Is there actually anything else on Mallorca than the things you listed above?
youd be surprised, mallorca has an amazing landscape and some really interesting historical buildings/ruins
Parent
yea i guess u could call ballerman a historical ruin :)
Parent
:P

sind aber echt einige shöne orte da,waren da vor 10 jahren mal mit der familie
Parent
any town in mallorca has really old middle age buildings, I myself live in a 300 years old house.
Parent
Yeah I think so. I don't wanna go to some place where only families spend their holidays and I'm pretty sure there are such places on mallorca aswell :)
Parent
yes, if u actually have some brains and get out of the butthole they did for u to have fun. guess u couldnt make it.

been there in summer of 2010. I think we went while the school holidays were, though we were in Zivildienst.

We had three 4-bed appartements close to the "small" beach and the clubs (physical, keops,...). Was quite decent (small pool to chill and great cliff-jump spot right next to the hotel). Overall it was a cheap and great vacation if you want to drink, party and so on. We ALWAYS walked to the "big" beach, which was about 15min walk, but it was definately worth it. Wake everyone up at 12am and headed out. Came back around 6pm --> some cliffjumping, buying & cooking food, pre-drinking awesome style until ~ 23/24 and heading out all night long.

THOUGH you should be aware that cala ratjada is more the place were the younger Germany ppl go. We still fit in well, but there were hardly any people older than us partying. So I'd say the age range is about 16-21.

I would not go there again as I've passed that age range, but if it suits you I can only recommend it.
we stayed here:

the "small beach" is right south of it. the "big beach" is north of it (throught the city). You can get free cooling boxes at some kiosks and just buy all the beer there. We also once rented a tretboot and took all the cool beer with us. Very good idea ;)
Parent
there is also a small supermarket relatively close by (in the city). Though there even is a very cheap LIDL west from the location of the hotel (between the two roundabouts), if you'd want to make a bigger shop
Parent
used to go there, dno anything else from that place except that it looks like a deisgned place for stupid tourists to go around drunk so i guess ud have fun

anyway if u want a recomendation from a local ud have more fun if u rented a car, each weekend theres a town in mallorca which does what we call "verbenas" and its basically a party in the streets of tiny towns with music etc and the streets are FULL of ppl filled with a lot of alcohol (and cheap) and young people (16-30yo) the party lasts all night long till the sun raises or longer (depends on the amount ofppl there is) thats the real way locals here in mallorca party cuz its waay more fun and less expensive (or free). theres one every weekend atleast and each one in a different town.

If u wanna go i could tell u more infos.
Sounds pretty awesome but I think we rather have it the more comfortable way and just stay in an apartment or something :) But thanks!! :)
Parent
sounds pretty awesome... but I guess its impossible to find a room to sleep for the "day" after in those citys? :D
Parent
well there are hotels but its better to have a car. theres like 50 towns in mallorca, and each of em makes a party during weekends and week days in summer but not simultaliously, per turns, one day is at one place the other is at another. What me and my friends do (and i guess everybody else unless u happend to live in the town that the party is at) is we go there around 0:00 with our own drinks (cuz then its cheaper even tho buying there is cheap too) get wasted and then since we went there by car we just come back when we feel like (usually like 8 am or so)

Mallorca is small so usually driving between other towns wont be more than 15km(15km being the furthest town) from Cala Ratjada it would be longer (like 20-30 i guess) tho one should stay sober for driving

verbenas look like this:

(thats the main square of a town with a church next to it and stuff)

and in the streets of towns liek this

And only young ppl from mallorca there since toursists dont know about this. So living in mallorca when u are young during summer its basically spend the day at the beach and when the night falls you get to the town thats hosting the party.

You should definitely try it for something new and unknown in mallorca if u are planning on comming back. Also sometimes it gets pretty fucked up... Like people having sex in the street lol, well its usually like that. Also plently of people smoking weed so u can buy aswell there.
Parent
