    Cycling in Mallorca

    Posted by zatroni 18 July 2010

    Mallorca in Easter is cycling heaven. The Mallorcans love cyclists and cycling. You don’t need to take your own bike as all grades and quality of bikes are easily hired locally. The Hotels such as the Pollensa Park in Puerto Pollensa even have bike workshops you can use. There are lots of bike-friendly routes like the long slow climb out from Pollensa up to the Monastery at Lluc with wonderful views of the island all the way up. The Monastery has a cafe filled with cyclists and lots of unique Mallorcan cakes.
    The return allows you to spend the height you gained during the climb. You go down into the centre of the island through the olive and almond groves and lovely villages each with their own charm, such as farms decorated with Gaudi mosaics and cafes filled with cyclists.
    If you are a beginner or a club cyclist looking for early training, Mallorca has the bikes and the cycle routes for you.

    Koutsouri Beach on Cape Kalamaki

    Posted by zatroni 31 March 2009

    This is a little beach which can only be reached down a steep, perhaps impossible slope or by boat.
    But it is perfect, one little taverna which washes its fresh fish in the sea. A beach with the purest sand and if you are lucky the most beautiful marble pebbles.
    So it is for swimming, lazing and off course eating.
    Need I say more ...

    Take the only island bus, you will know what I mean when you get to Skiathos. Get off at stop 13 and follow the road round the Cape to the furthest point which is about half a kilometre then down the cliff to the beach. Don't worry I have seen the most beautiful legs tricking down in flip flops.
    Enjoy
