Travelling to Majorca in september to walk the GR221, the drystone wall route. Sorted with the transport matters but having trouble locating a fuel supplier in Palma before we set off.
I know there is a Decathlon in the town which should sort us for a gas cylinder but our main stove will be a Whisperlight on either Colemans fuel or parrafin.
Does any one have any advice as to the best place to shop in Palma for fuel before we catch our bus. ( town centre preferable as our timings are tight)

In reply to tony forster:


potentially in this shop: http://www.foracorda.com/beta/en

i cant remember if they had gas as it was a long time ago i went.

In reply to tony forster: Can you use unleaded petrol in it?

In reply to tony forster:
I cannot recommend a specific shop because it's about fifteen years since I last went to Mallorca on a self-supported hiking tour. At the time, I took my MSR XGK and allowed a couple of days in Palma for sightseeing and shopping for supplies including fuel. Eventually, after asking in a hardware store, I was directed to a "Carbonería" where I asked for "petróleo" and was supplied with very good quality clear paraffin. It can be done but you will need some time to explore the smaller shops in the back streets.

In reply to tony forster:
Why not just buy another stove at Decathlon? You'll get a basic camping gaz model for a tenner or which will be lighter and more versatile than the Whisperlight

In reply to tony forster: fuel sources stated as above

Are you planning on overnighting at the lluc monastery?

In reply to tony forster: Iv stressed out about this in various countries from france to Iceland, dont worry aboutit you can pick up what you need in most supermarkets or failing that petrol stations, just like home simples
