The mechanic's corner

This weekend my couple and I went to eat at a buffet at the Son Pardo racecourse. It is right next to the son pacs institute. It is a buffet where we can find typical Mallorcan dishes, such as “ tumbet” which are sliced ​​vegetables such as aubergine, potato and green pepper, with tomato sauce. We also found "trampo", which is a salad of tomatoes, onions and green and red peppers, cut into very small squares. Most of the dishes in the buffet are good, I recommend the site to people who like buffets. Also this weekend I made a cheesecake with jam that was great. My partner and I like to have something sweet to eat after lunch. Right now, while I am writing the blog, I am preparing donuts, typical of this time of year. Next week I will upload photos of how the donuts have been. This week at Globalia we have continued with the hydraulic systems of the plane with Jose Miguel. In the workshop, Pere and I have finished assembling the turbochargers, we have stopped all the sc...

This week our parents have come to visit us from Menorca. They have come to celebrate my partner's birthday, mine and my father's. On Saturday morning I had to get up very early to go to the airport to pick them up.This time, and as we celebrated our birthday, we went to a restaurant located in the center of Palma, but there are others like it all over the island.We went to “la casa gallega", all the food they make is very good. For the amount of food they give you and the quality, the price is good. The dish that I liked the most was a grilled sirloin that was delicious. When we finished eating we went for a walk in Palma and some shops there. The same day, my parents returned to Menorca. The rest of the days, it has been bad weather and we have not left home, and we have taken the opportunity to study module 7 and cook some special dishes. One day I made chocolate with churros that were great. On Sunday I made a seafood paella that was also very good and for dinn...

This week has been special, since I celebrated my couple's birthday and mine. The birthday surprise, my couple's sister has come to visit us. My partner didn't expect this surprise. We have visited some places in Mallorca such as Son Servera and the “Esglesia Nova”, that it's an unfinished church, with a special charm. We also visited the port of Portocristo and its small beach. We went to eat at the famous restaurant "Es cruce" located in the town of Villafranca de Bonany, on the road towards Manacor from Palma. It's a restaurant very famous for a typical Mallorcan dish called "arros brut". The prices  unsurpassed and for this reason there is a lot of waiting time for you to get a table to eat. Not only is it cheap, they also put a lot and it's good. People from all over Mallorca go. At Globalia, we still don't know exactly the date of the exam of module 7, but they have told us that they will be a month later than expected. This...

This last weekend I went on an excursion to the Puig major, since this weekend there was a car race. Taking advantage of this event, the night before the race, I slept near to the village of Sóller, a small village located between mountains. Sóller seems to me a spectacular village since it is surrounded by mountains and with a special color in its houses. In addition, it has a small railway that reaches the port of Sóller. I camped near the road for the next morning to see the race from there. What impressed me most, is to see the sunrise from the mountain, with the town of Sóller just below. It was a full day that helped me to disconnect from the module 7 exam. Day 9 was my birthday and I brought cookies and croissants to class for my classmates. Upon arriving home, my partner had prepared a cake with 23 candles. The next weekend is her birthday and I will prepare some surprise ...  In theory class we have started the airplane's pneumatic system, but in practic...

From now on, every week I will upload a new blog post explaining what I have been doing during the week both in Globalia training and in my day to day.  In recent weeks I have been a little involved, since I had to move from Menorca with all my things, to install me again in Llucmajor. This past Friday I went back to Menorca to process some papers that I had pending. On Thursday night I took a flight from Palma airport to Menorca. Now that I know quite a lot of aircraft and aviation systems in general, every time I go to the airport I look at many things.I got on an Iberia plane operated by Air nostrum, specifically a CRJ-1000, a plane with two turbine engines that takes about 20 minutes from Palma to Mahón. On Saturday, I was back in Palma, I noticed that there was a plane of the Malaysia Airlines company, specifically an Airbus a380, a giant plane at the Palma Airport. I inform myself about the plane and it is a plane that these days is doing the Palma - London rou...
