until the shell is broken. Sometimes crows and large seagulls grab
solid prey (nuts, shellfish, crabs, etc.), take off, and then drop the prey
to the ground. The reception is repeated until the nut, shell or shell is not
will split. So do some birds of prey with turtles.
(vultures) or with large bones (bearded).

Ordinary
magpie is the only bird that has passed the mirror
test. Gray parrot, jackdaw ^]
and New Caledonian raven ^]
did not pass this test.

Canaries feel great fresh air, so the miners took the birds in
slaughter. When methane appeared, the canary immediately stopped singing and fell down with
perches. Birds react the same way to carbon monoxide.

The brightest proof
mental abilities of birds is considered to be the training of songbirds to sing, repetition
human speech by parrots, magpies ,
crows. 2.2.

Birdsong

In tongue
birds singing, there are dozens of sound
signals (calamities, warnings, food, courtship, mating,
aggressive, flocking, nesting, etc.). Birds still sing with their beaks
paws, wings and even a tail.

Bird song is divided into notes or syllables.
Most of the songs consist of 1-2 syllables, but sometimes more (13-24 syllables for the Chiffchaff).
More complex parts are called motifs, or knees (like a nightingale) ^] .

Many
birds are able to adopt the songs of other species and imitate the voice
human (starlings, parrots, crows, etc.)

A Panamanian
(black-backed) forest falcon able to imitate
to their victims and thus attract them. lyrebirds
they sing phenomenally with the voices of birds, animals, humans, and even the sounds of car alarms
and chainsaws.

2.3. Effects of birdsong on human health.

Scientists have long concluded that
the singing of birds heals many diseases. In ancient times, man noted that this sound
pleasant, and tried to learn to imitate it. This is how the first appeared
musical instruments.

Interesting
that there are many centenarians among lovers of songbirds. It’s all about singing
birds are a signal of joy for our brain.

Recognized as official in Holland
method of healing treatment by bird singing is called ornithotherapy.

Scientists have found that listening
Birdsong for five minutes is as good as a 30-minute walk!

Nightingale song helps with
depression, headaches, weakness and chronic fatigue. The song of the same black
thrush helps to cure the heart, tachycardia and chronic
hypertension. The chirping of the robin has a beneficial effect in the treatment
insomnia. The singing lark helps treat bronchitis, normalizes blood
pressure.

But only the song of the canary heals
almost all of these diseases! It relieves severe headaches, high
pressure, depression, pain in the stomach and intestines.

Canary – the only one of all
songbirds can combine the sounds of other wild songbirds called
“knees” into a unique song. Therefore, her song has a high
therapeutic power for the human body.

3. Interesting facts about
canaries .

B
end of the 16th century
amazing birds were brought to Russia from Tyrol – canaries, they were bred in
Kaluga province, and then in many provinces. In the 19th century on Nizhny Novgorod
At the fair, canaries were in great demand, because they sang beautifully. BUT
to improve the song of the kenars, talented singers were selected, taught with the help
whistles, pipes, bird organ.

Canaries
attracted many famous figures and famous people. Tsar Nicholas II was a great lover
canary singing. The Russian canary was loved by Glinka, Turgenev, Bunin, Chaliapin
and many other figures of Russian culture.

In Russia, before the revolution, there were real canary centers where they bred
birds that differ in vocal data.

Canaries
were valued not only by origin (Tula, Ivanovo, Moscow,
Pavlovsk), but also according to the features of the song “move”, which were assigned
the names of its creators (“Ryabovsky”, “Shelyadovsky”, “Korablevsky”,
“Goremykinsky”).

Before the revolution were held
canary singing competitions. The medal could be received not only for
performance of the oatmeal melody, but also by teaching the canary to reproduce the melody
Mozart or a popular song.

B
USSR canary contests were popular and took place over several days. Right now in
There are 3 clubs in Moscow, including the Russian Canary Support Fund.
At least three singing competitions are held annually.

Very
red canaries are beautiful, but their voice is not as gentle and high-pitched as that of
Russian canary.

