Ariel Apartamentos Cala d'Or

Arive and spend day in Majorca Also known as Majorca, this Balearic island is a true Mediterranean paradise. It's deservedly famous for such natural wonders as its golden-sand beaches, tall pine groves and towering cliffs. The landscape is as varied as the northern mountains and the southern flatlands with their almond and olive groves. Among the many must-sees are a Gothic castle, a 13th century cathedral and the former palace of Mallorcan kings.

Just south of the town of Portocristo are the Cuevas del Drach, which are really four caves all connected to each other. This cave however has a large lake in it, called Martel Lake. It's large enough to ride a boat in and to see all the stalactites hanging from the ceiling. It’s a beautiful place ...

... away from the small coastal town of Colònia de Sant Jordi. This beach was rated the second best bare beach in the world and I can see why. Only six of us could go to the beach since the yacht would continue on towards Minorca and we would have to return on the heli. I didn’t even think we would have six people since no one had fully recovered from last night. We took a tender to shore where the crew ...

... ich heraus, dass Es Trenc mit neun Kilometer der längste Strand in Mallorca ist! Auch die Flüge sind nicht besonders teuer, jedenfalls verkraftbar mit meinem Budget. Noch muss der Chef die Ferien "bewilligen", doch schon bald werde ich meinem Traum ein Stück näher sein... Adios!

This morning started out cold and rainy so I got a slow start. Wandering around in the rain wasn't what I wanted to do. It cleared up in the afternoon and I headed out to Porto Cristo. I went via some back roads and got a couple of windmill pictures.

My primary reason for going to Porto Cristo was the caves there, the Coves del Drac (the Dragon's Caves). These are truly beautiful caves with impressive stalactite and stalagmite ...

... designed to separate the tourists from their money. It is a pretty bay with a very large marina filled with yachts from all over.

Phoenicians settled at this site in about 700 BC, using it as a link for trade between Africa and Spain. The Romans came in, destroyed the Phoenician town and built their own town of Pollentia, the capital of the Island. In 426 AD, Pollentia was destroyed by ...

... 28 stone residences. The talayots are towers made of stone and can be either round or square but nobody knows for sure what their functions were. Some appeared to be watchtowers, others were used for burials, they could have been religious, or they could have had military functions. They also think they might have been status symbols for important families. Or the answer could be D) all of the ...

... Most everywhere one travels, particularly in the mountainous regions that would be very challenging on a bicycle, there are herds of bicycle tourists valiantly struggling up the mountain (or flying down it). You have to be careful driving because many times you round a bend to discover a herd taking up your whole lane.

The monastery is the Santuari de Nostra Senyora de Cura. The entry portal and parts of the ...

... run away from the rat-race. So I booked my flight on easy jet and left in the past summer. Its a Island of most relaxed people on earth, when you go from London like city you will feel that more than other, even sometime you will wonder why they are so relaxed and so fun loving. As a single, I find Palma De Mallorca the most hang-out able ...
