I arrived in Palma de Mallorca close to the midnight on November 1st. When I got off the plane it was around 15°C at the airport, I could smell conifer trees in the air and it was humid. When I tried to get a bus to S'Arenal where my host lived I found out that the bus stopped running on October 31st because it was the end of the season. I had to wait for another bus and change it, it took around one hour until I arrived at my host's place. He was an Algerian guy and he lived in an old house close to the beach. Most of my hosts in Spain and Morocco didn't have heating because they didn't consider it necessary in winter but in Mallorca it wasn't a big deal because it was still warm at the beginning of November. The day after my arrival we went to a beach with rocks and we quickly took a bath. In the evening we went to a German disco and Latino bar and we stayed out all night, we went to sleep at 6am.
Some days during my stay in Mallorca were sunny and warm with the temperature reaching up to 24°C and even the nights were warm, some other days were rainy with the temperature only around 17°C.
I was very happy to have left Scandinavia and enjoy the late summer again. However, the sea and beach were full of jellyfishes. My host told me that if we collected them we could get 20 Eur per kilo from laboratories, but most of them were already rotten. I thought that my host would be free to show me around Mallorca a bit but one of his colleagues fell ill unexpectedly and he had to work almost during all my stay there. I visited Palma de Mallorca several times by myself, one time I met a random guy who invited me to a restaurant for diner, we ordered paella with black rice and sea food.
I also met a Czech guy there at the mass in a cathedral and we went to a cake shop. One day I took a bus to Valldemossa in the mountains, it was a sunny day but it was cold there. Another day I took a bus to Port de Soller, it was rainy so I didn't enjoy it much. Then I took a bus to Soller where I found a bar near the bus station, they had tapas there for only 4 Eur, it was tasty.
My last day in Mallorca the weather was warm and sunny again, I was sorry that I had to leave. There were no jellyfishes in the sea and I went to the beach next to my host's house and I swam there. Then I found a tapas bar nearby and had a lunch there and in the evening I was watching sunset on the beach and then I went to the airport to take my flight with ryanair from Palma de Mallorca to Sevilla on November 8th.