4. Experimental
part.

birds do not have intelligence. Is it really?

Sad when you
they say that the bird does not like being stroked, that it is not a cat and a dog.
Relationships with touchy animals do not seem complete to me.

Experiment No. 1. I
asked himself questions: how does the kenar react to us and is there a difference in his
towards each member of the family? Do birds like tactile contact or tolerate
him? And how does his mood manifest itself in the game with the kenar?

Kenar
allowed to communicate with him not immediately, after a few weeks. I
noted that with other members of the family, the kenar does not always communicate so friendly
like me, but with caution. The reason for this is that I communicate with him
more often and more emotionally.

Tactile
contact with the bird did not occur immediately …… Kenar did not immediately allow himself to be touched and
iron. But I decided, by all means, to establish relations with my new
the other – the bird Timosha. And soon I was conquering the whole family with my “circus”
representations. Without fear, he began to sit on my arm and shoulder, and even
watch TV with me sitting on my head.

I
noticed that the kenar loves very much when they greet him in the morning, turn to him
attention, talk to him affectionately. In the morning when he
sings, does not like to be touched and disturbed, and then begins
beautifully sing,

My game with
kenar lies in the different movements of my hands, to which he famously reacts.
He not only moves around the cage at the commands of my fingers, but with his
moving around the cage shows that he wants me to put him on a swing.

Conclusions:

1.
I realized that tactile
contact with a bird is considered optional, but certainly important. The main thing is
get the most out of interacting with each other
friend. Maybe, of course, the bird itself does not experience so much delight from
stroking the paws, back, head, but what bliss it is when a small, warm bird, bowing its head, rests
you either in the shoulder, or between the bars of the cage, or simply in the substituted
palm, narrowing his eyes – completely trusting you.

2.
Of course, in the process of communication, the bird will
to recognize you, and you will be surprised by her new and new successes and victories. Intelligence
birds will develop, but such a close friendship, like with a cat or a dog, you
do not install.

Experiment No. 2.

heard by the canar, to his song?

My pet Timosha has
unique voice data. He sings very beautifully.

I started noticing that he was starting
sing, not only when you hear the sound of water and the noise of electrical appliances (hair dryer,
kettle, vacuum cleaner), but also various melodies.

I decided by experiment
set to what melody he will sing more beautifully.

I suggested that the canary should not listen
only recordings of voices of other birds, but melodies of different musical genres. results
I was convinced that the overflow of the voice of my kenar is always different.

Output: I made sure that
Kenars skillfully imitate the singing of other birds and reproduce musical melodies.
My kenar is definitely a real virtuoso in this area.

Final
part.

research work, I learned a lot of new interesting things about birds, their
similarities and differences, features of intelligence. But most importantly, he replenished his
knowledge about my pet – kenar, its historical roots, unique singing,
features of his voice and made sure that birdsong has a beneficial effect on
people’s health.

I realized that if a person communicates with birds,
regularly hears their singing, then he is in an environment that brings him
endless joy and charges him with positive.

Thanks to my exercises in contact with the bird, I
made sure that my assumptions are correct (true) – birds are able to respond to
our feelings!

The Danes made a dying canary air quality sensor

Grigory Kopiev

The Danish company Canairi has presented a carbon dioxide level sensor of the same name, made in the form of a canary. If the gas level gets too high, the canary “dies” and shows the person that it’s time to ventilate the room. The developers have published the project on the Kickstarter crowdfunding platform and have already collected all the required amount for the launch.

From the end of the 19th century until the spread of gas sensors, miners in Great Britain and other countries often used a canary cage in the same capacity. Canaries are more sensitive to carbon monoxide and methane, and a much lower concentration in the air is enough for them to die than a person. And since it is a songbird, when the gas is released, it will stop singing and become a signal for the miners that it is necessary to return to the surface.

