Club Cala Serena 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 ...

The night before all of the guests, Stee and I went to a dance club in Ibiza. We didn't arrive back onboard until close to 7 AM. We then began our cruise to Mallorca, the island just north of Ibiza. The crew had food for those who were hungry, but most of us went straight to bed.

Just after noon, around five hours later, we arrived off the coast of the playa ex pregons gran, a nudist beach just a few ...

Es Trenc - Traumstrand im Süden von Mallorca Schon immer war ich fasziniert von den karibischen Stränden mit weissem Sand und dem schön blauen, klaren Wasser - leider konnte ich mir bis jetzt noch nie einen Flug leisten, auch für das Hotel hätte es wohl nie gereicht. Doch ...

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 ...

... and wasn't rebuilt until the Moors built Al Kudia in about 800 AD. With the Christian conquest the town was again demolished and rebuilt as Alcúdia.

The town of Alcúdia has restored much of the medieval wall that surrounded the city so it adds to the medieval sense of the place as you wander the wall and look into the town to see the 16th to18th century stone homes and narrow winding streets.

... all around these buildings which I found kind of surprising. Archeologists have worked on these sites but little is known of the residents.

And this was the only place I went today. I had other stuff to do (laundry, shopping... pretty boring stuff) The roads getting down here were mostly little one-lane country roads. The only problem was that those one-lane roads carried two-way traffic ...

This morning I went to a small town nearby shopping. Each town has its day for a farmer's market. I needed to stock up on fresh produce so rather than just do the supermarket trip I browsed the farmer's market at a small town close to where I'm staying. The markets are set up in the central square of the town and I figured they should have fresher produce than the supermarket. They also have more color and are more fun ...

Why I choose Majorca to visit is a ideal question you would ask at first. Simple reason, a friend recommended. The quality he told me about this Island was its weather which remain calm and warm most time of the year. Imagine, its a far more predictable weather if you compare to our typical weather here in UK. Being a Londoner, I always wanted ...

Since I decided not to do anything yesterday other than read a good book, go for a walk on the beach and join Petra and Caro for a Tapas dinner (restaurant "Tast" in Palma, wouldn't recommend it) it was another sightseeing day today. Since I was so impressed with the Caves in Campanet I wanted to visit another one and the village of Portocristo on the southeast side of the island should have two of the biggest and ...
