what a wonderful mobil work opportunity from the spanish holiday island mallorca.
i used to work 1, 2 or even 3 weeks a year from premantura (istria, HR) in a 2 room appartment the last few years. this time we have decided to try the hotel cala fornells close to peguera (sometimes paguera) in mallorca, spain, ES. as my wife was already 3 times in that hotel few years ago, we knew the mobile work would function fine ...
despite plenty of work, there is still some vaccation aspect here as i can go to swim in the sea before breakfast, in my lunch break, after work ... i couldnt be all day at the beach, anyway. and yes, there is a weekend too!
today (saturday) we've just visited a small beach in forest area just 15 minutes away from our hotel. we could swim nicely as there were no motor boats almost all the time, i tried out my old snorkeling equipment and after that collected 2 bags of (mostly plastic) trash ... later rested a lot ... so a really nice day for a nature&environment pretection activist, wouldnt you say? well, for tomorrow we have booked an organized day trip to the capitol palma and to the small hills in the northwest of the island around valldemossa ... and the next werkend we've had a rental car and visited the unesco heritage mountains of serra de tramuntana and its hills + cliffs + cities soller, sa calobra, ....
our stops this time:
- cala fornells bay
- calo del monjo bay
- peguera / paguera
- valldemossa (best known as the stay for the french baroness george sand and her lover, the polish componist frederik chopin)
- santa maria del cami (nothing special out there. we have just visited a weekly market, i liked more its church)
- aristocratic family's rural house / castle
- (there was the rafael 'rafa' nadal's tennis academy in manacor, but we've just drove beside it)
- porto cristo caves
- palma, the capital of mallorca & the baleares islands. btw, that name comes from the sligshot weapon as the mallorquines were masters of throwing small stones with their ropes at their enemies ...
