Bomb in Cruise Port

PALMA DE MALLORCA, Balearic Islands (AP) — An explosion on the Spanish resort island of Mallorca killed two police officers Thursday and authorities blocked all outgoing flights and ships from leaving as part of a manhunt.

This was one of our favorite port on our Azamara Transatlantic cruise last year. :thumbdown:

What a shame, I am sorry to hear that.

When I was in junior high (now they call it middle school), my Spanish teacher always talked about Mallorca, Minora and Islas Canarias. So I, too, have always been intriguied and wanted to go there. Hopefully this bomb isn't a serial thing and all will be restored shortly. Again, how tragic for friends, families and tourists.
