Mallorca Motto: Drone & Friends

Mallorca, a sun-soaked jewel in the Mediterranean, is not just a destination but an adventure waiting to happen. As a drone photographer, I've been fortunate to explore many picturesque places, but my recent trip to Mallorca took my love for photography and adventure to new heights. From capturing breathtaking aerial shots to navigating the island's winding roads, this journey was a perfect blend of work and play. Join me as I recount my Mallorca adventure, sharing my experiences and the thrill of capturing the island's beauty from above.

Mallorca: A Remote Work Oasis with a Difference

I landed in Palma on the 7th of September, ready for an exciting mix of remote work and exploration. During the day, I put in some hours working from a hostel while eagerly anticipating the nights filled with the vibrant energy of Palma's streets. The city's lively atmosphere and picturesque views made for a captivating backdrop for my drone photography.

Magaluf: A Night to Remember

One evening, I ventured to Magaluf, Mallorca's famous night district. Neon lights, beachfront bars, and the energy of the revelers created a captivating scene. The prospect of capturing this vibrant nightlife from the sky was too enticing to resist, and my drone delivered stunning footage of the lively streets below.

Hostel Encounters and Unforeseen Adventures

A few days later, my friends joined me in Palma, and we decided to stay in hostels to meet new people and add a spontaneous element to our journey. Little did we know that our choice would lead to an unexpected adventure. A bedbug infestation forced us to pack our bags in the middle of the night. Instead of despairing, we turned it into an opportunity, camping out on the beach under the moonlight. This unplanned twist added an element of adventure and unpredictability to our trip.

Cala Ratjada: Coastal Beauty and Village Exploration

To escape the hostel mishap, we decided to rent a car and head to Cala Ratjada. Here, we immersed ourselves in the coastal beauty, discovering hidden gems like Cala Mesquida and the adventurous hike to Cala Varques. Charming villages like Artà and Capdepera added a cultural dimension to our journey.

Formentor: A Scenic Hike and Panoramic Views

Near Alcudia, Far de Formentor lighthouse offered a breathtaking panoramic view that begged to be captured from the sky. The 2.5-hour hike to the lighthouse from the parking lot allowed us to soak in the rugged beauty of the island. The Mirador de el Colomer added another layer of cinematic allure to our drone photography.

Arenal Oktoberfest and Endless Nights

As our adventure drew to a close, we returned to Palma, delivered the car, and settled in Arenal, known for its vibrant German community. Our visit coincided with Oktoberfest celebrations, and the nights were filled with merriment, dancing, and laughter. We embraced the local culture, indulged in German traditions, and let loose in the energetic clubs.
