My second Balearic Island...
Ok so about a week ago my Instagram was insane! Not to blow my own trumpet, butI always think my instagram is better when I'm off travelling...A bit of a hint by the title but I went to Majorca/Mallorca for the first time (not sure why there's two spellings)...anyway.
I'd been to the Balearic Island of Ibiza before and in many way this was very similar looks and personality wise, but on the flip side the holiday in general was different. The first reason why it was different was we went (me and my friend Georgina) all inclusive. ALL INCLUSIVE! Oh my. Saying it now even makes my mouth water. I mean sure there was alcohol of all varieties, wine, sangria, beer, vodka, rum. BUT I'm talking about the food! I love food...so the thought of being able to eat whatever I wanted however many times I wanted was just amazing. The three main foods for me just in that week were bread smothered in butter, grilled salmon, and of course Ice Cream! There were other foods of course with lots of variety ,so I didn't waste the chance to try things I'd never tried before like Paella and lemon fish and even Muscles. But the bread! I have no idea what the Spanish do but their bread is soooo good! Moving on...
The second thing that was different about this holiday was the company. Having only two people means that there's less people to keep happy. Sure going in groups can be great and you can always split up, but there are a lot more people to keep happy lets be honest and you aren't always going to want to do the same things. Another thing about it just being the two of us is that we are easy people to please in general, so it was nice to just have a relaxing holiday with nothing or no-one to worry about. Pure bliss...until I dragged Georgina shopping every so often. Sorry not sorry.
Now Majorca as an Island is a mixture of things. You have the nice quiet, relaxing area like where we stayed in Santa Ponça. You have the shopping, city side of it like in Palma, and then you have the Magaluf side, which you know each to their own but I wouldn't like to stay their personally. We only saw this part for a few minutes, and I'm normally not one to judge but them few minutes going through Magaluf was enough (yes that rhymed...depending on how you say it). It wasn't pretty put it that way. Palma on the other hand was a gorgeous city full of amazing architecture, art, entertainment and of course shops!
Getting around Majorca was easy too. Walking around there were lots to see and do in Santa Ponça, including DJ Rudy's magical Bingo Bongo nights at the hotel, always a treat! But the buses were easy to get to too (once we found a bus stop) and cheap to get us to towns around Santa Ponça, it was €3.40 to get to Palma! Definitely worth the money, even if the bus driver was counting his money rather than keeping his eyes on the road all the time :/.
Overall the whole experience was brilliant for me, from the hotel to the whole Island I couldn't fault it and I'd definitely go back again! I returned home feeling so relaxed and even refreshed...Until next time DJ Rudy!
