August 6, 2011 by Zoe Dawes 7 Comments
So much has been written about Palma, the elegant capital of Majorca, in the Spanish Balearic islands, that it seems superfluous to add too much, so here are some photos with a few words to explain why I chose them. Hidden in a tiny street behind the cathedral the Arab...

The Caves Of Drach & Porto Cristo

July 31, 2011 by Zoe Dawes 9 Comments
One of the most popular tourist sights on Majorca is the Caves of Drach and I must admit to feeling a bit wary going there as so many of these places are a disappointment. Certainly the queues for the ticket office didn’t augur well, but once inside … … I...

They came hurtling down the mountain side scattering rocks and debris along the way.  As we edged our way closer to the side, they butted each other in their excitement at our arrival. “When they see us coming from top, they rush down because they know we’ll feed them some...

The Isle of Man: Another Country
