I imagine you might need a little break from food after this Christmas season (I hope you had a good one). Therefore I spare you with another recipe and will only give you something for your eyes instead – 30 pictures to be precise, some words (not much more, but I will not count), but no recipe. I promise.
Back in October I spent a week on the Balearic Island of Mallorca (Spain), hiking and exploring the beautiful island. We were based on the North coast between the towns of Valldemossa and Deia, which was a good basis for hikes in the Tramuntana mountains (you will need a car anyway) and the old mountain villages. On the plus side it is also away from the beach resorts :-). Please join me in this visual journey through 7 days of Mallorca:
The island of Isla Dragonera and the old watch tower Torre de Cala en Basset

Hiking up to the ruins of Castell d’Alaro

The arabic gardens Jardines del Alfabia near Bunyola

Olives and mallorquian food everywhere as well as local markets such as the Mercat de L’Olivar in Palma

The cathedral La Seu (Catedral de Santa Maria) in Palma

The little harbour village of Port de Valldemossa:
