Whenever people travel, many come back exhausted, begging for the sleep they avoided and the relaxation they convinced themselves they didn’t need. “I need another vacation already!”

I recently took a trip to Barcelona for a few days to visit a friend and boy was the vacation after the vacation needed after the eating, drinking, dancing, and the 95-degree Spanish heat. I was exhausted! Luckily, I had enough forethought to build that into my itinerary this time around with a two-day trip to Palma de Mallorca after my 3-day whirlwind through Barcelona.

I considered a few hotels in the city but ultimately landed on Hotel Convent de la Missio, a former convent and a place were monks still practice to this day, located in Mallorca’s Old Town. It’s located on a quiet street but perfectly placed so that everything was very easy to walk to. I chose this hotel because of its interesting history and of course, the location.
