Banys Àrabs: Medieval Spa

February 26, 2023March 2, 2023

Torre Picada

It’s just an easy hike, but exciting nonetheless. The ancient watchtower Torre Picada is part of a network of observation posts that formed an early warning system around the entire island. Not far from Port de Sóller, the climb takes barely half an hour.

Stories from the Sea: Museu de la Mar

August 12, 2022September 4, 2022
Museu de la Mar

Nowadays everyone loves the Mediterranean. But not so long ago, only fishermen and seafarers lived near the sea. They respected, and often feared, the power of the sea. And for some it was rather a place of departure than a destination. A visit…

Emblematic Stores in Palma

If you really want to get to know a city you have to explore more than just the official sights. Meet the locals, visit the markets, sample the food – and browse through the stores. Not the ubiquitous franchise stores that make one city look…

Nocturnal visit: Consolat de Mar and La Lonja

June 8, 2022August 14, 2022
Consolat de Mar y La Lonja

Palma‘s former bourse of maritime trade is one of the most beautiful buildings on Mallorca. Whenever the impressive wooden doors of La Lonja are open, I love to drop in for a few moments. Visiting the official residence of the Prime Minister of…

Wheels in the sky: Windmills on Mallorca

March 18, 2022
Windmills on Mallorca

They have been on every picture postcard for decades. The windmills on Mallorca are landmarks, if not trademarks of the island. In particular the iconic windmills with the typical bicolor rotors. White painted metal with contrasting blue, green…