Danish engineers decided to implement the same principle for monitoring carbon dioxide at home, but in a humane way, by creating a sensor in the form of a canary. It is made in the form of a round stand that needs to be fixed on the wall, and a canary on it. The principle of operation of the sensor is simple: if the concentration of carbon dioxide is kept at the level of 1000 parts per million (ppm) for 10 minutes, the canary turns over and indicates that it is time to ventilate the room. And when the air returns to normal, it returns to its original position and does not turn over for two hours, so as not to distract people.

The company published the project on Kickstarter, asking for about seven thousand dollars, but by the time the note was published, it had received orders for more than 365 thousand. The cost of one “bird” is about 113 dollars. It is expected that the first buyers will start receiving gadgets in October.

Interestingly, canaries as a gas detector for miners have received another modern interpretation. In modern times, “canary evidence” is commonly referred to as a method of disclosing information about cooperation with government agencies that prohibit talking about such cooperation. One of the most striking examples belongs to Apple. For some time, she included in the reports the phrase that the company did not receive a request from the US authorities to disclose user data, which is prohibited from reporting. But then the phrase disappeared from the report, which was taken as confirmation of such a request, although the company did not formally declare this and did not thereby violate the law.

Best Things To Do in Palma

186

SHARES

The grandeur of a Gothic Cathedral towering above the city, a labyrinth of brightly coloured walls enclosing tiny streets, shaded squares sound-tracked by birdsong and free-flowing fountains, and a plethora of delicious restaurants and nightlife. Welcome to Palma de Mallorca, the capital of the Balearics.

The first time I visited the island, I hadn’t consulted a guide to Palma city, and my only plan was to avoid Magaluf and explore some of the other reasons to visit Mallorca island. Sadly, while doing so, I ended up accidentally avoiding Palma altogether. Having recently returned to spend a week in the city itself, I’ve managed to correct my mistake and discover many of the best things to do in Palma.

In fact, I’d go as far as saying that Palma is an ideal city break, which is quite surprising for an island destination – yet, it ticks all the boxes; gastronomy, history, culture, and more than enough places to eat and drink in style.

Here’s a quick city guide to Palma de Mallorca and what to expect from a long weekend in one of the most underrated cities in Europe.

When to visit and how long to spend in Palma de Mallorca?

Depending on how you wish to spend your time on the island of Mallorca, you could make Palma a two-day visit or a two-week holiday.

Thanks to the regular flight schedules, even in the winter months, coming for a weekend or a long weekend will give you a chance to explore the top things to do in Palma and get a flavour of the island’s capital city. If you opt to use Palma as a base for longer, then it’s an ideal base (especially with a car) to take day trips out to other parts of the island – whether the story-book style inland villages or the breathtaking cove beaches of crystal clear waters. 

Deciding when to visit is also relatively easy, as the weather is pretty kind all year round. Unfortunately, I experienced the rainiest week the island had seen in twenty years, yet we still had a great time. Of course, if you are looking to visit the island more for sunbathing and beaches, most guides to Palma de Mallorca will suggest that summer is the best time to visit. However, with higher prices and more crowds, you may want to think again.

The shoulder seasons in Spring and Autumn are always the best, in my opinion, for visiting Europe’s popular coastal destinations, and the same applies to this city guide to Palma de Mallorca. Given the city doesn’t close down outside of summer, it’s also one of the best winter destinations in Europe, albeit not as hot as the Canary Islands.

Where to stay in Palma de Mallorca? 

Palma is a much bigger city than most people realised before arriving, which means there is an array of accommodation options for all budgets and group sizes.

For many, an island getaway means booking a white-washed luxury villa, especially if you are travelling with a big group of friends or family members. Mallorca certainly has plenty of delightful options to choose from, although many are more concentrated around the smaller coastal resorts.

There are, however, some good villa options very close to Mallorca hosted by Vida Villas, certainly close enough to take a bus or taxi in and out of the city, or you could opt to stay closer to a beach resort and drive into Palma for day-trips. 

