We left on 9/8/21 and had a nice flight from Atlanta to Madrid, but the Madrid airport was a little crazy because we had to go from Terminal 1 to Terminal 4 and you have to leave the airport and travel several miles to get to it. Then we had to switch to Iberia airlines (who sets a new standard for slowness) but eventually we got our boarding passes and through security and then found out we where assigned to gate “HJK”, which means that you stand close to a departure board and 45 min before you depart your gates pops up, but we finally got to the correct gate and landed in Mallorca so all is well.
Spain has their act together regarding the Covid epidemic, everyone has no problem wearing a mask indoors or on transportation services. When you arrive they check your passport and QR code and your good to go, no one has asked for our CDC vaccination card yet.
The weather is beautiful and the Cathedral of Palma is awesome. The Mallorca wines are impressive and so is the seafood!
Today we moved to Port de Soller and plan on five days of enjoying the beach and hiking. I may even do a scuba diving afternoon excursion later this week. Overall the trip is going well and Spain is very open to vaccinated Americans who are willing to wear a mask when indoors.
