“phenomenal place. really insightful. if you are an admirer of athletes go . Worth a visit”
Visit the Rafa Nadal Museum in Mallorca for interactive sports simulators, virtual-reality games, Formula 1 and mountain-bike challenges, and Nadal’s Grand Slam trophies, Olympic medals, racquets, and outfits. Allow one to two hours. No guide is included, and advance tickets may still involve an assigned entry time.
“Lot of good simulators to try which were a fun experience, also some good on screen quizzes and displays of memorabilia. Suggestion - we would like to have discovered more about Rafa’s back story.”
Spend a day at Sa Bassa Blanca Museum near Alcudia, exploring the Nins Collection, SoKrates gallery, works by Miquel Barceló and James Turrell, plus an outdoor sculpture park and OlivArt garden. Your ticket includes parking and access to the main galleries.
Spend a flexible day at MUCBO in Sóller, Mallorca’s only botanical garden and natural sciences museum. See living Balearic plants, geology and paleontology displays, a herbarium, and conservation work. General admission costs $11, and the site is wheelchair accessible.
“We were very excited to be visiting the gardens, but alas, parking was impossible! After 45 minutes of circling, we gave up, as a steady stream of cars just kept coming. Go by public transport or arrive at opening time, but avoid the middle of the day as you may end up disappointed as we were 😩”
Pick a cala, a mountain road or a table in Santa Catalina.
