Majorca June 2023

 

Welcome to my travel blog about Majorca! Majorca, also known as Mallorca, is an island in the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of Spain. It is the largest of the Balearic Islands and is known for its stunning beaches, beautiful landscapes, and vibrant culture. In this blog, I will be taking you on a journey through Majorca, exploring its history, culture, and attractions. I will also be sharing my personal experiences and tips for visiting the island. So, let’s get started!


History



Majorca has a long and rich history, stretching back thousands of years. It was first settled by the Phoenicians in the 6th century BC and later became a part of the Roman Empire. The island has also been ruled by the Moors, the Spanish, and the British. Today, it is a part of Spain and is known for its unique culture and history.


Culture



Majorca is known for its vibrant culture and traditions. The island is home to a variety of festivals and events throughout the year, including the popular Carnival of Majorca. The island also has a unique cuisine, which is heavily influenced by its Mediterranean and Spanish roots.

Majorca is home to a number of attractions, from stunning beaches to ancient ruins. Some of the most popular attractions on the island include the Caves of Drach, the Bellver Castle, and the Palma Aquarium. There are also plenty of activities to enjoy, such as hiking, scuba diving, and sailing.


Tips for Visiting



When visiting Majorca, there are a few things to keep in mind. First, be sure to book your accommodation in advance as the island can get quite busy during the peak season. Also, be sure to pack appropriate clothing and sunscreen, as the island can get quite hot during the summer months. Finally, make sure to bring enough cash as some places may not accept credit cards.

Summer in Sorrento?

Image
Overlooking the Bay of Naples in Southern Italy, Sorento started as an important trading post in the Middle Ages. Today, the popular tourist destination can be reached easily from Naples and Pompeii, making it a great starting point for those exploring the cities along the Amalfi Coast. With its long rows of lemon trees and olive vines, it’s also a picturesque locale to spend a day. Visitors can take a trip back to the 15th century at the Sedil Dominova, a domed building that was once a meeting place for nobles. Today, it’s adorned with trompe l'oeil frescoes and serves as a popular spot to sit and drink espresso or play cards out front. The Piazza Tasso—or center of town—is named after the poet Torquato Tasso, and a marble statue of him stands in the middle of the square. Today, Piazza Tasso remains a symbolic gateway to the old town—peppered with cafes and horse-drawn carriages. For souvenirs, visitors can pick up a bottle of locally made limoncello—a sweet, Italian lemon liqueur...

Extreme Day Trips

 Extreme Day Trips You must have seen the new trend on social media for Extreme Day Trips? No? Let me explain.  With the rising cost of living in the UK a day trip to a European city is working out cheaper than the cost of a day out in the UK.  For example  Gatwick to Geneva  on 8 August is just £90 with EasyJet. With no accommodation to pay for and loads of free stuff to see and do when you’re there it’s coming in significantly cheaper than a train ticket within the UK.  Or, if you don’t mind flying out and back in to different airports, what about London to Luxembourg for just £65 If London is a bit of a hike Manchester is a good bet - a day trip to Dublin  will set you back just £28.  And don’t forget to check out my favourite app Wayaway for the latest prices on cheap flights with cashback. If you sign up to WayawayPlus using the code TP-458422 not only will you save 10% on the annual fee but think of all the cashback you’ll get from these da...