On my recent visit, as I was travelling solo, I found the accommodation options to be pretty affordable in late November. I secured private rooms at both the New Art Hostel and Hostal Pinnar for under €30 a night and would happily recommend both. For sea views and a bit more luxury, the larger resorts like Melia or charming El Llorenç Parc de la Mar might be better choices for a romantic city break.

Arriving to Palma by ferry‘Home’ for the night

How to get to Palma de Mallorca? 

Palma de Mallorca is the main gateway to the Balearic Islands, and I was pretty shocked at just how large the airport is – this island is certainly no Spanish hidden gem. It is well served by budget and flag-carrying airlines from Europe and will soon start hosting direct flights from the USA. It’s a short drive from the city centre (expect to pay around €20 for a taxi) and is connected by the airport bus. 

An alternative, especially if you are coming from another island like Menorca or Ibiza, Barcelona or Valencia, is to do like me and take the ferry.

The island hopping routes are shorter, but to and from the mainland, you can choose from various operators, some with day and some with night sailings. I paid €19 for an overnight sailing with GNV from Valencia and ended up napping on a couch with my sleeping bag. Waking up to the views of Palma Cathedral through the window at blue hour was particularly nice.

Things to do in Palma de Mallorca

One of the biggest joys for me about Spanish cities is just slowly taking in the colourful and historic buildings, the tile work, the plazas, and stopping here and there for a vinho or tapa. There are, however, some impressive attractions in Palma, and it’s well worth adding one or two of these best things to do in Palma de Mallorca into your schedule.

Palma Cathedral – the top thing to do in Palma de Mallorca

If there is one attraction that stands above the rest, both literally and figuratively, it’s Palma Cathedral. This Gothic Roman architectural feat looks good from all angles, whether admiring it from the outside across the still waters or seeing the stain-glass windows bouncing light around the imposing pillars inside. 

Royal Palace of La Almudaina

Just next door to the Cathedral is the Royal Palace, also well worth visiting inside for the elaborately decorated carpeted rooms and idyllic setting in the courtyard. Dating back to the 14th century, there is plenty of history to discover within the Palace’s walls. 

Castell de Bellver

A short walk from the city centre and promising fantastic views across Palma and the Marina, the uniquely shaped Bellver Castle is a bargain to enter for just a few euros. The rounded interior is rather impressive, and the views from the rooftop are especially special at sunset. 

The beautifully round Castle

Es Baluard Contemporary Art Museum

With mainly modern art collections from artists of the Balearic islands and international artists, this modern museum is ideal for a rainy day visit.

Fundació Miró Mallorca

Housing an extensive collection of paintings by the artist Joan Miró, who, while born in Barcelona, made his home later in Palma, the vast display includes sculptures, gardens and some of his most famous works. 

Head to the Beach

It wouldn’t be an island city break without a bit of beach time, and the Platja de Can Pere Antoni is right on the city’s doorstep. While there are certainly much more tranquil bays further along the coast, you don’t need to go far to have your fit in the sand and a dip in the Med.

Guide to Palma’s best places to eat

After exploring all the best things to do in Palma, it’s time for Palma’s impressive food scene. From two Michelin Star restaurants down to tiny tapas houses, you are very much spoilt for choice. I did seem to find myself drinking more than eating during my last visit, but this is my guide to Palma de Mallorca’s foodie spots that I really would recommend. 

Mercat 1930

A fantastic concept for some food and drinks, Mercat 1930 is essentially a big vintage bar area with tiled floors and an occasional DJ, where food stalls surround the tables in the middle with traditional Spanish and international cuisine. Find a seat, grab a drink from the bar, and then hit up the stands for as many small or large plates as you can manage. The owner and staff will go out of their way to ensure you have a good night that goes far beyond just grabbing a bite to eat in this very social atmosphere.

By far, the best meal I ate during my time in Palma was at De Tokio a Lima. With soothing music, dipped lighting, and impressive art, this swanky joint serves up a fusion menu of Peruvian and Japanese dishes with a Mediterranean twist.  

