Hi Snowboarder

Pollenca and Port de Pollenca are brilliant. I am very biaised as we bought a place there last year, but I can honestly say this area is the most fantastic place for young families. Beautiful safe beaches, family friendly eateries, short flight, fabulous scenery and Pollenca itself is a stunning medieval town. We met families we knew on the flights out and back this summer - everyone loves this area. I am not trying to flog you our villa (its fully booked to early Oct), but if you look at my website you will see more details about the area. www.villapascali.com.

Best of luck

How strange - we're heading off there on Sunday! We went while I was pg and remember thinking it would be fab fir kids as the beaches were all amazing and loads of kids playing on the beach at night while parents eat. Not sure how old your kids are but would recommend the caves and palms well worth a visit too. There's a lovely old train which ru z from Palma to soller. Beautiful walks round tramentura(?) area too.


So

I was just about to recommend a trip to Soller too. I love Mallorca, although have never visited Pollenca, but if you were looking for a short excursion, I would recommend driving down to Soller (lovely old town, slightly inland) and then getting on the tram from there to Port de Soller, which is the seafront. The tram is wooden and open-sided and trundles down through what look like people's back gardens, some orange groves and then along the seafront once it reaches the coast. We enjoyed it pre-kids, but I think kids of any age would be enthralled. There's some more info here - hope this link works:

We went in June with our two girls, they enjoyed all the nearby beaches: the pine walk beach area of port de pollenca, the beaches on the formentor peninsula, cala st vicente. We also visited lluc monastery which was lovely, with a beautiful walk through the botanical gardens. Enjoy. Cannot wait to go back!

Ooh yes we went there in June, it's beautiful and perfect for kids. On our last night we caught a little show on the main square for kids, characters dressed up on stilts etc and ended in a little parade. I think it was on every night, around 8pm, definitely worth checking out!


The restaurants are all very child friendly which was convenient as we have a very active 18 month old! Best tapas we had was one of the restaurants on pine walk which runs along the beach, I forget the name but they also did ice cream outside, the last restaurant on the left if you're looking at the beach.


Also nice cocktails at a bar which juts into the water, think it was part of hotel Bahia, we managed to have a whole one each in quite a civilised manner before LO got bored and it was time to move on!


Enjoy!

Snowboarder, in Porta Pollenca I'd recommend La Llonga restaurant which is just before the yacht club.


If you've got a car book Es Guix in the mountains - restaurant with fabulous mountain pool - spring water - cold/refreshing! Book & ask about suckling pig in advance - Sundays or Mondays only I think. Well worth the drive up thru the mountains.


We went round the island on the boat this year so tried lots if new restaurants in various ports, they were all great!


Oh, Stay restaurant on the front in PP also amazing food & service, if facing the sea it's to the right of the yacht club/harbour about 5-10 minutes walk.

    • I have to say, I too am upset about the passing of DulwichFox. He was a real local character, who unlike me, managed to stick with ED despite all of the nauseous yuppification of the last three decades. R.I.P to foxy    Louisa. 
    • How long is a piece of string? AI was a bit rubbish on this one, but Checatrade : average cost to paint a house exterior is around £30 per square metre So depends on the size, access, time to put up scaffolding and cost of hiring and building that, surface preparation, and quality of materials.   Checkatrade put it at £2.5 k for average semi, that sounds a little cheap.
    • Wow what a lot of reactionary stuff going on here.  Even by the high bar set by others on the EDF. So let's start with the title.  I thought wrong season for leaves on the pavement.  A bit late for ice, but it can still happen.  We all know about uneven pavements and tree roots.  Oh my word, perhaps Zombie apocalypse or sink holes.  Those damned Lime bikes?  But no, a four year old. The streets are rightly or wrongly full of kids scooting and cycling to schools in the morning.  Would or could a four year old cause a serious injury hitting an adult, perhaps but unlikely.  I'd rather a child on two wheels on the pavement than a car driving them to school. As said we are judging this on the original post.  We were not there.  We can not speculate. How this is victim (were you really a victim?) blaming, I don't know. How my response, similar to the previous two, is revolting, heavens knows. There is a serious conversation to be had about middle class parents.  My they can be annoying. And similarly for teenagers, adults, in particularly illegal ebikes including delivery riders, on the pavements, There are threads on the latter on here already.   But a four year old?  Really?? PS off to watch Newsnight and some more serious matters.
