Calmer Majorca
The pool at Barcelo Illetas Albatros Find Sobrassada in markets
and a mineral water...
Far cheaper is strolling through the Santa Catalina food market in Palma.
Here, for a couple of euros, you can sample some of the island’s best produce. There’s plenty of the distinctive red sobrassada sausage hanging up – it’s softer than chorizo and can be spread Magnificent cathedral in Palma on coca, the traditional flatbreads. Getting around to some of the other attractions in Palma can also easily be done by bike. There’s the Gothic cathedral, or the Es Baluard contemporary art museum with works by Picasso and Miró. Leave the hills for the pro cyclists.
After enjoying Palma we retreated to the spa at Barcelo Illetas Albatros hotel, where treatments are reasonably priced.
I indulged in an Ayurvedic massage for €55 on our last day – which meant I felt rather chilled in the departure lounge. Just how a holiday on Love Island should make you feel.
