Secret Mallorca | Vanlife Spain

Secret Mallorca | Vanlife Spain
In this van life video, we explore the lesser-known spots on the island. We always thought of Mallorca as just beach resorts so we explore the Spanish island in search of a variety of landscapes. This video is a Mallorca travel guide for some of the best nature spots on the island. Our personal favorites were Sa Colabra & Boquer Valley.

I am Mallorcan, and I thank the tourists who come to enjoy the corners of my island, Mallorca really is not known since it is full of fabulous corners and also has culture and typical foods different from those of the rest of Spain, and especially you I appreciate that you show some of those corners and not the crowded spaces that give Mallorca a bad name as a destination for drunkenness. Mallorca is not one but many. The Balearic Islands in general are still unknown. and also in low season is when it is most enjoyed.

[@emilymaulion5701]

Hi, I'll be coming off season for a week, pretty soon to drive around Mallorca, and take life as it comes ;-) ... do you have any recommendations for "hidden" corners, not well known but gorgeous ? Everything but the crowded places ! Thank you very much in advance !

[@gordonjenkinson460]

I totally agree with you,however I do appreciate the people who stay in accommodation and hire cars etc, putting money into the island and creating jobs.

[@captaindave47]

Yes Mallorca is a magical island,I went there for a five day trip and stayed for over 20 years.

[@lostamonglocals5382]

😂that's awesome

[@scienceownsimposters2142]

It sure is.Mallorca is a very special place & soon humanity will discover what Mallorca really is because the truth is coming out.The truth will set us free so you can imagine what they didnt teach us in school:The truth/real history.

[@philpriest4480]

Yes love northern Mallorca. The train from Palma to Soller through the mountains is epic.

[@IanTed]

The train from Palma to Soller is amazing, such a stunning island, especially the north west.

[@peggymurphy2783]

Buddy coming up the mountain on “roller blades” was actually on roller skis, they are a form of dry land trading for Nordic skiers. People use them to train for cross country skiing when there is no snow.

[@luke125]

Emma is definitely not overrated. She’s gorgeous. Mallorca is pretty too.

[@evitavanduin6914]

Haha the guy was ‘skiing’, they do it here in Norway all summer to stay in shape for the winter cross country skiing season. After living here for a year, it still looks funny 😂

[@steviec8370]

Yep I remember going the Mallorca in the early 1990's with my mate on a lads holiday (think we were both 18). I was expecting what is on offer on the Spanish mainland. We stayed in Santa Ponsa which was as expected....but once we explored the island it became apparent. One of the most naturally beautiful spots in all of Europe. The north west coast the pinnacle for me. Stunning

[@aliciabrown7890]

Beautiful place, thanks for showing us.

[@fattinamia]

Gosh I'm so glad I found you guys. I need good tips for Mallorca as I only have a few days, and I had to suffer through several videos of influencers taking selfies and sipping wine, to the point that I was wondering if there's any normal people travelling here anymore. You made my day.

[@pile333]

Lovely Mallorca. A toasty warm trip to escape the cold of winter for a bit.

[@tammymahon5571]

Watching you guys today is wonderful, the energy and joy you are experiencing from life is brilliant to see. I have been following you for a couple of years now and I remember when you were struggling with depression. You have turned your lives around.

[@ogiecruz8063]

To whoever invented the drone... Thank you. Can now really see the awesomeness of nature from above

[@000caro555]

Thank you for showing us the beautiful side of Majorca. X 😍

[@alexj9603]

The perfect video to watch while the first snow is falling outside.

[@michaelwoods7771]

I love those natural beauties. gorgeous Emma

[@danbissett]

Great insight , your videos are chill.

[@rebeccarendle3706]

Totally agree. I never wanted to visit due to the drunk English German beach party resorts. Then we went. Stayed in a small beach town on the SE coast and drove around and drove inland and to the north coast..stunning. You get the same hair pin bends on the high Alpine roads from Austria to Italy. That guy was on grass slope skis. Cala sa calobra beach is so busy in summer with thousands of tourists coming in on boats as well as some coming your route. You were lucky.

[@diwarburton5369]

You make it look very appealing. I thought it was hilarious when you were talking about the riffraff.

[@joselolytrotamundos]

We are very happy that you liked our island. Greetings! 💞

[@kathymccauley439]

You two are wonderful tour guides.

[@TomCro2022]

Wonderful video ...... Congratulations to the author. Once again, all credit to the author of the video and greetings from Zagreb Croatia

[@MallorcaUnderTheSun]

Great to hear your adventure here on my island! And so lovely you got out into the mountains! Especially interesting what you thought about Deia! It becomes packed in the summer with A-list celebs and crazy tourism! I would definitely recommend coming back and trying some more hiking. I've lived here for 16 years, and travelled and lived in so many other places around the world and Mallorca has the perfect blend of everything! Especially the weather!

