Palma de Mallorca, Spain 

Hi Ruairidh another great video l look forward to seeing them as l have not been over this year with everything going on and that's a shopping centre in placa major l have been passing it for years always thought it took you down to bus station keep up great work and roll on next year

@@williamsmart5865 William! Thanks for watching and enjoying... Truly horrendous experience that "shopping centre". Been a hell-hole for YEARS. Embarrassing. Have a great weekend, roll on 2021!

I sweat for my art, Niamh! (it was baking when I filmed most of this... I'm too pale for filming in these conditions lol!)

Boriss! Thanks for the comment. Spain awaits you! Also, where in Bosnia are you from? I've been around a lot of the country. Love it very much.

Fantastic, James! Let me know how you get on.

Gavin! Cheers mate, next part coming soon. Have a great weekend (I'm personally quite keen to have a drink after a long week in the gym trying to shift some of the COVID lockdown kilos... brutal)

Thx for watching Michael!

Merlin! Thankya thankya! What can I say: it's the law in Spain to drink a beer regularly ;)

Brian! Taken me a while to get round to responding... Are you there now? Hope you have/are having/had a great trip!

Thx Sindy!

Thank you!!

You are toooooooooo kind :D

Dennis! Thanks very much :D Have a great weekend...

Alfredo! Thanks so much, glad you're enjoying them! Haha, I've got a few mates on boats, the matcha tea one was inspired by a true story... NUTS. Take care - the weekend is here!

Dennis! Very kind 😁

Hope you're having a blast! Enjoy...

Thanks June! Next one coming soon :D

Mike, sorry for the delayed reaction! Wow, would have loved to have seen it back then in the swinging 80's!

Thanks so much! Your comments were going to spam (!?) so sorry for the late reply. Yes! The supermarket from the 1980's trapped in the mall from hell from the 1970's! Truly a wonderful experience for all involved haha!

Bon appetite

I’m glad someone finds me funny! 🥹😂

THANKS!

Woah! Hey mate! Just saw this. Thanks so much 🥹🥹🥹 Second Super ever! I’ll take her for a tinnie of something crap somewhere and spend the rest on fried shite in Magaluf! Cheers pal and cheers to your wife for twisting your arm!!! Seriously, beyond the call of duty. Thanks so much…

Andrej, sorry for the slow response. Thanks!!

Thank you!!

Thank you for appreciating my appalling humour.

Robert! Cheers mate, glad you enjoyed. Cathedral bar would be a welcome addition haha! Weather still nice, couple of stormy days, but blue skies today. If I can get my arse in gear I'll go make a video. Have a great Saturday with a pint or two of something tasty... Cheers!

James, sorry for slow reply. How was the trip?

@@RuairidhMason thanks Ruairidh. Yes a lovely town. Went to Nano cycles but they had run out on the Sunday of bikes so walked along the coast....also Soller train and to the Port which is rather nice. Would like to go back. Some random pop/rock in Palma was playing on the Sunday by the catherdral which was quite cool 👍

@@RuairidhMason and don't worry on reply, the videos are good enough. Just wanted to say my appreciation. Thank you

Thank you Mrs Smith! XX

Muriel! Thanks so much, really glad you enjoy the vids... What was it like living over that side of the island? I have to admit my dream is to disappear into the more remote Mallorca, never to be seen again! (except on RU-vid that is haha).

Thank you, Hare!! 🤣🤣

Hey! Palma's a beautiful city with lots to do. I highly recommend a visit!

Thank you!

Why thankya sir!

Awesome, Rico! Thanks for watching... Jealous! NYC, what a place :D

Haha, thx. Channel is for fun, so no big deal about the views!

In Palma? La Rosa!! 100%. Other options: La Gloria (Portixol) and La Chica (Santa Catalina). Our favourite is La Rosa though, hands down.

Thanks for the recommendations, the night is young and we got crossed up in the water fight between Montague and Capuletesque soo …. WET ? ? Great atmosphere ……

😂😂😂

THX!!

Bahar! Exactamente! Un sitio muy bonito :D

Vamossss

Beunas diassss

Pam! You're too kind [blushing]. I do not do tours of Palma, but I did, in another life, do comedy / history tours of Edinburgh!

Well you should still be up there on stage! We are visiting Palma September 15th for about a week.. coming from Palm Springs. Thanks for the great laughs and super tips! Keep it up👍😂😂😂…. Seriously…watched your videos several times! Shared with travel buddies… 🤣🤣

And we are staying in the old town area.. any favorite bars or restaurants? Cheers!

