airport web site for maps, but no luck so far.

I would like to see the local majorca life,( good tapas bars) i.e off
the beaton track. Any where on the island.

no real problems, mountain roads in north are of course slow and
winding

some car hire cars are off site, but the main ones like
Hertz/Europcar are on site, I would book through their websites
in advance although you wont be sure of the exact model you will
get. I usually use Europcar but at Palma they still operate as
Betacar, the company that they started as there and then became
Europcar. We have always found Europcar good, except this
occasion, where the A class Merc was poor for the price we booked
at. We just got a feeling maybe they resented Europcar bookings?
Might have been coincidence?

I use carjet.co.uk, who have arrangements with local car firms in Palma
airport. They're good value and you can pick up and drop off your
vehicle at the airport carpark.

I used Easyrentacar a couple of times, but it's not always the cheapest
option and you need to wait for a minibus to take you to their depot,
which is a right pain.

Stay, Iru, Can Curassa, La Terraza in Port Alcudia.

I would like to see the local majorca life,( good tapas bars)

Bodega des Port in Port Alcudia.
