Round the city or through it

Our two routing engines disagree by 2.45 kilometres and agree on the time to within three minutes. One takes the motorway ring, 25.46 km; the other crosses the city, 23.01 km. Since the meter charges by the kilometre rather than the minute, the road the driver picks moves the fare by about three euros and the arrival time hardly at all. There is no toll either way; Mallorca has none.

First of the Calvia resorts off the coach

Line A11 links the airport to Peguera along this coast, and coming from the airport Palma Nova is the first resort it reaches, a stop ahead of Magaluf. That matters because most of Mallorca has no airport line at all: of the island's resorts, only the Calvia coast, the Alcudia bay and a strip of the east coast can be reached from the aircraft without a change.

What the journey costs

34 to 42 EUR by regulated taxi, for the vehicle rather than the head, including the 4.65 EUR airport supplement. Five or six passengers add 3.00 EUR to that total and seven or eight add 6.00. The A11 fare is charged by zone hops rather than a published per-route price, so we print no figure for it.
