PALMA ON THE GROUND FLY TO PALMA MALLORCA FROM 26 DESTINATIONS, INCLUDING ALICANTE | DÜSSELDORF (WEEZE) | MANCHESTER | VISIT WWW.RYANAIR.COM FOR MORE INFORMATION GET THE VIBE AN ENDURING FAVOURITE MEMORY WORKS IN MYSTERIOUS WAYS. As the plane swoops over the sea on the approach to Palma airport, it’s the memory of a particularly amazing hamburger that catapults me back in time. That burger was cooked by a guy called Miguel in a bar in Cala Millor, and I must have been fi ve when I sank my teeth into it. A few years on from that, I remember walking into a cafe in Alcudia, in the north of the island, phrasebook in hand, and shyly ordering a cola in Spanish for the fi rst time. Exploring alone and talking to people in a different language seemed impossibly exciting. Thinking about it, Mallorca was probably where I caught the travel bug. If you grew up in northern Europe in the 1970s or 1980s then the chances are that you, too, might have already had some holiday adventures in Mallorca. It was tourism that slowly transformed Mallorca into one of the richest parts of Spain. With the coming of democracy, Spaniards moved to work here from other parts of the country, and the city of Palma became ever cleaner and more modern. Families began to book package tours here because it was cheap, beautiful and offered guaranteed sun. It was and is a wonderful place to bring your children, who’ll be doted on by all and sundry. In Spanish culture, children are venerated. I’ve got stacks of memories of waiters and local women fussing over me and my brother. No wonder we were always desperate to go to Mallorca. In those days, people used to bypass Palma for the costas; today Palma is the focal point of the island. New bars, excellent restaurants and boutique hotels all lure short break visitors to the capital, and the new metro line looks suitably shiny and futuristic. But it’s still easy to stumble across the island’s historic riches, such as Bellver Castle, the Cathedral and the quaint streets of the Born district. As ever, on Palma’s fringes you’ll fi nd beautiful beaches, mountains and a hidden side to the island. Take the old train up to Sóller and see yachts stacked up in the harbour and villas dotted around the bay. Now the stars come here: Paris Hilton, Woody Allen, Boris Becker – they’re all fans of Mallorca. Michael Douglas owns a house here. It’s getting a bit jet-set. I wonder if Miguel still cooks those burgers in Cala Millor? 42 WWW.RYANAIRMAG.COM quaint expectations Navigating Palma’s historic streets
