But my true highlight of the nocturnal visit is the roof terrace of La Lonja.  Starting in the…

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.

September 10, 2021February 18, 2022

It started with a system of fortified surveillances located at strategic places along the coast. Talaies, watchtowers in sight of each other, so that the news of approaching invaders would be passed from one to the next. With increasing…

War and peace: Castillo de San Carlos

May 22, 2021May 22, 2021
Castillo de San Carlos

When my friend Rapha was raving about the Museo Militar in Porto Pi I was puzzled. A memory site for guns and weapons? Definitely not my thing. But after centuries of fighting and bloodshed the location of the museum is a peaceful, almost magic…

Coming of age: Historias del Barrio

December 4, 2020December 4, 2020
Pl. Quartera, Palma

A wide starry sky over an orange grove, in the middle of it a red convertible. The radio plays “Golden Brown” by the Stranglers. Three city kids, none of them 18 years old yet, got lost in the Mallorcan countryside. At the end of the joyride…
