La Palma, the city of palms, was todays port. We arrive 6 am to bright sunshine and small breezes. This is Sunday so many of the stores are closed. I found it sad that also many of the churches are closes...hmmm. We toured the Belver castle, drove the many seaside beaches that Mallorca is known for.

We entered the Bull ring...no bull, except maybe what you read here on this page:) We toured a Mallorca pearl store and enjoyed a rest stop. The hotels close for the winter...unlike the US who offer deals in the winter. So the beach walks, bars, resturants close also. It is a place people come when its warm. Strange eerie silence. Beautiful day and great memory.
