The discovery of slowness: Menorca
Menorca is often described as Mallorca’s little sister. In fact their names already hint at that. However, as we all know, siblings can be quiet different. When I was visiting Menorca for the first time I was surprised how diverse it is. And…
Best Ice Cream in Palma: The Top 5 Heladerias
