In the Northeast of Mallorca there is a hidden vineyard which probably produces the best wine on the island. From Palma we followed initially the highway to Manacor and from there we continued to Colonia Sant Pere.

Even though the island of Mallorca offers a fantastic variety of activities like hiking, wine tasting, spelunking and a lot more, my favorite activity during this current situation is sailing. It gives me the impression of limitless freedom. Being able to set sail and forget about our situation for a moment or two is priceless.… Continue reading Feeling free…
