Ses Puntetes Cala d'Or

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 and one you shouldn’t miss if you ev...

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 th...

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 tollerweise bin ich während dem Herumstöbern im Internet fündig geworden: ...

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 ...

The town of Artà is located in a smaller range of mountains than the Serra Tramuntana where I've been before. This is the Serres de Llevant range on the eastern side of the island. At the top of the hill is the Santuari de Sant Salvador. This was the site of a Moorish fort which was destroyed by Catalan soldiers and replaced with a shrine for a...

My destination today isn't very photogenic, looking pretty much like a rock pile. It's the oldest prehistoric site on the island - Capocorb Vell, the ruins of a village that archeologists believe existed in about 1000 BC. That's about the time that David was King in Israel. Although they believe that the village was bigger than what's been uncov...

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 fresh...

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 t...

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 ...

After I had heard numerous times that it was only a 40 minute walk along the beach from the Apartment to Palma, the capital of Mallorca I decided to take the short and beautiful walk. Well the walk definitely was beautiful, short not so much. I wonder where the 40 minutes came from. It took me a little less than 2 hours to get there, I walked re...
