what I meant was that, it was busier years ago before all the foreign package holidays started, that's a fact for all British seaside towns, no one need feel guilty about going anywhere, it started decades ago!  :)

Reminds me of the 1974 sitcom Don't Drink the Water, starring Stephen "Blakey" Lewis and Pat Coombs. It was a sequel to On The Buses, when "Blakey" retired to Spain.

I've only been to Mallorca once and stayed in Puerto Pollenca but hired a car and saw a lot of the north part of the island. We drove to Soller one day and caught that rickety old tram down to Puerto Soller which is another nice resort.  Hope that you've had a great holiday and taken many photos Hollins.   I'd love to be able to go back there as it was such a nice Island.

 $thanx$ to Hugo for your interest. The Soller tram trip is lovely. Not done it this time though. I hope you are able to visit the island again before too long. I was shopping in Palma today. Here are a few photos of this very attractive city.

It is quite tidy in Palma, plus there are great Tapas bars, and a jazz club called The Voyager.
I loved it there.

Maybe this is more in your line.........watching the fishermen mending their nets and a walk along the harbour wall in Cala Ratjada followed by a vist to a busy market at Arta where there was a spanish double of the Llandudno Emporium......herbal remedies and soaps!!!!      :laugh:

Hey !  What a great market stall...
I bet he doesn't stock any photographic prints of Llandudno, created by The Great, (cough, splutter) David Roberts?
