Page 1 of I`m off to Majorca.........

Puerto Pollensa to be exact! The wife & I have booked it for 1 week commencing 29th September.

Has anyone been there before? We did go to Palma Nova last year for our honeymoon so if it`s anything like that we`ll be well happy?

Also where`s the best place to go for a pint? 8)

Go there every Easter (past six years) Very nice place. Marina, beaches,shops & restaurants.

Food shopping
Cabrabo supermarket. Heading away from the Marina on the road to Pollenca old town on the roundabout. Also lots of small Spars dotted about if you don`t need a big shop.

Food
During the day, all the restaurants/cafes alaong the front serve food & drinks. Of an evening there are lots of restaurants in or around the square, like Tango & Centric. Probably anywhere apart from the Dakota Tex Mex (has a red indian statue outside) At the roundabout at ther marina, there is a good Chinese restaurant on the first floor, above a clothes and a perfume shop. The Codfather chippie does nice fish and chips and sunday roast

Drinks
We hire a villa, so we only go out for meals. The only time I go out for a drink, is to watch the football, usually at either O`Hara`s (Stella on draught) or Mulligans. There are other bars dotted around

Shops
Usual perfume, jewellery & leather shops. Plus the typical shops selling tat and tacky spanish dolls and matadors to take home.

On Sunday mornings there is a market in the old town and in the square on a Wednesday. Good for clothes, jewellery, leather goods, friut & veg etc.

We keep on going back, so it can`t be that bad. It`s not a Magaluf, but not a ghost town either. You should have a great time.

Go to www.pollenca.com, it will give you all the info you need, including forums (a bit more civilised than this one)

Any questions just ask

Thats a massive help so thanks for that! We are happy that it`s not a Magaluf as we are only after a nice quiet , relaxing week. We`ll be leaving on the Saturday so our first full day will be the Sunday when we can have a wander round that market. That will be a good way to get our bearings also.

Once again many thanks..... :)

Incidentally , apparently there is a boozer called `Dels Bar` or something like that. I`ve heard it`s good for live football matches and the such. Has anyone had a drink in there and if so what`s it like....?

Could well be a "Dels Bar", as I said, I only watch the football in one of the 2 Irish bars. Or if you`re getting your wires crossed, you might mean "Trotters Bar", as in Only Fools & Horses. It`s down one of the side streets along the front, on the Alcudia road. The yellow 3 wheeled Robin Reliant parked outside will give it away.

Thats the one! thats what I have heard. It was something to do with Only Fools & Horses so it must be the Trotters Bar. I`ll be giving that one my custom.....! ;)
