Beautiful Mallorca!

 

 

 

Anyone who reads this blog will know that I love Spain with a passion!  So I was greatly looking forward to a three night trip to beautiful Mallorca, one of the loveliest islands in the entire Mediterranean.

Our EasyJet flight touched down in glorious sunshine late Friday afternoon. By the time we’d settled into our comfortable rooms at the Hotel Bon Sol Resort & Spa in Illetas, a small resort a short drive from Palma, the weather had deteriorated. Saturday was unseasonably cool and cloudy and it rained on and off for most of  Sunday. Fortunately, we enjoyed warm  sunshine on Monday before our flight home.  Despite the inclement weather, we had a fantastic weekend, staying two nights in the charming Bon Sol and one night at the chic Hotel Tres in the centre of Palma.

 

The Bon Sol has been owned and run by the Xamena family for over 60 years.  Current owners Martin and Lorraine Xamena were away when we arrived, leaving  son Alejandro to look after us. Alejandro was the perfect host and great company too, giving us a tour of the property and joining us for lunch and dinner.
