Palma de Mallorca day 4 (5 May 2023)

We had lots of stuff planned for our final day but we decided to just take it a bit easy with more chill time instead.

We headed round to the local Mercadona supermarket to pick up some stuff to take home and jamon rolls for the flight home (our number 1 aeroplane hack). On the way home we just stopped in at a local cafe for breakfast. We soaked up some vitamin d while having coffee and pan tomate (me) and toast with butter and jam (k).

After we dropped the shopping off at home we just headed into town to get the bus to the Miro Foundation. The bus was less than 30 mins but it was a lovely journey, passing some amazing views and fancy af houses up in the hills.

The Miro museum was great, I'm not the hugest fan of his work but the building and the gardens were beautiful and the views were incredible so im glad we went. As well as the main museum we got to go into his studio which was pretty cool to see.

Post museum we headed to a nearby viewpoint which was incredible. Beautiful beaches and the sea and views down the coast. We headed down the 120 steps from the mirador to ground level and walked along the town at Cala Major. It was weird, we were hardly outside Palma.city centre but this was a different place entirely, it was a proper resort town.

We'd been fancying something a bit different for lunch so we ended up in a vegan/gluten free cafe. I had a sandwich with lots of veg and cheese and k had the avo wrap. Both were really nice and fresh, just what we fancied. We then just continued our walk before hopping on the bus back into town.

We had decided we def wanted to have another ensaimada before heading home so we went to Can Joan de S'Aigo cos apparently they have some of the best. It was a really cute place with traditional decor, full of groups of middle aged Spanish ladies catching up over pastries. We both got coffee and K opted for a traditional ensaimada while I went for an apple and custard one. Both were delicious but k's was fresh out the oven and still warm and it was exceptional.

Our final stop in town was at Alaska for a final al fresco caña from a frosty glass (we also shared a sneaky plate of chips). They had set up one of those pianos that anyone can play in the square except it was a grand piano cos they are fancy boys in Palma. The people playing it were all amazing, the crowds were going wild for it! They were so good that I assumed it was a fancy busker at first.

After that we just headed back to the house to chill and enjoy our outdoor space. We just chilled in the garden for a few hours with our legs in the pool, eating fruit and generally being delighted. Then sadly we had to pack up and tidy up before dinner as we had to leave at 4am the next morning for an early flight. Luckily I was able to book a taxi on a local app so that side of things was easy.

At about 7ish we strolled back into town for dinner. We walked through the park near the station and it was lovely - everyone was out enjoying the sun, kids were playing and people were doing al fresco dance classes.

We went a final wander through the old town and bought a postcard we'd been looking for since we saw it a few days prior. We had an 8 o'clock dinner reservation cos of our early flight but it meant we go our pick of the tables which was good.

Our dinner was at La Vieja, a Michelin recommended Canaraian restaurant. Cos K used to live in Gran Canaria she was really looking forward to this menu. The scene was set straight away with beautiful decor and lots of references to the Canaries. K was snap happy.

Luckily the food lived up to the hype. We had a tiny shredded beef arepa, papas arugadas with red and green mojo (the waiter made the green mojo from scratch table side), beef croquetas made from gofio, and a delicious pork thing served on a ceramic pig. The pork was the most tender I've ever had. For pudding we had a chocolate and coconut dessert with a gofio biscuit all in the shape of tenerife with a dyed blue coconut and vanilla custard sea poured around it. An absolutely delicious last bite of the holiday!

After dinner and we just walked home and tried to get to sleep before out 330am alarm.

All in all an absolutely wonderful holiday in an amazing location with a super air bnb.
