Hello Roger, and thank you for all your patience and advice to the many questioners! Here's a new one for you - we'd like to visit the Jardines de Alfabia near Bunyola and I'm wondering if it's worth combining with the train (one way) or not, and, if so, where to go for lunch (we're vegetarian, no fish).

 

We're in Palma on a Sunday in late September, 0800-1730. We're British and speak a bit of Spanish, so public transport/tourist-friendly cafes isn't an issue. 

 

- Is the most scenic bit of the train between Bunyola and Soller? And are the views very different to the 204 bus route?

- Is Bunyola big enough to find a nice café for lunch on a Sunday or should we aim for Soller or return to Palma? 

- Could we buy a Soller-Palma train ticket at Bunyola station (to save time)?

 

Current thoughts are get the bus 204 from Palma about 9am to the gardens (it open at 930). Then bus to Soller for lunch/after lunch, and train Soller to Palma 1400-1500.

 

 

 

Hi

Is my choice good  veggie options. 

Then get Train back to Palma .

Train tickets  will have to be bought  in Soller.

This should  be no problem  at 14.00.

Hello Roger,

I know answer is probably in the previous 29 pages... but sake of time, only in port for total 6 hrs next week. Son in reality max of 4 1/2, We would like a beach day and would like to visit Balneario Illetas. That being said, how long is taxi to beach and how much. And rather than have to take bus back if no available taxis. Would beach bar call to hail us a cab?

This is one the most informative chains that I've seen... Thankx and keep up the good work!

Hi,

 It's  a 15 min taxi ride from the port

and yes the beach bar will call you a taxi back to the port. 

any problems call  an Uber.
