#The end of Camino de Son Fangos at "39.548065, 2.707282" (coordinates for google maps) can be reached on foot from the nearby Carrefour supermarket, but views from there aren't too good. Do not get fooled by Google maps: The camino is interrupted by the airport perimeter in direction north and you cannot head directly to location #2 (even on foot) !<br> | #The end of Camino de Son Fangos at "39.548065, 2.707282" (coordinates for google maps) can be reached on foot from the nearby Carrefour supermarket, but views from there aren't too good.

#West of runway 24R on Carrer Lluchmajor "39.554784,2.719846". Do not go there on foot, as when coming from the west, you will have to bypass Palma's "slum" at Son Banya (a place not recommended to be after nightfall).<br> | #West of runway 24R on Carrer Lluchmajor "39.554784,2.719846". Do not go there on foot, as when coming from the west, you will have to bypass Palma's "slum" at Son Banya (a place not recommended to be after nightfall). Growing bushes on the other side of the airport fence more and more are obstructing views.<br> | ||
#Much better is a location further north that can be reached from the village of Son Ferriol "39.560280, 2.730200". This is a dead end with not more than 2 cars to park; keep the entrance to the farm clear ! Stay off the private properties including the fields itself. This location offers good views of runway 24R and western / northern apron. Traffic on runway 24L can be monitored, too, but not much more. | #Much better is a location further north that can be reached from the village of Son Ferriol "39.560280, 2.730200".

#Northeast of the airport: With runway 24L used for arrivals you can also park at location "39.559321, 2.769432" and have landing aircraft buzz right overhead you. The sun should be no problem for head-on shots.<br> | #Northeast of the airport: With runway 24L used for arrivals you can also park at location "39.559321, 2.769432" and have landing aircraft buzz right overhead you.
