Creator's Key Takeaways

We're on the uh shuttle. Look at that. We got the big cruise ship behind us.

Should have purchased those tickets in advance. But we're going to um walk through down to the uh one of the main uh plazas.

This beach seems very nice. Very quiet today. I thought it'd be busier Saturday.

We had a great day in Palma de Mayora.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Purchase train tickets in advance to avoid missing the historic train to Sóller.
Consider taking the MSC shuttle from the cruise port to the center of town for convenience.
Visit Palmanova Beach for a relaxing afternoon with restaurants and bars nearby.

En el vlog de hoy tomamos el autobús lanzadera (shuttle) de MSC desde el puerto, caminamos por la zona de la catedral y la Plaça Mayor, intentamos (sin éxito) tomar el tren histórico a Sóller, y luego cambiamos de plan para disfrutar de un día de playa en Palmanova, con hidropedal con tobogán para los niños. Si visitas Palma en un crucero por el Mediterráneo y quieres explorar por tu cuenta sin excursión del barco, este video te muestra de forma realista: - Cómo funciona el shuttle del crucero vs caminar desde el puerto - Cómo es la zona de la catedral y el centro histórico - Por qué conviene comprar los boletos del tren a Sóller con anticipación - Ir en taxi/Uber a Palmanova para un día de playa más tranquilo - Alquilar patines de agua con tobogán y disfrutar del mar poco profundo - Regresar al barco para cerrar el día en el champagne bar Somos una familia de cinco que ama los cruceros y explorar los puertos por libre. Si te gusta este tipo de contenido, revisa también nuestras guías de puertos del Mediterráneo y nuestra serie de la Riviera Mexicana en el canal. 👉 ¿Vas a hacer este puerto pronto? Cuéntanos en los comentarios en qué barco viajas y si Palma está en tu itinerario.
