| Scenic drives - by John Kulawy from Connecticut USA |
| Was in Palma from Apr 25th to May 10th.The whole island is senic and great to drive.never seen any radar traps and everyone drove pretty fast. Drivers are courteous and will move out of the left lane if faster vehicles approach. Much better drivers than in the USA. |
