Leaving Palma in the early afternoon still left us with enough time to take a short trip into the Tramontana mountains and the village of Caimari north of Palma, famous for its olive oil, a tip from a young Mallorcan lady that sit next to us on the plane. Little did we know what the whole village was completely abandoned on the day before Easter Sunday. No shops were opened and noone in sight. We wandered through the whole village feeling like beeing in a scene of The Walking Dead, a serie we were so addicted to lately ;-). With not much to do, we decided to drive further onto the mountain and headed to the Lluc Monastery.
The road to Lluc is pretty narrow and curvy, it was also quite popular to mountain bikers, who were everywhere, so I can’t say it was a fun drive. Besides, I had to shift the gears so often that I had a sore leg the next day, a clear sign of degenerated muscles caused by always driving cars with automatic transmission ;-).
