Not a difficult task for the first time
traveller, it is surprisingly achievable.
Journey time can
be just over 1 hour, typically just over 2 hours. Cost
4.60 Euros each.
The Spanish bus drivers have never been
helpful in my experience.
They only want to speak Spanish,
and don't want to ensure you get off the bus at the right place.
You cannot pay for bus fares with 20 Euro notes. So ensure you
have some small denominations with you.
The drivers prefer
exact money. I have always
found them to be honest with change. |
OK, your flight has
landed, cleared Customs,
Now head for the sunshine.

Palma Airport Bus Line 1
The bus stop
is just across the car park outside the main doors from the
arrivals hall.
It is about a two minute walk from the terminal
building or if you have heavy luggage or walking difficulties
there is a moving walkway to transport you across the car park.
The Palma Airport buses run at regular 12 minute intervals
and have an autocue on the bus, at the front, which tells which
you which is the next stop.
The route is as follows: Route:
Aeroport, Joan Maragall, Avinguda Gabriel Alomar, Avinguda Alexandre
Rosselló, Plaça d'Espanya,
Av.Compte de Sallent / Alemanya, Passeig Mallorca, Avinguda
Argentina, Passeig Marítim, Estació Marítima, Dic Oest .
Departs from Palma Airport: 06:00, 06:12, 06:25, 06:37 last
departures: 00:45, 01:10, 01:35, 02:00 (average frequency every
15 minutes)
Departs from Dic de L'Oest in Palma: 05:30, 05:55,
06:12, 06:25 last departures: 01:10, 01:35, 02:00, 02:25

The bus travels along the motorway,
then into Palma and onto the busy two lane city centre loop.
Look out for the pink Building
on the right
The next stop is where to get off the
bus
The Stop is called Plaça
d'Espanya
|
Get off
the bus HERE !!! Plaça
d'Espanya
 |
Walk round the back of the building,
looking for the glass topped escalator.
Go to Intermodal !!!
 |
You have a choice of Escalator or Lifts.
I prefer to go down the Escalator, keeping right past the Railway
Platform Entrances,
turn left at the end and go down the
next escalator
Now you need to look for your stand for your
bus to Deia. For many years this has been Stand
7.
There are two buses to Port de Soller
The 211 is "PAR
TUNNEL" WHICH YOU DO NOT WANT TO GET ON.
Your bus is 210,
PAR VALLDEMOSSA
They really make things difficult by having
both buses next to each other and often departing at the same
time.
The bus looks like this
Put your luggage in the lockers at the side of the bus,
you have to open them yourself
|
Pay the
driver.
You cannot pay for bus fares with 20 Euro
notes.
In 2012 the fare was
2.70 Euros each
Sit back and enjoy the ride. Watch
out for the large roadside Kilometre markers. You will
be getting off the bus between 62 and 61.
DON'T FORGET TO GET OFF THE BUS
IN DEIA CENTRE !!!
Make sure you get your luggage before
the driver departs.
Son Canals is only a few hundred
metres walk in the direction of Soller, where the bus went.

TIMETABLES
They are available on line,
but here are pictures of the 2011 times.
I don't think they
will be changed much
As ARRIVA have taken over the route,
I expect they will try to get a return on their investment.
SO EXPECT FARES TO RISE.
TIMETABLES from the On Line website .
But this may change
quicker that I can keep my pages up to date
ONE THING
TO POINT OUT.
The 16:45 from Palma !!!
From Palma, you
use the L211 to Soller bus station, where you change onto the
17:35 L210 coming from Port de Soller going to Palma via Deia
!!!
Through ticketing applies, so ask the driver for "DEIA
PAR SOLLER". Give him the 2.60 Euros.
Many drivers forget
about this one quirk of the timetable and try to sell you a
ticket to Soller. But insist!!!
