By Car:
Leave the airport and follow the signs for Palma. Once on the motorway
toward Palma, travel approximately 2 miles (3 kilometres) and look for signs
for the "Via de Cintura" (Ring Road) on your right. Exit right onto the Via
de Cintura and proceed approximately 3 miles, ignoring the blue signs for
the turnoff to the motorway to Alcudia and the North. When you see the big
new football stadium in front of you, move into the right lane and turn off
onto the road marked for "Puigpuynent".
Go straight through two roundabouts and for the next mile or so you'll be
passing an ugly industrial estate and two quarries. Keep your windows rolled
up against the fine dust. You'll see a sign indicating 11 kilometres to
Puigpuynent, about 7 miles.
As the road begins to rise, you're suddenly in pine forests and the rest of
the journey will be pretty. Pretty curvy, too.
When you enter Puigpuynent, go straight along until the road Ts with a
smaller road at a stop sign. There is a Mallorquin bar/restaurant on your
right. Galilea is indicated to the left. Make the turn and follow along
through the town, past the turn-off for "La Reserva", a nature park worth
visiting.
Now comes the even curvier bit. A sign indicates Galilea in 4 kilometres,
about two and a half miles. Second and third gears are called for along this
stretch, with two or three sharp switchback curves. You'll be climbing
another 1,000 feet by the time you reach us.
Once you've reached Galilea, turn right into the village and follow the six
signs for Scott's Galilea.
