Last days in Mallorca and the Ferry Ride to Barcelona, Spain
Our last two days on Mallorca were spent in Palma, the capital city. It’s a modern city with every convenience you would expect anywhere, a lot of wealth, thousands of yachts in the harbor, and ancient buildings and cobblestone streets in the midst of…
Read MoreCala Figuera, Mallorca, Spain
Calla Figuera is in the southeast of Mallorca. It’s a tiny town that is sleepy throughout the year and swells with tourists (mostly German) in the Summer months. It’s most notable and spectacular features are the inlets from the sea filled with crystal clear blue water and…

Jamie really wanted to have a fish “pedicure” and I am not one to deny people pleasure. I was curious about it myself, so despite the ridiculous price, we tried it. Essentially, you put your stinky feet in a tank of “Garra Rufa” fish…
