Valencia to Mallorca - Catalonia Majorica Hotel
This morning we ventured into the more downtown/commercial area of Valencia and we were very pleasantly surprised. Beautiful, incredible buildings and squares, lots of shops, a real European buzz without the tourist shtick.
We then went back to collect our suitcases and head for the airport to fly to Mallorca. We had never planned on flying as K had thought it was just a short ferry ride away, but when we finally decided to look into it the ferry was very expensive and took all night! The plane from Valencia to Mallorca was quite cheap and only took an hour, so a much better option.
At Valencia airport we were both given a major shakedown, K was given the clothed body search which included the inside band back and front of her pants plus having to take the chap stick put of her pocket and roll it out to prove its inner workings. M had his backpack totally (or so they thought) emptied and every little thing examined, but as normal they missed a pocket. Incredibly they found nothing, except that we are two boring travellers who have travelled enough to know what we are permitted to carry on!

Our hotel is high up overlooking the huge marina with more yachts, boats and cruise ships than we have ever seen - beautiful view. Luckily the hotel has a funicular to transport you to near the bottom of the hill near the marina.
After walking the foreshore & general area we came across what the owner said was "the only authentic New Orleans restaurant in Spain". Yum it was!! Finally decent food with spice and taste - best meal so far!!
