A long weekend on the island of Mallorca, Spain

in #holiday7 years ago (edited)

A relaxing trip, some beautiful 'Calas' - Holiday season has begun!

So last week, i finished my year with the United Nations in Valencia, and this weekend away signaled the beginning of a 'rest' period for me while i decide and plan what's coming next. I'd certainly like a good break from computers - unless i'm blogging of course!

Mallorca is full of beaches and Calas, or coves, it's just a matter of finding the quiet ones this time of year! Around 2 million tourists visit the island each year, putting pressure on the fresh water supply, and so it's best to take a wash in the beautiful waters :)

Last one in has a stinky butt!

We booked an apartment on AirBnB and it didn't disappoint. Situated in a quiet location near the east coast of the island, we received a visit from a Weasel early one morning.

A great place to spend the early evening


Some of the smaller towns like Andratx and Santanyi hold popular Markets. Plenty of cheap goods to walk past but i do like checking the food stalls out.

Hanging Peppers please!

I love Mallorca, I think I'm gonna retire there haha or whatever place in the coast of Spain to be honest ^^ Thank you for sharing!

haha yeah, i'm not ruling that out either! My mum actually retired over there a few years ago and doesn't miss the UK at all!

Thanks for visiting!

Looks like a fantastic place, where exactly is Mallorca?

It's one of the Balearic Islands, I should probably put this information in my post!

& Resteem, Thanks.

Thank you very much @fawadsolangi!

Very good post of your Trip!
Mallorca is a beautiful place.
Next time consider as well visiting Menorca which is my favorite balearic Island by the way, less massified and better nature conserved.
Cheers!

Yes I have visited Menorca a long time ago and it was also beautiful. Thanks for visiting!
