Day 2 - Barcelona to Mallorca

After panicking that we’d missed our flight 
because my watch hadn’t updated to Spanish time we had 2 1/2 hrs to get to our flight to Mallorca. An English passenger we spoke to checked his bags all the way through to Mallorca even though we were on Emirates and it’s a Vueling (pronounced Welling) flight to Mallorca. Interesting. 

Picked up bags. Breezed through passport control with vax certificate and the SpTH (Spanish health form) in record time. Queued to get through domestic security all up under an hour from actually landing. 

The plane to Mallorca left 20 mins before scheduled departure time! Took shuttle bus which dropped us at the hotel door.

Typical stone farm house on the way to Port de Pollenca.

Staying at Hotel Uyal, Port de Pollenca. Front sea view with a balcony. It’s lovely and quiet. Dinner at Restaurant Siurell, 5 mins walk from the hotel along a lovely waterfront promenade. I had sea bream (some bones, unfortunately, but I think that is typical of Europe). Ronnie had exceptionally good olives to start and very tender grilled calamari. 
View from our balcony. 
Walked 6.1 km today.
