The Summer timetable on the "metro" in Palma (Mallorca) is a whole *1*

there for the university.

Given its a small town on a small island that really has no business having
a metro in the first place I'll let them off. Still, its nice to see where
spain wasted all its euros. Another good example is the Bulnes Funicular
in the picos europa. Its entirely underground, must have cost a bloody
fortune to build since its all tunnelled through granite and runs from nowhere
to a small village consisting of 2 cafes and 3 donkeys. Its not even a
skiing area so they can't even get their money back in winter. Unbelievable.
Nice ride though!
