Angeline Alexandre Wedding Information Booklet

Not to miss while on the island
Mallorca...
is a rather maligned tourist destination.
Deterred by stories of rowdy German
hordes in Ballermann, the German
nickname for Palma‘s neon-lit beach
party district, Angie steered clear of
Mallorca for years. That is until Alex
came about and set things right.
Alex, blissfully unaware of Ballermann‘s
existence, and always eager for a spot
of sun and sea after years of frigid
Canadian winters, pretty much fell in
love with Mallorca at first sight (as he
did with Angie).
So he craftily set about plotting how to
get his favourite girl off to his favourite
island, and BAM:
Off they went for their first vacation
together as a couple.
His strategy: Food – With a dining
scene fit to rival the most cosmopolitan
cities, Mallorca is a foodie‘s paradise.
Angie, as all who know her can attest
to, thinks about what‘s for dinner before
breakfast.
Mallorca brings back the fondest
memories of us embarking on our lives
together.
With this island as the spectacular
backdrop, we would like to share our
next momentous step with you.
We look forward to a weekend of great
cheer (and food)!
OUR TOP PICKS:
Taking the vintage train from Palma to
Soller (Ferrocarril de Soller)
This little train has been chugging
faithfully along the same route for
more than 100 years. The journey
takes you through almond orchards
as you head out of Palma and along
citrus groves to Soller. Soller itself is a
beautiful small town where we will be
holding up with the families post wedding.
We‘ve got a neat villa with pool
and BBQ – feel free to visit if you‘re
extending your stay!

Serra de Tramuntana drive
Serra de Tramuntana is a mountain
range forming the northern backbone
of the island. Drive from pretty Valldemossa
to the red brick village of Deia.
Carry on, past the spectacular Fornalutx
valley, and tackle the epic hairpins,
twists and turns that lead to Sa
Calobra, where a stunning cove awaits.
Keep going until you reach what feels
like the edge of the world – the Cap de
Formentor and the ocean beyond.

Palma’s Cathedral
Palma’s vast cathedral (‚La Seu‘ in Catalan)
is the city‘s major architectural
landmark. Aside from its sheer scale, its
stunning interior features, designed by
Antoni Gaudí and renowned contemporary
artist Miquel Barceló, make this
unlike any cathedral elsewhere in the
world.

And of course not forgetting the culinary
landscape
Eating out in Mallorca has never been
more exciting, with chefs – inspired as
much by their Mallorquin
grandmothers as Mediterranean
nouvelle cuisine – adding a pinch of
creativity and spice to the city‘s
food scene. Inland restaurants play up
hale-and hearty dishes, such as suckling
pig spit-roast to
perfection, paired with locally grown
wines. On the coast, bistros keep flavours
clean, bright and
simple, serving the catch of the day
with big sea views.
Ombu Tapas Bar & Cocktails (http://
www.ombupalma.com/en/)
Fun, modern tapas. We dined there on
our first visit to Palma and were blown
away.
Forn de Sant Joan (http://www.forndesantjoan.com/en/)
A little bit upscale (Pedro Almodovar
dined here). Reservations recommended.
Mercat de Olivar (http://www.mercatolivar.com/?lang=en)
Gourmet market with food stalls serving
up oysters to sushi.
