Surprise

Palma, December 2007. Just a few months ago, I spent a weekend on the island of mallorca. I had never been and really never desired to go as I felt this Island was mass-tourism-gone-horribly-wrong. How wrong was I. I stayed at this beautiful hotel, the Portixol, close to Palma, which has the atmosphere of a south american city. Also it has this beautiful beach very close to the city, with a boulevard that stretches for miles. Perfect for biking or blading. Also -how lucky was I?- the weather was perfect, about 23 degrees and sunny. The island was nice and quiet and I am not sure what it will be like in high season. December is absolutely a time of year to return
