@Lifecruisertravel Well, you could always go back for a second round It never really appealed to me with the whole “fish and chips” crowd but Dave’s pointed out another side of the island (literally and figuratively) that I now must go and explore.

Great interview! Ah, I so wish that I had been able to read this before I was there in the beginning of May! Though I had figured out that Valldemossa and Deia were our top priorities to visit. Beautiful both of them, but Deia is a true pearl – I’ll write about it soon actually

We stayed at Alcudia port and beach, but did drive around a bit too – as you said: Mallorca has so much more to offer and I love all the rural parts. I love the Mallorquin houses!

@dave2… still to go to the hardrock in palma. first place i’ll drive to next time i get off the plain!

there are many fine restaurants in and around palma. i wouldn’t class es verger a restaurant, it’s more a run-down house where food is served. but my gosh what a lamb. a must for foodies anywhere

@ Dave2 You and the Hard Rock…

@ Roger Dave certainly does a good sales pitch, doesn’t he? It certainly is much more appealing than the fish-and-chips Mallorca that we’re used to seeing.

@ Fred Glad we could help you out – feel free to report back with your findings.

I love to travel and I now have put a new dart on the map. Your description of Es Verger did it for me. ft

Fascinating insight to the presence of a real, true, interesting bunch of great facets about this island.

Knowing of some people’s reports of the delights of inland Mallorca – and the fine inns that are found there – I will add it to my ever lengthening list of places I will visit.

We have written with I hope, a similarly revealing sweep, of another large European island, Crete and I do hope you may find some interest in travelling in Crete one day as a comparison. It also has a concentrated area of mass plastic-injected tourism and endless pockets of hidden beauty, character unique and seducing.

It’s at http://www.CreteTravel.com if you’d like a revealing peak.

Muchos grazias for the interview.

I finally visited Mallorca in January this year so that I could tick the new Hard Rock Cafe in Palma off my list. I only had two days, but was positively captivated by the city and am dying to get back and explore more of Palma and the rest of the island. Thanks so much for the good advice for my next trip!
