What a Great Island...!

This was my first visit to Mallorca and I was very pleasantly surprised ! I had this image in my head of lager louts and kiss me quick hats, but not a bit of it ! The island is extreemly pretty with views round every corner.
Our hotel was extreemly comfortable and friendly and the food was excellent with bags of choice. Our first day out painting on the Playa de Palma was very pleasant with the sea a deep turquoise. Next day we took a trip into Palma and painted the Cathedral and the docks.
The highlight of the week was our artists 'trip' to the east side of the island to paint in the lovely harbours of Cala Figuera and Porto Petro which were absolutely delightful. The weather closed in for a day but then brightened up again for our trip up into the mountains to the town of Valdemosa .
Our last excursion was on the mountain railway up to Soller. We spent the whole day up in this mountain resort with its lively squares and bustling trams which cut right through the streets .

So all in all I must say I was very impressed with all thing Mallorcan !
