Drive Majorca – 5 | Alcudia, Ses Paisses & Caves of Arta

 

Alcudia, Majorca

So, the Torres takeover of the Thomson travel blog has finally drawn to a close.

Alcudia, Majorca

This past week, my driving guide to Majorca has featured on the holiday giant’s website. The idea was to try and show a different side to the island, away from the tourist masses and the package resorts.

Ses Paisses, Majorca

More Ses Paisses, Majorca

Anyhow, here’s the final instalment, which features the Moorish town of Alcudia, the Stone Age remains of Ses Paisses and the incredible subterranean wonder that is the Caves of Arta.

Drive Majorca, Day 4 | Port Andratx, Andratx & St Elm

Port Andratx, Majorca

Merci Thomson for posting my Majorcan itineraries on your travel blog this week.

St Elm, Majorca

Here’s the link to my penultimate guide. In today’s post, I make a beeline for the yacht-filled marina at Port Andratx, the market town of Andratx and the oh-so pretty bay of St Elm.

Drive Majorca – Day 3 | Lluc & Pollensa

Lluc Monastery

Well, it’s day 3 of my takeover on the Thomson travel blog. I feel like a mini-celeb, particularly today as they’ve stuck up a pic of my ugly mug on the homepage. Eek!

Pollensa

Today’s post sees me chart another scenic driving route across Majorca – this time ticking off the north of the island. Ports of call include Lluc Monastery and the Roman town of Pollensa. Enjoy…

Drive Majorca – Day 2 | Soller, Deia & Valldemossa

Deia, Majorca

Yesterday saw my guide to Majorca go live on the Thomson travel blog. Woop! Woop!

Soller, Majorca

Part deux was posted today. The second instalment sees me tick off the island’s trio of too-pretty-by-half towns, namely Soller, Deia and Valldemossa.  

Valldemossa, Majorca

Interestingly, the latter was the shack d’amour of the composer Frederick Chopin and his French bit of fluff, Madame George Sand. For the full lowdown, read the complete guide here…

Star Billing On The Thomson Blog | Drive Majorca – Day 1, Palma

Driving around Majorca in my Fiat 500

I’m rather excited. Reason being, an article I wrote is the headline post on the Thomson travel blog. Earlier in the year, I jetted off to Majorca – or Mallorca if you’re posh – for a little tripette. While I was there I devised some driving routes around the island which I road tested – literally. They’ll be featured on the Thomson blog over the course of this week. Today sees me tick off Majorca’s chic captial, Palma. Oh, and I wax lyrical about Fiat 500s…