@@321hair Essential: Reserve a table with good adavnce notice (couple of weeks) at La Rosa Vermuteria, dinner or lunch. We go there about twice a week when we're in town. Also, you must try a "vermut de grifo" (vermouth on tap). It's the done thing there and a great aperitivo. Everything on the menu is fantastic, you can't go wrong, and it's average priced. We also love just hanging out in the bar area there (where you can also eat), but you need to go at a weird time - 4 or 5pm - otherwise it's super busy. For a drink we also love Bar Flexas, the terrace at Gibson Bar, Assaona down at the beach for sunset (bit pricey, but lovely vibe in summer)... and also, check out Santa Catalina market on a Saturday around 12:30/1pm. Good atmosphere, eating, drinking, etc!

Hey! Thx. They were from a small company called 'My Uncle' in Palma / Ibiza... but it seems they don't have a website or instagram anymore?!

@@RuairidhMason thank you.

You're the one laughing!! I knew there had to be someone ;)

Chris! So glad you're both enjoying the channel... makes all the work very worth while. I think there's WAY too much BS in the "travel" genre online (RU-vid, Instagram). I very much appreciate an honest blog post or recommendation when I'm on foreign soil - trying to do that, without being overly sarcastic / daft / mean for the sake of it, and being entertaining... still trying to find my travel vlog legs! I'll get my groove over time, certainly not going anywhere. RU-vid is the present and future... And yes, the "graff" is pretty rough here. Local government don't really understand how to deal with that stuff (same like skating and all that street youth culture)... they just keep painting over it - i.e. creating a blank canvas for the next dude. Give the kids a dedicated space to paint, encourage their creativity / spray can workshops, etc, but tell them that it all goes away if unless they keep it in their "space". It would save the local council a fortune and would create a pretty exciting urban gallery... Just an idea, but they've done it in Vegas years ago, where I used to live, and it worked amazingly well. Tagging died very quickly in the Downtown area... Have a great weekend, folks! Drink too much! (Sorry... "don't"!... forgot that bit).

@@RuairidhMason I agree what you say, and that's a great idea about the graffiti wall. I'm actually blown away by the artistry and creativity of some of the scrawls, I even have a couple of books on it. Just those 'tags' plastered over any spare bit of wall or door or whatever really let a place down and makes it look uncared for. I hope when all this COVID nonsense has died down, Ajuntamento de Palma de Mallorca can invest a little to tidy this beautiful city up! Stay safe mate!

@@chrislox1 Yeah, tagging is a pretty awful practice, ruins these lovely old streets. I have a lot of ideas for Palma, and that bloody shopping centre too! Hopefully they don't just make it more parking... Have a good one mate!

It's a cracking city - love it.

what about Greece@@RuairidhMason

Maria, you're too kind. I spent literally minutes writing these jokes ;)

It should be quite cold and raining!

I WISH $$$$ ;)

You got me! I’m Chinese!

Hey Charles, I’ve seen quite a few places around Palma renting e-scooters and bikes, etc. I had an awesome time on my loaned Urban Drivestyle bike though and would massively recommend. I believe they rent out of Playa de Palma, so not in the city. But, perhaps there is an agent or company handling them in Palma. Shoot them a message and ask. Great fun transport and built like a tank!

​@@RuairidhMason I will check with them, seems like a lot of fun. Thanks for the videos! I really enjoyed them.

@@charlesromney Thanks for watching! Sorry I couldn't be more helpful with specific companies... There are multiple in Palma though, renting e-scooters and e-bicycles. Enjoy the trip!!

Lennox! Thx for the feedback! I'll take it into consideration in the future. Take care mate!

I believe FB is quite good - Mallorca Expats and also meetup.com:\ www.meetup.com/es-ES/mallorca-international-friends-group/

The weather should be very nice towards the end of March. Not beach weather (it gets hot at the end of May) but very nice for walking and seeing the city. Often t-shirt weather in March/April. A great time to visit (also because there aren't many tourists yet)

@@RuairidhMason thank you in looking to book a 5 day trip there. Everywhere else seems expensive for kids half term but this place seems to be still okay price for some reason 🙂

Eward! Thanks for the comment... TBH, the place is pretty dead. Palma is verging on ghost town-y, and there are a lot of business closures. Sad to see it this way, and even more sadly we're not even close to winter yet. It's going to get way worse before it gets better here.

Ruairidh Mason Very sad to hear, hope next year will set everything to normal again.

Haha, where?!
