More Majorca advice please....

[howtotellmum]

never been..
no DCS- grown up now so prob won't be coming with us...

Want somewhere we cansee a bit of culture, do some hill walking, and have the odd spell on the beach- but not real sun worshippers.

Where is Marjorca would you recommend - thinking of P POl. (seems like everyone else is too!) but also got my eye on Corsica.

This will be a "grown up" hols, so kiddies and buckets and spades are long gone for us..

any suggestions? We like quiet places- no noisy bars, clubs etc etc.

Just spotted your other post - friends are just back from Corsica. They are mad keen walkers and said the walk across the island was the best. They went with a specialist outdoor activities company. Must emphasise that they are 20x fitter than me though, I would probably find it too strenuous!

We love Puerto Pollensa, lots of great bars (not rowdy!!)and restaurants, fab beaches and lovely walk down Pine Walk.

If you want somewhere quieter you could consider Pollensa (inland from PP), or Cala San Vincente (just a bit further North around the coast). Check out puertopollensa.com, and look at tripadvisor for more comprehensive and detailed advice,

I had never envisaged Majorca to be so beautiful, well it is in the North anyway!!

I don't have much experience of Majorca but my advice would be to avoid Alcudia. We drove through on the transfer to our resort, dropping at lots of concrete monstrosity hotels and passing decorative yet stagnant waterways full of rubbish and it looked horrible. Worse than Blackpool.

We stayed in C'an Picafort which is a small resort on the north coast. It was ok, friendly and clean and no loud clubs, but seems to be predominantly visited by German tourists so everything is geared towards them. All the menu boards outside the bars were written in German and much of the entertainment in the bars was German - even the cowboy country and western act.

It is a beautiful island but I would definitely choose another resort to visit.

I'd go to Corsica - loved it there. Simple french food, wild coastline and landscape, not overrun, beautiful beaches, history, great restaurants in the hills inland and beachside. Just perfect.
