Wieder in Mallorca

Nach einer tollen Woche im Schnee war die Rückreise recht lang und beschwerlich. Jetzt sind wir wieder in Port de Pollenca, allerdings ist das Wetter hier auch nicht so toll. Ab Mittwoch soll es wieder warm und sonnig werden.

A week in the snow

We are spending a week in the French Alps with the children and grandchildren. Great fun.

Around Bunyola

Sheila is recovering well from her surgery, but I still went alone for another hike today. I went up the mountain behind Bunyola through an area that was used for the making of lime and charcoal until the early part of the 20th century. Beautiful views and a very nice walk.

Sa Costera

Another sunny day, another long hike. Today, from a viewpoint above Soller (Mirador des Ses Barques) to an abandoned house on the coast, Sa Costera. This walk goes through the very beautiful Balitx valley, full of orange and olive trees with vultures circling above (I did keep moving). There is a small guesthouse in the middle, the Agrotourisme Balitx d´Avall, alas today there was nobody there to serve me the customary orange juice. The view from the old house along the coast is rather spectacular.

Sheila had knee surgery in Germany today, all went well, and hopefully she will be able to join me again soon on these long hikes.

Another hike

I am alone again for a little bit and a friend of ours asked me to check on some hikes she wants to publish in the new edition of her Mallorca hiking book, tough job. So today I set off for 18.5 km from Lluc to Pollenca, beautiful sunshine and at 10-15 degrees Celsius just right for walking. Met a few sheep, not much else going on at this time of year. The first picture shows the a dangerous creek I had to cross, the last picture is a rock formation called the camel. Hope you can see it.
