Alcudia - old town

The trip around Mallorca continues :) Another place we visited is the old part of the town Alcudia. The narrow, colourful and quiet streets of the old town are magical. They are full of flowers, colourful and historical buildings, old, little windows and also unique cafes and local shops selling local art and souvenirs. Every street had some surprise around each corner which made exploring of it more and more eventful and felt like going back in time... Have a look yourself :) The old town from above...

Pollensa - Santuari del Puig de Maria

My sister likes hiking so we decided to hike up to the Santuari del Puig de Maria as we expected beautiful views. The hike was easy and took about 50 minutes, however, in the heat it was not as simple but still enjoyable :) The views on the way and on the top compensated for all the effort. When reaching the monastery it was almost like we arrived in a different era. The buildings were constructed in 1348 and almost looked like they were abandoned. There were benches with breathtaking views, a little chapel and a tiny cafe in the monastery. The surroundings are full of flowers, citrus trees and goats, it is a very pleasant place to rest after the hike in the heat.

Majorca - Cala s'Almunia

Writing this post is very exciting for me. This is because I visited Majorca, and after Corfu, it is the most beautiful place that I have been to. The combination of beautiful beaches, breathtaking mountains and magical villages is just so unique. In this post, I want to show you the gorgeous, wild beach called Cala s'Almunia. It is just beside the famous beach Calo des Moro, but it less known and we got there by accident when trying to get to Calo des Moro. After reaching Cala s'Almunia we did not regret getting lost as the views were just astonishing as well as the tiny pebble beach with clear water and a huge cave in the bay few meters from the beach. Just have a look yourself :) The views during our walk to the beach were just magical... Going down steep steps to the beach... The views when we reached the beach... With 35 degrees outside the water was perfect for relaxing... Majorca is full of little surprises like a door i
