Plotting the shore route
Winding the yarn map...
Mallorcan textile heritage from a big-ship port — woven cloth-of-tongues first, yarn shopping second.
Cruise berths sit west of the centre; the old town needs the port shuttle, a taxi, or the city bus. Teixits Vicens is a north-island excursion, not a casual stop.

1 craft or textile stop to explore. Palma is a textile call more than a yarn call: the island's signature is 'roba de llengües,' the flame-patterned cloth woven at Teixits Vicens in Pollença since 1854. Frame the day around textile heritage and the old town, and treat dedicated yarn shopping as unconfirmed until a city shop is verified.
