Ab und zu nach Palma

°

Palma is always worth a visit.


Well, Palma Bread is a dangerous place ...


the traditional Swedish cinnamon rolls just scream after you.
Such a jolly snack.


I finally had time to pop in to this FINNISH BAR in Palma.
Since ages Pia and Pepe are running this place.
Now, during the corona times they also provide the local Finns
with Finnish products like salmiakki, hapankorppu and other stuff.
I might have bought the mustard but they did not have it, yet.



Quite any locals go to tis bar, so this is an excellent tip!
FINNSIH SPOKEN HERE.


I kind of do remember this decoration from Finland.
Tuulikannel?

Tuulikannel on vanha kielisoitin, jonka suunnikkaanmuotoisen kaikupohjan päälle 
on viritetty kieliä. Sitä kutsutaan joskus myös aioloksenharpuksi, koska Aiolos 
on kreikkalaisessa mytologiassa tuulten haltija. Se ripustettiin paikkaan, jossa 
ilmavirta sai kielet soimaan. Sitä on keskiajalla sanottu noituuden välikappaleeksi.

Finnisch für Anfänger:

TUULIKANNEL Äolsharfe / Aeolian harp
TUULI = Wind / wind
KANNEL, KANTELE = Kastenzither /plucked string instrument

Wikipedia explains you more.


It is not even a "poronkusema" from the Finnish bar to this view.
Up in the hill there is Bellver Castle.
Yes, been there a couple of times but it is always great to look down 
to the city of Palma.

Finnish für Anfänger:

PORONKUSEMA = Rentierstreckeohnepinkeln / Reindeerpeedistane
PORO = Rentier / Reindeer
KUSI = Pisse / piss

In der Rentierzucht ist „Poronkusema“ die Strecke, die ein Rentier laufen kann, 
ohne anzuhalten, um zu urinieren. Dabei variiert die Strecke je nach Blase des 
Rentiers zwischen fünf bis acht Kilometer.



Oh yes, the Cathedral.


Bellver.
There is quite an interesting historical exhibition in the castle.
Just have to keep in mind the opening hours,
on Sundays open only until 15 hrs.



Speaking of ...
in one of Palma's traditional coffee bar we made a p-break.
In the ladies' room there were three cabins.
One of them was okay, the middle one closed and
check the third cabin, hello, what happened there???
Let your imagination fly ...  


This is also Palma, the charming old town.
It is really charming, with the old houses, narrow streets.
Keep your eyes open for everything!


My second self made wreath is the herbal one:
rosemary decorated by red chilies and white garlic.

Kanelbulle, a definitive MUST!

Bye bye November

°

Finally November is coming to the end.


It wasn't that gray.
And imagine, I even went hiking. Well, not really,
for a walk with some local friends.


A bit cloudy, yes, in Majorca.


This winter I'll give my vegetable garden another try.
Which plants will grow in this mild weather? Let's try and see.


In winter the sunsets look like fire.


This the real fire. Now it is the time to burn all garden garbage.


Bye bye November sheep.


And even if it got gray outdoors you can make your indoors
life colourful!


My friend told me burn these fast otherwise they start growing moldy.


In the country side there is always action.
Actually this rat was pretty cute. But I do not
want to see it again. Bye bye already now.


And hello, welcome colours!
Stiofán Grego's art exhibition in Palma,
here our private tour through the gallery, guided by the artist
and assisted by his Finnish wife, photographer Olga Poppius.




Espacio Pulpo.


Had to clean my shoes before driving to Palma.
With toothpaste, yezzzz!. Works wonders for white soles.


Shoes for urban hiking.
Palma in November rain.


Palma, so colourful.

Controversial Christmas lights in Palma

°



Für die Beleuchtung wurden 1,44 Millionen Euro ausgegeben. 
Die Lichter – so viele wie noch nie – können in 225 Straßen 
in 65 Vierteln bewundert werden.


1,44 million €
Really? Mallorca is suffering from Corona, businesses are closing down 
and people are unemployed. Where is the logic?
Shouldn't they have reduced the costs for the xmas lights? 
I don't get it but politics was never my thing.

It is a topic in the social media as well.



Even the palm trees are decorated.


The usual lights at the Passeig del Born pedestrian area.

The novelty: 23 meters high walk through tree.


Hm. 
They should have built a drive-through-tree for the corona year.
Really. Now there is no social distance in this space.


 Welcome corona xmas!

Palma graffiti

°

Walk through the old town of Palma and enjoy the quiet streets. Enjoy the tiny lanes.


Reminder.


Not that many streets are decorated with plants.



Come from the the other direction and catch the cat!




Graffiti is big in Palma, and I like it!
