Palm a de Mallorca, Spain ■jj ARRYS firsl visit to Palma de Mallorca, Spain, was during the tj chill of winter: our longer second visit to the island came at the peak of the summer tourist season. Most BARRV crew mem- ber, traveled to the resort area of Magaluf to enjoy the beautiful beaches and energetic nightlife. Long lavish beaches, warm Medi terranean sun and cixil water was the perfect atmosphere in ivhich B.- RR sailors could suntan, swim or just ' vegetate. ' As sunset signaled the end of another summer dav, the endless avenues of bars, dance clubs and pubs sprang to life and provided a wide arrav of nighthme entertainment. Sailors could enjoy dancing to the fast-paced beat of techno music or seek out one of Palmai famous theme bars. One such cafe-bar, the Daiquiri Palace, was a popular place to fmd B.ARRY sailors no matter what time of day or night it was. Known to sailors throuhout the fleet, the Daiquiri Palace has a memorabilia wall with stickers, patches and pins from many of the Navy ships and aircraft squadrons that have patonized ' the Palace ' on cruises past. B. ' XRRY sailors added a seal in a promi- nent place to ensure that future patrons know the BARRY sailors of MED 96-1 had left their mark at this MED cruise Mecca. .■ nother Palma fixture that was no stranger to NAVY ships was the small concession stand that was set up on the pier offering fiHid, beer, and mineral water. The stands current owner was the second generation to serve the ships that pull into Palmas busy port. The stand proudly displayed three posterboards covered with US Navy ship postcards, some dating back to the 1950s! The stand was a non-traditional landmark in a city of beautiful churches, picturesque plazas and great shopping. Altough far awav from the United States, BARRY celebrated July 4th in true red, white, and blue fashion while inport Palma. The Supplv department prepared an Independence Day feast com- plete with barbecued ribs. Sailors from the USS MERRIMACK, fleet oiler in our battlegroup, were invited to share in this taste of Americana. Hosted at the local Spanish army base, the picnic area was adjacent to an athletic area where sailors participated in basketball, football, and street hockey. For the more daring and adventurous, there was cliff jumping at a series of coves just out- side the port. Learning from locals about the safe times to jump and water entr ' procedures, sailors mustered the courage to take the adrenaline-pumping plunge. Only the bravest of the brave tempted the god Neptune himself as thev jumped off thirty-foot clittV into thf r.isini; Mirf below. 50 USS Barry

icanv Spain Located on Spain ' s Costa Blanca, or White Coast, Alicante was BARRY ' s first liberty port of the deploy- ment. The large metropolitan city offered a variety of ac- tivities: entertaining nightlife like Saturday night bull ights, biking and hiking in the surrounding mountains, and visiting bustling plazas with open air markets, muse- ums and fine dining. Many crewmembers took advantage of one day excursions to other famous Spanish cities like Valencia. After an extended underway period, it was time to rest, relax and experience the culture of a new place.