The ceviche was perfectly acidic and spicy, the Tuna Tartar delightfully dressed with Guava, and the meat was perfectly tender. Couple this with great cocktails, wine pairings and professional but not overbearing service, and you’ve got a fantastic lunch or dinner option as a treat. 

De Tokio a LimaCountless bars to sample

Tapalma Tapas Event

If you find yourself in Palma during late November, then be sure to grab yourself some coupons for the Tapalma festival. These little coins can be exchanged for small plates at plenty of restaurants around the city, each highlighting their signature tapas dishes. One of my favourite little spots we ended up going to as part of Tapalma was La Trastienda Mallorca off the main boulevard; great food, service and an excellent shady location under a tree.

Guide to Palma’s best places to drink and party

While a lot of the ‘party’ attention in Mallorca, especially in the UK, is focused around Magaluf, you’ll be pleased to hear the nightlife in the capital city is much more enjoyable and, dare I say it, sophisticated. There are terrace cafes and bars on squares and boulevards, late-night cocktail venues with moody lighting, and plenty of trendy and hip spots to sip a craft brew.

Here is my guide to Palma de Mallorca’s best spots to drink, including my favourite places I found myself boozing during my last visit. 

Rooftop views: SKYBAR at Hotel Almudaina

You can never go wrong with a rooftop bar, and the offering of Hotel Almudaina is a great place to enjoy a cocktail or glass of local wine while admiring the Cathedral and the Mediterranean Sea beyond.

Admiring the views from Castell Bellver

Good Vibes: BigFoot

This small and laid-back bar not far from the Cathedral serves up great beers and a mean margarita in a relaxed yet fun atmosphere until the early hours. 

Vintage & Tapas: Moltabarra Bar de Tapas

Perhaps my favourite drinking spot in Palma, Moltabarra, is a trendy and vintage joint in the city centre. With a cassette rack to pick from instead of a duke-box, old magazines, records and typewriters decorating the shelves, and a delicious set of Pintxos decorating the bar, it’s a great place for both early and late drinks.  

Silent Disco: La Casa de Cookie

Set on a quaint square near the centre, at first glance, this bar looks like a small and narrow spot with a heavy crowd upstairs. But, underground, you’ll find headphones waiting for you to enjoy a night of silent revelry – pick from mainstream pop, techno or indie on the headphones controller and enjoy the night!

Late night: Avenida de Gabriel Roca

Sadly, due to COVID, I didn’t make it to any nightclubs in Palma. However, many of the late-night bars we did end up in were along the waterfront at Avenida de Gabriel Roca. I can’t say any of them were particularly great or memorable, but if you don’t want the night to end, this is where you should be heading!

Day trip ideas from Palma de Mallorca

Mallorca has a lot to offer for every kind of traveller, whether it’s getting out on the water on a boat tour, scuba diving, hitting up some historic villages or heading into the mountains. Here are a few of my favourite day trips from Palma to consider if you stay for more than a weekend. 

Memorable: Port de Sóller

One of my absolute favourite places to visit in Mallorca is Port de Sóller, a small bay and village on the island’s west coast. A big part of the magic is taking the vintage wooden train from Palma to reach here. The rickety wooden carriages slowly work their way through the verdant mountains, lemon trees hanging outside the carriage windows before you arrive in the town, where a small tram takes you to the coastline. 

Port do SollerTaking the historic train

Beach: Caló del Moro

If you have a car, you are spoilt for choice when it comes to breathtaking bays and beaches around the island. To me, one of the most beautiful was Caló del Moro and the surrounding stretches, where rock formations, caves and cerulean waters dance around still bays perfect for swimming and relaxing. If you are without a car, you can still make it here by changing buses in Campos, although you may want to pick a closer bay to enjoy as a day trip.  

Quaint villages: Valldemossa

Around a thirty-minute drive (also possible on the 200 bus) from Palma is the postcard-perfect village of Valldemossa, a popular spot for tourists and an ideal day trip from the city. Typical stone houses line the flower-drenched streets, set against the background of the dramatic Tramuntana Mountains. Explore the streets, soak up the atmosphere, and admire the impressive Monastery, the main attraction in this quaint village. 

Hiking: Tramuntana Mountains

For those looking to get a little more active, the surrounding mountains of Valldemossa, the Tramuntana Mountains, which stretch along the whole west coast of the island, have plenty of hiking trails to enjoy for all levels. 

Local Flavours: Bodegas of Mallorca

The wine history of Mallorca dates back to the Roman Period. There are many options for wine-tasting tours which depart Palma – whether it is to a historic windmill surrounded by vines or to take part in the traditional harvest around September, it’s an integral part of the island’s culture that you should not miss.

Is Mallorca Worth Visiting? 12 Reasons to Love It (or Not)

Is Mallorca worth visiting? I’m here to spill the tea on the good, the bad, and the ugly.

I’m usually gushing over Spanish destinations because Spain feels like my home away from home, but in this post, you’ll see exactly what I liked and disliked about this island.

If you want to know my final verdict, then yes, I do think Mallorca is a good place to visit, but here’s everything you need to consider before planning a trip.

*I try to keep the information on this blog as updated as possible, but I still recommend consulting the latest prices, opening hours, and other details on each site’s official website.

THE MAIN THING THAT BOTHERED ME ABOUT MALLORCA, SPAIN

TOURISTS, TOURISTS, AND MORE TOURISTS

So here’s the thing – I knew Mallorca was touristy and obviously did not expect to be the only one there. BUT it was a different kind of touristy.

As a huge Spain lover, I think I’ve visited enough places to know that some regions have yet to be discovered while others have become extremely popular. Yet, in most cases, there’s still a reasonable balance between tourists and locals.

For example, even in a bustling city like Madrid, you don’t have to make a lot of effort to experience its authentic side, and you definitely don’t feel like only tourists are around you.

I’m not saying that Mallorca’s authentic side is non-existent, but I feel like the touristy vibe can easily overshadow it, and I wish they were more balanced because that’s a big deal for a traveler like me.

IS MALLORCA WORTH VISITING? ALL THE THINGS TO LOVE ABOUT IT

YOU CAN FIND QUIET EVEN IN TOURISTY PLACES

Considering everything I’ve written about tourists in Mallorca, it wasn’t difficult at all to find the quiet areas of the island’s most visited cities and towns. The minute you stray from the streets where all the shops and restaurants are, you see fewer and fewer people.

If you think about it, that’s kind of sad, but I can’t say I didn’t enjoy having some streets and alleys all to myself.

PalmaValldemossa

THE WEATHER

What is Mallorca like in terms of temperatures? As a sun-drenched Mediterranean island (though I’ve encountered a couple of cloudy mornings), Mallorca offers fantastic weather almost all year long.

Take into consideration that it can get extremely hot and humid in July and August (27°C-33°C / 80.6°F-91.4°F by day) and not warm enough to take a dip in the winter months (14°C-17°C / 57.2°F-62.6°F by day), which still leaves you with more than enough time to visit Mallorca and enjoy idyllic weather.

The summer months are also when hotel prices can be unbelievably expensive, so spring and fall can be good choices for your Mallorca trip.

BEAUTIFUL BEACHES

Being one of the best beach destinations in Europe, it’s not surprising that Mallorca boasts a dreamy coastline. With dozens of heavenly beaches with crystal-clear waters, this island is a great place to unwind and soak up some sun.

It’s good to know that even though Mallorca is touristy, it doesn’t necessarily mean that every single beach is overcrowded with people.

In fact, when I visited popular places like the resort town of Port de Pollença and Formentor Beach, I was pleasantly surprised by their tranquility.

It’s also important to know that accessibility varies from beach to beach. Some can be reached by bus, some by car, and others require 15-30 minutes of walking from the nearest road/parking lot (including passing through steep, unpaved paths).

Formentor BeachPort de Pollença

ENCHANTING TOWNS

Strolling through the cobbled streets of historical European towns is one of the greatest joys in (my) life, and Mallorca is home to quite a few visit-worthy ones.

From Valldemossa to Alcudia to Pollença, there are more than enough picturesque places that are an absolute delight to explore.

If you love unique experiences, you should also know that you can reach the town of Soller with a vintage train dating back to the early 20th century. I thought it was going to be an overrated attraction, but I highly recommend it.

ValldemossaWhy visit Mallorca – for the beautiful towns

JAW-DROPPING NATURAL LANDSCAPES

One of the best reasons to visit Mallorca is that you don’t only get to see dreamy shades of blue (courtesy of the Mediterranean) but also miles and miles of green.

So many roads offer views of fields, almond trees, orange groves, and even vineyards, though one of the most scenic parts of the island is the Serra de Tramuntana mountain range, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

It’s home to some of the towns I’ve mentioned and countless hiking trails, viewpoints, hidden coves, and unique manmade landmarks. 

Other natural areas you can explore are the coastal Mondrago Natural Park and Sa Dragonera Natural Park (located on a nearby uninhabited island). If you’re an avid nature lover, these parts of Mallorca will surprise you.

Is Mallorca a good holiday destination for nature lovers? Yes, yes, yes!

PALMA IS SUCH A LOVELY CITY

Is Palma de Mallorca worth visiting? I’m pretty sure that most people don’t travel to Mallorca just to spend a day or two in the capital, Palma, but don’t underestimate this city.

I thought it was just going to be a base point from where I would take day trips, but I discovered an intriguing city with an incredible old town (and other fascinating neighborhoods), lots of historical landmarks, a great culinary scene, photogenic architecture, and so much more.

So if you’re only a short flight away and a quick Spanish weekend break is all you’re looking for, consider spending it in Palma de Mallorca.

Is Palma de Mallorca worth visiting? Definitely!

RICH HISTORY

When Mallorca is often perceived solely as a beach destination, it’s easy to forget that its history is no less than fascinating.

From prehistory and Roman times to the Arab rule and the conquest of the island by King Jaume I of Aragon (who became the King of Majorca) in the 13th century, each era had its impact on Mallorca and left landmarks you can still visit today.

These include remains of prehistoric and Roman settlements, Moorish gardens, medieval walls, monasteries, cathedrals, and palaces. If you’re a history lover, you’re in for a treat.

Palma Cathedral

MUST-SEE MANMADE AND NATURAL LANDMARKS

Diving a little deeper into all the landmarks you can see in Mallorca, anyone can find at least one point of interest to enjoy.

Some of the highlights of this island are: 

• Remains of villages from the Bronze Age like the Talaiots de Son Fornés
• Ruins of the Roman city of Pollentia
• Medieval walls of Alcudia
• Palma Cathedral, Royal Palace of La Almudaina, and Bellver Castle
• Capdepera Castle
• Royal Carthusian Monastery of Valldemossa

If you’re more of a natural landmark kind of traveler, head to the infamous caves of Cuevas del Drach and Cuevas dels Hams, visit Cap de Formentor (Mallorca’s northernmost point), or hike in the Torrent de Pareis canyon.

Royal Palace of La Almudaina

THE CULTURE

If you’re a culture buff, Mallorca is going to win you over.

Apart from the capital city of Palma, which is home to many museums and art galleries (including the Es Baluard museum of modern art and the Joan Miró Foundation), you’ll find quite a few intriguing places to visit.

From the Frédéric Chopin and George Sand Museum in Valldemossa, where the gifted Polish composer spent a very productive time on the island, to La Granja d’Esporles, a museum dedicated to Mallorca’s history and traditions (housed in a 17th-century mansion), Mallorca will surprise you.

You can also visit the weekly markets taking place in plenty of towns across the island, indulge in Mallorquin food (if you love seafood, vegetables, and baked goods, you won’t be disappointed), attend some festivals, and the list goes on.

