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.

    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
