A Holiday in Formentor, Mallorca, Spain.1958
We set off from Limoges in South West France and drive down to Barcelona, Spain to board (with our car) the Ciudad De Barcelona ship destination Mallorca (Majorca) which is one of Spain’s Balearic Islands in the Mediterranean. It’s known for beach resorts, sheltered coves, limestone mountains and Roman and Moorish remains. Capital Palma, the Moorish Almudaina royal palace and 13th-century Santa María Cathedral. Stone-built villages include Pollença, with its art galleries and music festival, and hillside Fornalutx, surrounded by citrus plantations.
We then spend our summer holiday in Formentor which is a pine-covered peninsular which is the most northerly point on Mallorca. A dramatic landscape where the Serra de Tramuntana drops into the Mediterranean, it’s long been famed for its solitude and pretty, secluded beaches.
Great times never to return!
