Chef‘s table: Miceli
At Miceli in Selva each table is kind of a chef’s table. Not only because of the proximity to the open kitchen and the presence of the chef both there and among her guests. Every meal at Miceli starts with Marga Coll greeting you at the table and telling you the menu of the day. A menu that changes every day depending on what she had bought fresh on the market in Inca early in the morning. Marga works with local, seasonal and mainly eco products. Her kitchen is deeply rooted in the traditional…
Cycling to Orient: Coll d’Honor
The way up from Bunyola to the Coll d’Honor is one of the signature climbs on Mallorca. The quiet road is winding through most beautiful Tramuntana landscape, all the way up to the pass on 550m altitude. And who can resist a destination called Orient, anyway? What sounds like long-distance travel actually isn’t far from any point on the island. Once you leave the woods behind a high plateau opens up and you enter a different world. Birdsong mingles with the bells of grazing sheep and the hum…

There is much more to Mallorca than sun and sea. But for me a day on the beach is always precious. Even more so since there is a different one for every day of the year. From rocky bays to long stretches of white sand, from secluded getaways to…
Top stop: Café Ca’n Topa
A mountain pass is by definition a place of passage. For cyclists, however, often it‘s also a stop over. And Café Ca’n Topa is another good reason to climb up the serpentines to the Coll de Sóller. Anticipating a coffee break makes cycling even…
From Cúber to Sóller: Barranc de Biniaraix
The hike from Cúber to Sóller connects two most beautiful places on Mallorca. Surrounded by the highest mountains of the Tramuntana the water reservoir resembles an aquamarin. Well filled this time, and the surface rippled by a strong wind…
That‘s ice cream: Heladería Can Miquel
Do you remember what it was like as a child in an ice cream parlor? When you had to choose from the many varieties and you couldn‘t make up your mind? At Heladería Can Miquel you just feel the same even as an adult. There are just so many…
Pirate lookout: Torre de sa Mola de Tuent
Explorers love the short hike up to the Torre de sa Mola de Tuent. The path is mostly overgrown so keep an eye on the cairns. Plus you have to master a short steep passage. But some iron footsteps and a steel cable help you with that, so it is…