[@ceooflonelinessinc.267]

I like your humour

[@alancolley9937]

Hands down the best travel blogs You two are truly so so good to watch Thank you for sharing

[@kb104]

many happy memories of Mallorca, especially Sa calobra and the torrent behind it, thanks

[@fangsbites]

“We had some sh!t to do…” That is the best way to say it. And this video is totally awesome. Mallorca looks so gorgeous. Great job once again!

[@mickeqvist]

People doing cross-country skiing in the winter, usually train in the summer with those 'skis-on-wheels' :-)

[@jamiel264]

That guy was rollerskiing!! I rollerski for training (cross country skiing), it's super difficult 😃

[@blue-sky-travel]

That location at the end with horseshoe - WOW!

[@cyborwhat]

The road to Hana Maui Hawaii is one of the best

[@TideKnotTravellers]

ahh you guys really did make the best of the good weather before all the rain!

[@sonic-boom-playground3304]

Definitely very beautiful place Haven't been to Mallorca before 👍

[@magnefauli]

Have you never seen rollerskis before? Probably a Norwegian with skiing abstinence. You will see thousands going upp the hills around Oslo on rollerskis whenever we’re out of snow.

[@DariaThomasNr1]

Now I really want to go to Mallorca! 😍

[@gabygaedecke2411]

Gorgeous island ... I had heard about these backcountry riches from a cousin - he told me that as of March every year, the island explodes with spring blossoms. That would be a sight to see - and smell, I imagine. And spring would be earlier than northern Europe or northern America, so one could get away from the grey wet springs we know ...

[@craig1lengyel]

"Keep it on your Mush"?? That is a new one! What a beautiful place and awesome hike!

[@fangsbites]

“We had some **** to do…” That is the best way to say it. And this video is totally awesome. Mallorca looks so gorgeous. Great job once again!

[@JustoCerda]

We never had a full month of bad weather like last november. If you could have a really sunny day in this places you have been in this video you'll not believe it, It looks even better. It's great to see Brits enjoying off season Mallorca. Congrats for the video

[@MikeKingTheGlosterBirder]

Boquer Valley is well-known to birders, it's one of the few sites where you can see Balearic Warbler. Love Mallorca!

[@lidd..]

Love your vids....keep on keeping on

[@janetwhitten3945]

Beautiful island. We actually took that road up in a coach right up to formentor 🙀

[@cheryl5601]

OMG when you came out of that tunnel and then you pointed the camera over the edge it felt/looked like Emma was driving off the road. Scared me half to death.

[@tuxdude1]

Thank you for this content! I have been watching your videos for a few months and finally subscribed. Please keep it up as this one was very special.

[@katajha831]

Adorable as usual, hope you all are not stranded anyplace. World done gone nuts again.

[@Improveng1]

Nice one guys. That's another one for the Bucket List, do a road trip of Mallorca.

[@chkoha6462]

We have been to Mallorca a few times and when you stay far away from the major tourist towns the island has so many wonderful places to offer.A Finca up in the Serra de Tramuntana mountain range is just fantastic!

[@SoxRoxBoston]

Yes some of the best views of the mountains and beaches. Those roads were awesome 🤩 Another great video.

[@suzybeetravels]

Beautiful place, went years ago but only to the coast. Really opened up our eyes 🙂💜

[@zaynevanday142]

OMG how awesome is that tunnel

[@MarthaandtheVandwellers]

Lovely video, thank you for sharing. Gate's Pass, near Tucson Arizona was a fantastic "day out" for me a few years back; Picos de Europa in Northern Spain is also great for some switchback roads.

[@RussellChapman99]

Beautiful video. Not crazy but definitely varied was my road trip from Slovakia, through Hungary, then Macedonia into and around Greece. Then headed back through Macedonia into Serbia, then Hungary into Austria to Germany and Netherlands. Then return via Germany to Czechia to Poland and finally back to Slovakia where I lived for a while while working on a project.

[@RuthT90]

The guy was roller skiing. It's the summer version of cross country skiing and what most of the professional cross country skiers and biathletes do to train when there's no snow. It's hard work!