DIVERSE AND UNIQUE ACTIVITIES

I hope that by now, you understand that there’s a lot more to do in Mallorca than just unwind at the beach. Other than all the activities and places I’ve mentioned so far, this island has a few more surprises up its sleeve.

Outdoors enthusiasts can go hiking, cycling, scuba diving, kayaking, and canyoning; wine lovers can tour central Mallorca’s vineyards; others can take a boat tour to watch dolphins in the wild. Pretty exciting, right?

YOU CAN EXPLORE IT BY CAR OR PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION

Is Mallorca a good place to visit without a car? There’s no doubt that taking a road trip would be an ideal way to discover Mallorca’s hidden gems, conveniently get to every nook and cranny of the island, and have the most flexibility.

That said, you can also plan a Mallorca itinerary that doesn’t require renting a car yet still includes some of the most beautiful places on the island.

Reachable by bus are picture-perfect spots like Mirador Es Colomer (the most iconic viewpoint in Mallorca), Jardines de Alfabia, and Alcudia, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

Good location

March 2021 • For two

We rested at the hotel at the beginning of the trunk of the Palm Jumeirah. Very convenient location – the hotel has its own beach, across the road is the Makhell Mall shopping center with shops, a supermarket and a monorail stop (a magnetic road without a driver) that goes to the mainland and to Atlantis. There is also a jogging track 2600 m long. We walked 2 km to the observation deck of the point. And when we went on a sightseeing tour, it turned out that we had already seen a lot of things near us) unfortunately we could not look at the palm tree from a height, since the roof top observation deck in the shopping center and the Dubai eye are still closed. nine0003

Palm Jumeirah

dec. 2019

In the United Arab Emirates, on the coast of the Persian Gulf near the coast of Dubai, three artificial palm islands, stylized as a palm tree, were built. The first and most compact is Palma Doumeira. The second and third are Palmam Jabal Ali and Deira. This artificial island was built from stones and sand, without the use of metal and concrete. nine0068 The Palm Jumeirah is the largest artificial island in the world. With its outlines, it repeats a palm tree (trunk and 16 symmetrically arranged leaves), which is surrounded by a crescent-shaped breakwater to protect it from waves.
The “trunk” is the main part of the Palm Jumeirah. There are multi-storey buildings, shops, clubs, cafes, restaurants, beaches and all the rest for a comfortable life of the institution. A car tunnel and a bridge built under water lead to the crescent. A monorail runs through the Palm Jumeirah’s Trunk. nine0068 “Crown” consists of 16 palm branches. In the center of each of which there is a highway, along which there are two rows of private villas. Tourists are not allowed to visit the villas. In general, about 2 thousand villas were built on the island, and each has its own name.
The Crescent serves as a breakwater that protects the interior of the Palm Jumeirah from destruction. The territory of the “Crescent” is occupied by hotels, clubs and beaches.
Palm Jumeirah is connected to the mainland by a 300-meter bridge, and an underwater tunnel connects it to the breakwater. nine0003

Of course, it is much more convenient to go to the palm tree by car, but we traveled by public transport.

March 2020

There is an interchange from the bus or tram to the monorail. The last station is the Atlantis hotel. In the evening we walked with the child in the park at the 1st station, a very cool and well-groomed park with many playgrounds, everything seems to be a puppet, and it is amazing when you realize that all this is built on a man-made island, although in the evening it’s not even clear. I advise you to go during daylight hours to Atlantis. but now the construction around is very active, for freaky photos you need to look for a place

Nothing special

dec. 2019 • For two

To get to Jumeirah palm you need to take a monorail and it will bring you to the very edge of the island. Ordinary Cards that are valid in Dubai are not valid here. You need to buy a separate ticket, which you will then pick up at the exit. A round-trip ticket with an exit costs 30 dirhams per person. If you just want to ride without leaving, then 15, but there is no point in this. On the island itself there is the Atlantis hotel and a small promenade. There is nothing else to see there. I don’t see much point in visiting this place, but if you need it for show, then of course you should go and take a picture against the backdrop of the sea and the hotel))
