# Mallorca in 3 days: day by day

> Three days in Mallorca bring capital, mountains and an underground world. The first two days cover La Seu cathedral, Valldemossa and the vintage train to Sóller. Day three heads to the east coast: the Caves of Drach near Porto Cristo, where a classical concert is played from boats on the underground Martel Lake, followed by a stroll around Porto Cristo's bay and a swim in a nearby cala.

## How the three days work

The first two days follow the 2-day plan: Palma with Valldemossa, then Sóller with its train and tram.

Day three heads east, about an hour by car or an hour and a quarter by bus to Porto Cristo. Book a morning session at the caves, then walk down to Porto Cristo's bay, have lunch by the water and spend the afternoon at a nearby cove beach.

Remove any stop with the cross or drag it with ≡, add something nearby, and the timings update.

## Where to eat

In Porto Cristo, seafood restaurants by the harbour serve fresh fish and rice with seafood. Try local tumbet too, layers of baked vegetables and potato.

In Palma and the mountains, follow the earlier days: ensaïmada, coca de patata and Sóller orange juice. In the evening, tapas in Palma's La Llotja quarter round things off nicely.

## Tips for three days

Caves of Drach tickets are sold by session, so book online and arrive 20–30 minutes early. It's about 20 °C inside, so bring a layer, plus a swimsuit and sunscreen for the beach.

Without a car, check bus times to Porto Cristo in advance or take a tour with transfers. Instead of the caves, you could spend day three in Alcúdia in the north, with its walled old town and 14 km beach.

## If you have more time

With a fourth day, enjoy a beach day in [Alcúdia](https://yesgo.io/spain/palma/alcudia) or at [Palma Nova](https://yesgo.io/spain/palma/palmanova-magaluf) near the capital.

## Tips

- A morning session at the caves.

- A swimsuit for the coves.
- Book tickets online.
- Spain uses the euro. Cards and contactless are accepted almost everywhere. Book the Sagrada Família, Park Güell and the Gaudí houses ahead on their official sites, which list entry times and closing days.
