The houses of Santanyí have a golden-white glow thanks to the sandstone. When the sun hits, the town sparkles. Some palm trees are spread over the town, to get you into the Mediterranean vibe. Santantyí definitely deserves a visit during your stay in Mallorca. Take half a day and don’t forget the Mondragó National Park!
Mallorca has more than 70 (!!) wineries. According to some, there are even close to a hundred. Bizarre, isn’t it, for such a small island? Bizarre, but very welcome. Because an afternoon of wine tasting is always a good idea. I’ve tested five wine tastings for you to help you choose the perfect one for you.
In the south of Mallorca are the beaches Es Trenc, Es Carbó, Es Cargol and Cala Llombards. You will definitely end up there during your vacation. But don’t miss the sights around the village of Ses Salines. Discover how salt is extracted, visit the lighthouse and enjoy the rugged coastline.
Sóller and Port de Sóller are in the northwest of Mallorca, in the Tramuntana Mountains. You can easily combine the two in a day trip. Sóller is the town, Port de Sóller is the seaside resort. My advice: start in Sóller and then relax and enjoy some food in Port de Sóller.
ew signs of tourism”, I read about Sineu, Mallorca in advance. Except on Wednesday. Because then the whole island seems to be in Sineu for the market. Rightly so, but visit the town on another day too, because then you can really enjoy the maze streets and restaurants. And! In Sineu, you will find the best coffee on Mallorca.
For two months, I can call Montuïri on Mallorca, my home. The village is untouched by tourism. That’s what makes it so lovely. It is definitely not the prettiest village on the island, but it is my village.
Portals Nous is for the rich and famous. In the harbor of Puerto Portals, you’ll find the most expensive yachts and motorboats. However, the main attraction in Puerto Portals and Portals Nous is you: people-watching is the number one holiday activity here.
There are plenty of flights to Mallorca and Ibiza, but you can also get there by car. You drive to Barcelona and take the ferry. I went to Mallorca with Balearia with my car AND my dog. Here’s what to expect.
I collapse on the narrow cabin bed of the Balearia boat from Barcelona to Mallorca. I can barely hold back the tears. Getting on the boat with my dog felt like entering a battlefield, and luckily no one was injured. But, for our return, I have a different tactic!