[@gol4695]

Me & the Mrs are going through Your back catalogue Love it Best Rd trio was The GAMBIA TO senegal 🇸🇳 NC500 Also Bucket list is to drive From UK To The Gambia Via the western Sahara We Love your energy & the channel

[@lostamonglocals5382]

Oh man. This video makes me regret not going! We totally skipped it, thinking it wasn't worth the trip out.. Added back to the list

[@RobiPlur]

Very good

[@ShaneandAneVanLife]

Wow just discovered your channel and we ate hooked!! #Vanlife

[@costasworldofmusicmemories5792]

Emma and Alex, you have found the hidden gems of Majorca beyond Spring Break for Brits and Germans. Great vlog guys. It brings back wonderful memories. Be Well. Stay Safe. Harriet and Jim from Richmond, Va. 😍😍😍

[@esku75]

Actually Sa Calobra is the end of Torrent de Pareis, a massive gorge with 300m walls in some sections. Is one of the most stunning hikes you can do 🤩 glad you liked our home 🏠

[@glynn9650]

If you liked driving up Sa Calobra try the Stelvio pass in Bormio Italy, you will love it

[@richt71]

Yes love Mallorca especially away from the main resorts. Remember a few years ago following all the dustbin men into a real small Spanish bar in Port D'entraxt and having their lunch menu....which consisted of a small spag bol to start, then fresh fish and salad, creme caramel to finish served with fresh bread, a bottle of water and a whole ruddy bottle of local Roja! Cost 8 euro's!!

[@alipalma8030]

Greetings to you a morocco an from Mallorca Spain

[@aWanderlustForLife]

It's such a treat to see the rest of the island! We can't wait to go back and explore more. The only town outside of Palma that we saw was Deia and it was lovely! We were thinking about your question of where is overrated and underrated and, for us, that's Venice. We went thinking we'd hate it based on what we were told. But we didn't do any of the touristy things and loved it! We bad a different experience entirely and I think people would love it if they stayed a few days and properly explored.

[@lostamonglocals5382]

Yah, this totally changed our minds on this island. We wanna go exploring now!

[@TourismTeacher]

I live in China and have been pushed to travel to places I wouldn’t have otherwise visited due to the travel restrictions. There is so much more here than most people realise! Definitely a good example of overrated and underrated! If you haven’t already, come and visit Inner Mongolia and travel along the Silk Road once the borders open again!

[@primerealestate94]

Definitely headed there on our trip 😳 looks beautiful

[@keithcrompton6913]

Looking to do both sa corbra and formenta next year for my 60th. Fancy a van too so great video with both included.

[@christianboutell7112]

Albania is one of the most bonkers countrys I've been to,you get there by boat from corfu town,an ancient but beautiful country.enjoy

[@vickimcmillan3705]

Gorgeous Beans 🙏🌿🌺

[@PtangPtangBiscuitBarrelSmith]

If you have never crossed the mountains in Crete you should. The A153 kakyapants pass is something else.

[@m1les7]

Mint vid ❤️✌️🏁🏁

[@toobydude41]

Gosh you must have mad driving skills meandering through those snake-like roads! Absolutely jaw-dropping. Never heard much about Mallorca. So you guys have uncovered a revelation. Alex's remark about heroes ...classic :) Ohhhh, btw, while there it seems like you ran into another wonderful KZbinr I follow, Brogan Tate!!

[@raygreen3150]

The drive into Saint Tropez sticks in my mind, wishing I was driving a sports car. Not the hills you found there though. Great video, thanks.

[@scienceownsimposters2142]

Home sweet Home!Mallorca baby!=) Freedom is coming!

[@fenbarge]

Incredible! Thanks guys!

Hi ... very nice video. Thanks for sharing with us. Watching from Dubai UAE. 78

[@chesterstorm1]

Our Holiday there at the start of lockdown got cancelled was looking forward to Porta Pollensa.....well well one day.... Have fun 👍🇬🇧UK

[@lydiab.9765]

I spotted an octopus (pulpo) in the water at Cala Bóquer two months ago. It was amazing to see one alive in nature. Even better than the begging goats at the beach.

[@santiagosantiago687]

Really impressive! I've been to Mallorca and also like Port of Soller and Porto Cristo despite being urbanised spots. Delightful places too!

[@aroundme5531]

Beautiful...

[@benlewis3795]

"Go get your photo and f**k off" Emma, you have a new subscriber for that alone :D

[@gwynethglas-brown9171]

Great video stunning views 🥰

[@brunowinter931]

The guy with the skies on wheels, that is the summer version of long distance skying. The British Army is doing it as well to keep fit.

[@davidaspden3553]

The guy on the roller skis, I think it’s practice for cross country skiing. Obviously there’s not much cross country snow in Spain so it’s a good way to train. I saw this in Mijas up in the hills. Had a look at the N-rot neck gaiters, $50 my god, you can send me one if you want 😉. Brilliant videos every week, love your content.

