MALLORCA – Another day in Spain. Today we took a hike in heavy overcast weather that led us through a string of villages to the picturesque small town of Sóller. We should do this type of route more often. Then lunch with some friends.

On this day three years ago (day 669): Storm clouds – we had violent thunderstorms three years ago.
MALLORCA – Another lovely hiking morning. Like most other mornings it started out foggy and cleared as the morning went on. We spent the late afternoon with some new friends and Cap Rocas, a marvelously designed and sited hotel near Palma. I’ve had a lot of trouble editing these on the fly, so sorry for the large volume of images in what is supposed to be a one picture a day project.

MALLORCA – As I’ve noted in a previous post we approached Mallorca with some skepticism. It’s a major, large scale tourist destination, particularly in August. The airport is huge; it’s a major stopping point for cruse ships; Palma is an LA-type urban sprawl. But we have found a unique, quiet corner of the island where there is excellent hiking in chilling. Here we are on a boat ride to a quiet bay and some snorkeling.

MALLORCA SPAIN – Mallorca is not exactly an obvious place to go in August. It’s very, very crowded with essentially all the vacationers in Europe arriving at the same time for the month of August. We’ve come here because there is a lovely hotel that is in an uncrowded and lovely corner of the island, a hotel that is on a close friend’s bucket list. The trip here from Madrid was fine so so far so good. As you will see I’ve had some difficulty editing.

On this day two years ago (day 1,031): Flags project.
MADRID – A sensational day walking around here. Boy has Madrid improved its game. Lively. Colorful. Fabulous food. We’re only here a day on our way to elsewhere, but we’ll return.
