How Expensive is Mallorca? Spanish Island in the Mediterranean

[@mlwtennessee322]

Thank you for taking me all over the world, Gabriel! As of yesterday, I've watched every single video you've ever made. I can't begin to tell you how much enjoyment your videos have given me. Keep right on doing what you do!

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Wow, that's amazing. By the way I've been planning to make a playlist of all my videos in order, which would make it easier to watch them all. Thanks a lot for watching and congrats.

Great, thanks for subbing.

[@neptunespirit]

you arrived in the high season so the prices are high, if you came in mar, april, may, june, sep,t okt, nov, you can have 7 days hotel, inclusive flight 3 -4 hours, and maybe food on hotel included, for just 200 dollars...

[@johnvijlbrief896]

I would like to compliment you on your very informative video clips and entertaining manner of speaking. I to go to Mallorca soon and saw your video full of tips. You know how to give your viewers the right kind of tips! I'm going to watch more of your video clips! Keep it up, dude!

[@gladyrose21]

Thanks Gabriel for another great video. Beautiful island. Thanks for filming the musician,growing up in the Dominican Republic i used to sing that song with my mom while we were doing our house work,I enjoy watching the video and that part brought tears to my eyes.

[@walterwhite3143]

Great video again brother! Peace from UK ✌🏻

[@davidcrow6234]

Great video, Gabriel! I've been wanting to do the Cami de Cavalls for years - excited to see what it's like on Menorca. Btw, a good option for a bit cooler temps but still beautiful beaches, towns, and mountain hiking is going to the north of Spain. There are camping grounds just outside of the cities like San Sebastian, Zarautz, Santander, plenty of others (all within walking distance) and the Camino del norte goes along the cost and is absolutely beautiful. Good travels!

[@dereka3341]

Gabriel, fan from Kentucky here. Mallorca is where Rafael Nadal lives. If you are a tennis fan, you should see his tennis school, somewhere on the island.

[@christinechico5293]

Thank you for such informative videos. You share the reality of travel. i.e. delays, missed connecting flights along with the true expense once you arrive. I especially enjoy seeing locations I've yet to visit! Safe travels! P.S. So. Cal in da house! ✌️🤙

[@QueenBee-mk8xm]

Nice to see Cala Major. Cala Major beach is very pretty and worth visiting, but often packed from Easter til the end of the summer. Completely packed in summer months like July and August.

[@susanvp4685]

All of your videos are very interesting. I was in Palma 3 weeks ago so neat to see some familiar places. Happy travelling. Cheers from Ottawa🇨🇦

Great video Gabe again. Love that you captured the fellow with the accordion playing my favorite song “la vie en rose”

[@neilfromcork]

If you can't get to Menorca for the hiking, I recommend you try out the trails in Mallorca. A good 3 day hike would be Valdemossa to Deia to Soller to Lluc. For a really offbeat hotel experience try out the monastery at Lluc.

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Yeah I'll think about it. I kept seeing the trailheads the past two days while driving around the mountains, looks pretty sweet.

[@d.m.messick]

Indeed...I need to visit the Balearic Islands. I’ve been all around Espana from A Coruna to Madrid to Valencia....Barcelona to Granada. But somehow missed these islands 🌴. Keep up the adventures!

This made me very nostalgic, my first real trip and this was 2015, did not expect you to be near cala mayor beach cz that’s where we stayed so that was really nice to watch :)

Well done Gabriel for all your good work, I am a new U.K subscriber and am working through all your content, which is a joy!

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Awesome, glad you're enjoying the vids.

[@outolempinimi5165]

If you are looking something cheap to travel in Spain you might want to give Camino de Santiago a try. Accommodation in hostels and sometimes in monasteries is generally very affordable and of course it’s a good way to get outdoors exercise (sometimes a bit too much and some resting days are probably called for). Another magnificent place for spectacular views in Spain is Gran Canaria, but definitely not the cheapest.

