Passing time in Soller
Mid summer in Soller and the celebrities are here in droves. Rock stars, actresses, actors, footballers, business tycoons and the rest of us all enjoying the same sun, sea and awesome scenery. It’s the time when you walk up the main street of Soller or down by the harbour and do a double take. Was that really Michael Douglas I passed or is that really tall guy over there Peter Crouch?
Try market day in the walled town of Alcudia
Alcudia is one of those towns that many visitors to Mallorca don't visit. It sits on the north of the island and unless you are staying in Pollenca, or more likely the nearby beach resorts of Port d'Alcudia or Port d Pollenca, you probably won't make it to the town as it seems too far away.

A photogenic city with hundreds of beauty spots calling out to be snapped

Following your nose is always a great method of exploration, however, there are some iconic spots you really won't want to miss. With blue skies trending over summer and the sun shining, don't be surprised if you end up tagging half your photographs #nofilterneeded!
Pollenca’s premier art gallery housed in a beautiful 17th century convent
A trip to Pollenca cannot be complete without a trip to the Pollenca Museum, especially since you get a two for one visit, where you can split your time equally over the exhibits inside and also the building in which the museum is housed.
A great place to go for a quiet stroll around the nature reserve
S’Albufera is the largest and most important wetlands in the Balearic Islands, a bird watchers paradise and a peaceful place to wander.
The lazy days of summer are here. The weather is perfect if you like it hot and steamy and it hasn't rained in weeks. Visitors and locals gather on the beaches and the routines of summer establish themselves. Get up early, do your chores and then let the day unfold. A little walk to the Soller square, collapse with an iced coffee and local gossip and that's it until the sun loses its heat. At least that's how it was but now it's all change. There is a huge amount of action in the Soller streets and opening parties galore. Men in suits and bottles of Cava tell you that this summer isn't going to offer the indolent respite of previous years. There is a frisson of excitement as, one after another, the big hitters arrive in town ready to make their mark. Alarm bells are ringing and worries abound that this could be the end of the Soller we know and love. Come on friends, don't be worried. They are only estate agents after all.
The Jumeriah Hotel begins to take shape
The blue skies of January have been such a treat. Endless sunshine and lunchtime temperatures worthy of spring. The hidden valley of Soller is always beautiful but right now the clear light of day and the tiny sliver of moon at night make it stunning. We haven't had to think about umbrellas or boots as we make our plans for walks or winter picnics. It's all change today and the excitement gathers. The locals greet each other with dire warnings of snow, rain and plummeting temperatures.
