Hey Afaconados!
I know you guys are probably tired of the recaps about my trip by now, but I neglected to mention the last stop on our European tour…the city of Palma in Mallorca, Spain.
After our amazing cultural and delicious dining experiences in Rome, then the stunning views of the coast in Amalfi, my bestie and I made our way over the beach for some fun in the sun. The beaches in Mallorca are BEYOND gorgeous! White sands, beautiful turquoise blue water and wind surfers…LOTS of wind surfers. It’s certainly a great help that it’s so windy there. We heard from one of the locals that the time of year determines just how windy it can get.
On our first night there, we were lucky enough to stumble upon a Fish Spa. If you’ve never heard of a fish spa, it’s probably because it’s only legal in 3 states here in the U.S. Since most of you probably won’t get to have this experience based on that information, I can tell you this…once you get used to the tickling of the fish chomping away at your calloused feet (they eat away the dead skin)…you are in for a treat my friend. After our 25 minutes, my bestie and I had feet so soft it felt like a baby’s bottom. It was AMAZING!
Check it out:
Since we were limited on our time in Mallorca, we decided to kill two birds with one stone on Day 2 by taking a visit to the City Center to see La Seu Cathedral of Palma and then later going to the beach to lay out. The Palma Cathedral is gorgeous….and HUGE! We had so much fun doing our photo shoot there.
My outfit for the day was neck to ankle from Target with the exception of my scarf, which I got in London. I wore my trusty fedora and rocked my gladiator sandals to top it off for more of a European feel.
Here are some of the pics:
And later on…
I’m not sure where my friends and I will go that can top this trip to Europe, but I’m SO excited for the next adventure…the next chapter in my Book of Travel. There’s something about getting on a plane and going off to explore land you’ve never set foot on before…something it does to you. It changes you somehow. I feel so free when I travel, like I can do anything. There’s so much of the world I want to see and I can’t wait to show you all where I go next!
Until next time!

AHHH!! I can’t believe you went to a Fish Spa!! It totally freaks me out, so I’ll take your word for it. At least you got to drink while they were chewing on your feet! LOL

Hi Carla! I was completely freaked out at first but it really just tickles a lot. Lol! It’s only allowed in 3 states over here and I wish we had it in GA. My feet felt soft as a baby’s bottom! Lol!

Great Narrative and Pics that you shared with us of Your Trip! Thank you! I never heard of a fish spa until you told and showed us pics about it..Do you know what 3 states in the United States that fish spas are Legal in? I am just curious that is all.. I have NO intention of going to one though .. lol I don’t think I could sit there having fish nibble at me making my feet tickle…lol .
Johnnalynn Lynch says
Hi Susan! Thanks so much! I don’t know which 3 states have fish spa available…the owner of the spa told my friend and I that. I did enjoy it though, and my feet were SO soft when it was over! Thanks for your comment!