[@hermenegildoc3933]

Yeah, it is usually cheap except Fromista

[@marybellehenriquez6389]

I was in Mallorca like 2 months ago! I stayed in Santa Ponsa, very beautiful, you should go check it out!

[@tennysonfordblackbird2087]

Great video and when we go to the islands we usuall find them quite exspensive apart from beer and wine.

[@piketroy4576]

Interesting, I lived in ABQ 10 years & I was in Palma De Mallorca, for 4 days, many years ago. Loved it there. Well, both places.

[@hopper990]

It’s been a while since I’ve commented. Still digging the videos.

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Cool man, glad to hear it James, glad you're still on board with the neverending adventure.

[@evehosgood]

Alcudia is lovely ☺ Been many times, it will be packed with tourists this time of year though. I'm looking forward to seeing the island of Menorca

[@EvanTateMusic]

Mallorca is a fascinating place. I've been there 4 times over the past few years, admittedly spending more time in Can Picafort (Alcudia Bay), and once in Platja de Palma (Palma Beach) / Arenal. Palma is not really named after Palm trees because those tree are actually not native to Mallorca. They are imported. Mallorca has been a place for tourism since ancient times.

[@NamaskarShanti]

Hola!!! Great travel Vlogs Gabe!!! So practical and " everyday" travel experiences. Unlike ...some of other vloggges on here with their " high-end" "business class travel".... that 99% of us can't afford!! Great to see you still have that shirt ( Shiva?) you picked up in India... Safe travels amigo :)

[@voxley19]

Great video Gabriel. I assume you know tha the Balearic Islands are a very popular holiday destination for British and German tourists- that's why accommodation is so expensive as you've gone there in high season. It will probably get even more expensive in late July and August as you've seen with the motorcycle rentals. This is also why there are so many restaurants- I suspect that the reason the food prices are so reasonable is that there is stiff competition. Hope you get some good hiking on the Balearics.

[@Sophia1a1]

That pool alone is amazing

[@shi186]

Very helpful video! I don't know how it showed up in my feed as I was not subscribed to the channel (I am now) but I'm glad it did because I'm going to Mallorca next month and I will definitely visit Palma! Thanks a lot for the advise, this is a great channel!

Fascinating. I've watched pretty much all of your videos and this is the first place you've gone to that I haven't heard of! Is this your third time to Spain now? It's got to be getting up there with your most-visited countries.

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Yes, third time. I've been to India, Greece and Thailand more times.

[@wilfredotorres6628]

Hi Gabriel, when your eating out you must try the octopus and Pork or ham maybe the best tasting in the world. Eating is definitely an experience in Spain, enjoy to your hearts content.

[@unklemunky8992]

Nice scene in that little dorm eh? Reminded me of 2AC on Indian Railways😂 The supermercado was a bit overpriced but that's the area. When you get out of Palma, as with anywhere in the world, the small town square markets will see you right for amazing bread, good oil, olives, cheese & fresh fruit-it'll be pretty cheap to feed yourself as opposed to restaurants etc. Man, I love the grub in that part of the world!

[@bornborno2572]

Thanks for another great video. I'm sure you will love the lake district in northern Italy if you get a chance someday!

[@ojosazules8828]

28:00 Ha, in some Spanish cities you can get a tapas like that for free just for buying a Caña😉...also, you really don't have to tip in Spain, most Spanish don't...it rarely goes to the waiting staff and is not expected by them, only tourists tip who are used to US culture etc..so save yourself 10% per meal 😉

[@TheMikygaga]

That's not completely true. It depends of the spanish person that you ask! I always tip!

[@samdefore2692]

Tipping culture is ridiculous in Canada and the US, you are expected to tip for every service, min15% on meals even if the food was crappy or the service. When I was in Australia they don't tip, I don't remember if I tipped when I visted England. In Europe, I guess it depends where most don't tip but many restaurants charge a gratitude if you eat there, ang right if you tip (with a credit card especially) it just goes to the place and not the staff.

