Sunset Boulevard

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 […]
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 […]

Salvem Portocolom
Many regions of Mallorca have been changed beyond recognition by the unholy alliance of avarice, concrete, development and growth. Only a handful of areas were saved in time, mainly thanks to […]
Making Charcoal
Mallorca once was an island abundantly covered in trees, mostly oak trees, and mainly of the Quercus ilex variety (holm oak) if we are to believe the experts. Homo sapiens […]
