Is there easy parking near Palma station? So far every Majorcan city I've entered has been a navigational nightmare.
They obviously spunked away all the money they had for sign posting on something more interesting.

I think if you follow the line out you should find somewhere to park on a sidestreet but I would do everything I could to avoid driving there. Parking in Palma is generally a real pain. Note also that the Soller line is slightly removed from the main station.

In parts Palma is abit of a one way nightmare and they do hand out parking tickets. From what I've heard though it's well worth it.

There's an underground car park (plaza d'espana) just near the station,so parking is no problem,contrary to posters above

Just head for the plaza d'espana underground car park. There's a set of steps leading out of the car park to very nearly right next to the station.

Unless you're staying in Palma you'd be better off catching the train futher along the line - at Bunyola. THe first part is a bit dull, it's the last part over the hills which is great.

It's also much cheaper with easier parking too.

THen get the tram down to Port de Soller - they use restored San Francisco street cars which were originally built in England.
