October in Mallorca

As tomorrow is the day of Spain (12/10) I thought now would be the perfect time to suggest more sights and attractions of Palma; that is if you have some energy left after the Oktoberfest, which is on until 14th at Santa Ponsa: http://www.seemallorca.com/events/calendar/oktoberfest-palma-de-mallorca.html
October is a splendid time to visit Mallorca, the streets won`t be crowded and the prices are lower. With this in mind this section of the blog will be about the relaxing things to in Mallorca. The temperature in October is usually between 24c and 13 c ; with today recording 22c.

Musuems
Here are a few details about two museums I think should not be missed on a visit to Mallorca. Both are centrally located and if you happen to catch one of the 11 days when it rains in Palma, Mallorca then dive right into one of these to have a blast:

Museo de muñecas
The museum of dolls is sweet and charming and well worth a visit for a unique experience, this unusual museum offers a fun and unforgettable array of dolls from the past up until the present.

Museo de Mallorca

 Housed in the sixteenth century mansion of Counts Amayari the 3 storey building features gothic windows and baroque balconies. The spectacular mansion showcases the Arabic, Greco – Punic and Roman collections of artifacts. A jewel in the Mallorca crown this museum will happily occupy you for an afternoon with its delightful treasures.

The infamous Corte de Ingles, which is Spain`s answer to House of Frasier, has two stores in Palma de Mallorca so you can while-a-way the hours browsing the goods on offer. The store on Avenida de Alexandre Rossello even offers a food court, for exact location please visit http://www.elcorteingles.es

For the more architecturally conscious there is the Rialto Living on Carrer de Sant Feliu , just off Passieg de born. The shop was originally the Theatre Rialto which was built in 1928 and was converted in 2007. With a range of fashion, books, art & design and gifts to choose from you may want to take full advantage of the cafes to relax and watch the world go by, while deciding on your next purchase or sight to be seen…

Beaches
For the ultimate relaxation take to the beautiful beaches of Mallorca, now the multitude of tourists have gone, you can delight in the golden sand, glistening waters and elbow room! The beaches and warm water are a major draw for all.  You may wish to take a dip in the waters, partake in some fishing, or even have a snorkel to discover the unique marine life off the coast of Mallorca. The beaches are a charming in the day but should also be seen at evening time with the subtle light make for a sublime view. So stroll down the Avinguda d`Antoni Maura towards the Park de la Mar and enjoy the splendid view…..
