We stayed in Alcudia, in the northern part of the island, which is less crowded. |
Let's buy this house. (Peggy?) |
We took a short train ride from Soller to the Port. |
Tourist. |
Cloud 9. |

Hike on our first day led us to this cove where we sat at a table in the sand for lunch. |
It was hard to believe it was October. High 70s, low 80s. Just lovely. |
Second day of hiking---a little more formidable! We were headed to Ermita de la Victoria. (Thank goodness for switchbacks.) |
Best of both worlds: Hiking with vistas of the Mediterranean and mountains. |
Reminded us a little of Lagos, Portugal. |
Mallorcan wild goat is unique to the Island. They were grazing all over the mountains. |
Here's our little hotel--- a renovated 10th century building. We stayed in the attic. Beautifully renovated. |
Last day. Roads were steep and curvy. And driving our little rented Nissan car, which hugged every turn, was a blast. |
More vistas from the car. |
We stopped at the village of Deia for lunch. |
Houses were perched on cliffs. |
Quintessential European street scene. |
A thirty minute walk from town, through the hills, brought us to this out-of-the-way cafe on a cove. This was the hang-out for "local" Robert Graves and other literati back in the day. |
Our view from the restaurant. |
We had a romantic meal here. |
We only have high praise for Mallorca. If you have the chance to go, do it! Hasta luego, Deb and Jim |
