Palma de Mallorca, climbing mountains






Third day in Mallorca, since this is a long weekend, we decided to check out Palma. First thing in the morning we went to a market in a little town near Palma by train. It was not anything too special, but it is always fun to barter with people and they like to barter there so it is great. After that we wanted to check out some of the festivities for the Mallorca Day. There was supposed to be a human tower, but the newspaper was wrong and it was the previous day. We chilled and watched some people run a 5K and I just do not understand why people do that because no one looks happy when they run lol

The second picture is of the Cathedral of Palma. It is a pretty impressive building, especially with the fountain on the one side.

After the cathedral, we went towards the castle up on a hill. We had to walk a long way and boy was it a climb up the mountain to that castle. The top picture is Phil, Austin and I on our way to the castle by the port. The third is the incredible view from the top of the castle.

The last picture is my favorite picture of this trip so far. The sunsets were amazing every night, but so much more so this night. Phil had a sunset setting on his camera that conveyed exactly what we saw that night, and using a timer took this great photo.
