Collection: Mallorca

Our vacation on Majorca (yes, that is its English spelling, "Mallorca" being the native-language one). Only a two-hour flight away from Frankfurt, this island in the mediterranean offered what we needed: Warm (but not too hot) weather, sunshine, relaxing at the beach, quietness and a care-free hotel stay.

16 Jul: The first day

Our flight from Frankfurt to Palma, arriving at the Hotel in Colònia de Sant Jordi, a small and quiet town in the southeast of the island.

21 Jul: Tour de Mallorca, day 3, take 2

After having been exposed to so much "city", we wanted to see some more landscape, and headed north past Inca towards Alcúdia, and finally down south via Can Picafort (named after a Dutch guy nicknamed "Picafort", or "strong beater"), Petra, Porreres and Campos back to our hotel.

23 Jul: Colónia: Shopping

Isabelle went out to shop for small presents for her friends, so I took my camera and caught some of the area around the "Placa Constitution", the "Avinguda Primavera" and the "Carrer Gabriel Roca" (the seafront road).
