REDISCOVER MAJORCA
Written by Kirsty & Nuria
Our family owners started selling holidays to Majorca back in the
1960’s. Whilst much has changed, the island still holds a special
place with us Brits. We take a look at some of the hidden secrets
discovered recently...

ART LOVERS PARADISE
A WALKERS PARADISE
This special one week trip has all of your
accommodation and bikes taken care of as
well as luggage forwarding, so all you have
to do is follow the provided route from A

tourists experience, and cycling here is a
true delight. Quiet lanes wind their way
through the patchwork patterns of ancient
farms, linking agricultural villages that
reveal Mallorca’s genuine face. 7 nights
from £898 per person + flights.

Majorca is well known for its natural
beauty, but did you know it is also resident
to a range of artists including Alan Hydes
who resides at Belmond’s La Residencia
in Deia (pictured above). Enjoy a private
painting class with Alan or wander the
hotels grounds, home to a range of
sculptures by Juan Waelder who also holds
workshops for adults and children. There
are also ceramic classes and a walking art
tour on offer, ask Kirsty for more details.
You are sure to be amazed by the drama
of the scenery of north-west Mallorca.
The rugged mountains of the Tramuntana
Sierra plunge into the sea, and villages
perch precariously on the slopes above
tiny coves. This self-guided 7 night walking
holiday explores old paved mule tracks
through wooded valleys, between terraces
of olive and citrus groves, and high above
the coast. From £830 per person + flights.
Breakfast daily, 1 picnic & 1 dinner with
luggage transport also included.
