At Leisure
Now we are tourists for a few days, so today we headed for the beach. Not the main beach with its hawkers and palm readers, but the smaller one round the headland past Mambo. We packed our towels, a couple … Continue reading

From the Sublime to Al Arenal
Given the choice we would love to have stayed in Andraitx much longer, but John had had to book our next stop weeks in advance to be sure of being near to the airport for Lara’s flight home, so we … Continue reading