[@stevecook706]

You must visit Palma, it's very nice! I've been a few times. You should also get down to Malta, its amazing with it's mix of English and Italian feel! I am there again in September.

Avellanas are hazle nuts. Almonds are almendras, I believe. Camino is indeed interesting. It is a pilgrim route starting from Italy, France or Portugal up to the Portugese border of Spain. Most people walk it.

[@bobjackson4720]

I went there in the late sixties. At that time the English tourist was king. Fish and Chips, roast beef & champagne cocktails were everywhere. Used to be dirt cheap. Stayed in Arenal. The off season long weekend break total cost 18 pounds (including flights). At the time the streets were full of an overwhelming smell of olive oil.

[@chall2258]

Thanks for the vlog. I really enjoyed it seeing an authentic vlog. I was thinking of visiting here, but it looks too dumpy for me. I’m going to head back to the south of France. It’s more my style.

The El Arenal and the Cala Ratyada areas are two of the most notorious party beach areas in Europe. I know it's not your scene at all but if you are in the area you might want to check it out just out of curiousity. And these areas are also good for a nice variety of cheap food.

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Yes, see my other videos from Mallorca: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n3jOmn2PormsrZI

[@rurre]

In addition that you only walked along 3 streets and straight ahead, you didn´t explore Palma. You can not say how expensive it is only going to the touristic places and might explored the "workers places" as Es Forti or Son Forteza. And as well, 26:07 you say that´s the king and queen residence in Majorca. Right, but in 14 century, mate. Olé tus cojones.

[@SisterSherryDoingStuff]

totally agree regarding the hideous modern art next to a huge historical fort. Palma appears to be a gorgeous city!

Heh, this was my first family vacation, back in -95. I remember three things: The arcade games, the amazing paella we had one night, and a quote in botched English from my dad that me and my brother still find hilarious. PS Tapas is probably the last thing to get on a budget.

Yeah that's the other reason I decided to wait on walking the Cami de Cavalls on Menorca. I think it would be a lot more enjoyable, especially at the beaches, with less people there. Plus cooler temps. I look forward to doing it at the right time. Hola from Barcelona!

Some great shots, this is a little nostalgic for me, I was in Palma back in 1976, I spent 2 weeks there with the US Navy,out of all the places I been too, Palma was the best, I even met a girl there on my first day, we hung out the whole two weeks, she was a dream girl , from Palma, very beautiful and full of life, it broke my heart to leave her, we wrote back and forth for a while but the time and distance at that time was just to great, I always regretted not going back for her, i guess it was not meant in this life, but if I had a time machine, I would return to that time and place and look her up.

If you're still in Palma pay the Cathedral and Castle a visit. Fantastic architecture and history

Very informative video; I appreciate your time as always. .... I’ve watched MANY of your videos but rarely comment, BUT I have a question: IF YOU HAD TO PICK, WHAT WOULD BE YOUR TOP 3 DESTINATIONS IN WHICH YOU COULD SPEND 6+ MONTHS, WHAT WOULD THEY BE CONSIDERING FRIENDLY PEOPLE, SUNNY, WARM WEATHER WITH LIMITED RAIN, AND NOT EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE? .... I LOVE Aruba. Been there 5x. I REALLY want to go back, but is there anyplace like Aruba you’d recommend? Would ARUBA be in your top5? THANKS SO MUCH 🌴👍🏼🌴

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

The best place that fits what you're looking for is Greece. It's cheaper than Mallorca and you can find less touristy islands. I like the Greek islands a lot more than Aruba or the other Dutch islands I visited. Also Thailand is a good choice of course.

[@46monkeyes]

[@cmac6992]

Hi Gabriel! Do you have an opportunity to see all of your comments on previous videos? I'll leave this here as well just in case. I commented on your Montreal one that you must add Acadia National Park in Maine end of September to mid October to see peak foliage and the rugged coastline. The weather is the best here then, dry, warm days and no bugs and cool nights! Also Mt Katahdin here in Maine(the head or start depending where you start!) as part of an Appalachian trail series is another idea.