[@johnallen148]

Hi Emma Alex,I think when it said road closed it meant it lol but at least you could have a look about ,what a beautiful hike just love the goats,the non tourist side of the island is beautiful over the mountains it’s beautiful stunning lots of films was made there space films as well,once you was through the tunnel it opened up to some beautiful beaches absolutely stunning,the only exciting road was Apple cross pass in Scotland very good especially when it’s wet lo. Great blog most interesting,till next time take care keep safe, John 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️🙌😆👍🥰🎅🏻🎄🔥🔥

[@freetowandernow]

Love this episode guys! Recently we had a wonderful time looking for hidden beaches on Sardinia, Italy. The mountains are absolutely amazing and the roads are wonderful! Amazing landscape with lots of twists and turns with dramatic, sweeping ocean views. Cheers:)

[@TravelBeans]

Sounds wonderful.. sardinia is definitely in our wish list!

[@fabiano6408]

I am from Sardinia but i live in Mallorca from 20 years. Sardinia is now, like Mallorca was 60 years ago with the good and the bad. In Sardinia we have a much more unpoluted and extended land, most of people live from agriculture and herding. The bad is that roads and infrastructure are horrible, many places are unaccessible with cars( that's probably a good thing). If you have a OffRoad Car or Bike....you can really enjoy the 300km x 150km gorgeous island. We have even a little desert that ends in beautiful beaches. The inner land feels like a never ending Natural park.

[@freetowandernow]

@@fabiano6408 there was a great new highway through the mountains at the southern end which was so surprising but the smaller roads were tricky. What a wonderful place. I would love to go back and explore the north of the island this time.

[@fabiano6408]

@@freetowandernow if you didn't visit it already, i suggest you: Le Dune, Cala Luna, Valle della Luna,Piscine di Venere, Asinara.

[@alekssmatic1361]

I would love a recommendation about villages to visit not just beaches if you have any

[@2Travelis2Live]

Beautiful scenery. It reminds me of South Dakota, which I think is both underrated and overrated. Thank you!

[@eurotravelinsider]

Great video guys! Thanks for sharing these secret sites with us. We be checking them soon. 😀

[@salem42salem42]

Absolutely awesome you guys you make the best videos I really love the trip that you made around there... amazing

[@snoman1999]

You show me this now weve left !! 🤣 We go for work once a year so we will defo be checking this out next time 👍🏼

[@gillianbucklitsch4718]

Wow, l live in Mallorca and have done for 48 years. L loved your video to see you reporting on trips l made so long ago and always took my friends and visitors on. ...Mallorca is definately not just that beach holiday....Thank you for a wonderful video portaying the other take on this lovely island....

[@zaynevanday142]

We also had these “neck tubes” that were filled with cooling gel which when wet kept cool for 6-7 hours

[@dcross3514]

Love to get back to see caves D'Arta

[@WalkFun4K]

Wonderful landscape my beloved dear friends

[@adrianroyle4425]

Lots of roller skiing in Finland, good practice for winter XC skiing. You missed some excellent bird watching sites on this drive.

[@WhenAdventureKnox]

Wow, wow, wow, that Boquer Valley trail looked all kinds of beautiful. I'm assuming it wasn't overly strenuous given that it was done on the same day as the beach? The mountain pass road could give the Transfagarasan a run for its money! ❤️

[@CravingCanada]

❤️ Loved this video guys!! ❤️ Thanks so much for sharing with us couch potatoes. More crisps and soda please!! 😁

[@jimdraycott]

Head to Picos de Europa. Amazing roads and sights, plus the largest roman gold mine and the famous Camino de Santiago hike trail. Also, you can take your own van on the 24hr ferry from the UK to Santander/Bilboa.

[@immgrntsrus]

Sounds basic but we did a road trip through most of Italy in December, 2018. The drives around Florence to find our rural Airbnb in the middle of the night fog were insane. Hairpin curves, no visibility, people just flying past as if they had X-ray vision lol … I enjoyed it because I’m pretty adept at crazy driving but it was in the top ten “what are we doing out here??” list of drives. Driving up Pike’s Peak in Colorado is another scary one. But #1 has to be Scenic Byway 12 from Bryce Canyon to Capitol Reef National Parks in Utah. No guardrails, 8,000 foot drops on both sides, no GPS to tell you how much longer it’ll be, no lights at night to let you see the black cows in the middle of the road ... I almost had a true panic attack on that one but we made it safely and my mom enjoyed the views I couldn’t see because my eyes were glued to the road. 😅

[@cupoftea7319]

If you go to Norway you have to check out a road called Trollstigen and Atlanterhavsveien :)
