Beaches

Solar Activity

I think that the weather in Mallorca is predominantly influenced by the moon. But the unstable weather pattern here over the last week or so with high winds may well […]

Sunset Boulevard

Many moons ago I walked the length of Sunset Boulevard, from downtown L. A. through Hollywood to Santa Monica and Pacific Palisades. Nothing quite equals the magnificent beauty of the Pacific […]

The Caló des Mac

On my walk along the beach of Cala Llombards the other day, I happened upon the Caló des Mac, a fascinating spot of raw Mallorcan coastal rock faces. A Caló […]

Gay Mallorca

Doing a daily photo blog about Mallorca for almost five years inevitably turns you into an authority on things Mallorcan, or so some readers think. The secret is, I am […]

Cala Llombards

I am not one for going to the beach a lot during the Summer. It is just too crowded for me when everybody else is there and his or her […]

Cala Deià Revisited

I prefer going to the beach when other people don’t. Yesterday, I went to what must be one of the most beautiful sea inlets here in Mallorca, Cala Deià. To […]

Death Valley

What do you tell a friend who asks whether it will be safe to hike in the Torrent des Pareis in November? A hard one to answer if you feel […]

Contraband in Cala Murada

Cala Murada on the East Coast is as strange a place as you will ever find in Mallorca. When I first went there, some thirty years ago, elderly people sat […]

Lost In Translation

October. Autumn is here. The weather is cooler now by quite a bit. This might be a good time for a nice walk or a hike to somewhere you haven’t […]

Cala Rotja (Canyamel)

Autumn is here. The heat has subsided. There was some heavy rain a few days ago with temperatures dropping considerably, and before you know it, one has to start thinking […]
