Fantastic experience: Ola, dear globetrotters ✈ After a long time, I have another tip for a really almost untouched Spanish island, Formentera. Very good food, breakfast, bread, cake, everything your heart desires When I saw this island years ago, I was immediately fascinated by it because it was original. Yes, I was really in love with this beautiful island. Not too overrun with tourists and as far as I know, that should still be the case today. The food is primarily made from regional products, i.e. everything that is fished in the sea and possible in agriculture, made with a lot of love. The accommodations don't matter Whether hotel or apartment, they are all practical and child-friendly, geared towards families. Much of what is needed for food production, the owners have to bring in from the mainland, as there are hardly any water resources here. Water, fresh water is scarce, it is always caught by rainfall, various wells, there are probably no pipes. Maybe that will change one day. Otherwise, the feel-good factor is really important here. On the beach there is a bar with the best cocktails far and wide wide, visiting this is really a must have. Run by a top German bartender. Reserve in good time - as it is usually well frequented. The nature here is unique and the clear water, of course not to forget the beautiful bays with the rugged rocks and for very brave adventurers also the caves, into which you can dive or some even jump off the rocks into the water. Important dear people, athletes, adventurers, such a holiday should bring fun and relaxation, so it is particularly important to be careful with yourself. I don't want to prescribe or teach you anything. It's a pure precautionary thought that results from experience. ❣Tip that has saved many painful experiences and more if you absolutely have to jump from a cave into the water that shines in a fantastically beautiful turquoise blue color - please, please, always bend your legs up to your bottom and straight down when jumping - not with head first!!! How so ? Because you never know how deep the water down there really is 1❣❣ Sometimes it's only 1m or 1.5m deep there and then imagine you jumping head first - you can't imagine what happens then ❣❣So, please always remember, in your own interest, OK. So that it remains a dream vacation and doesn't become a nightmare, OK. ❣Tip 2 Never, never sail out to the caves when there are waves, even if the waves are initially only small, so that you can then climb or jump there! This is life-threatening and I speak from experience, because in the 1980s I saw people there who ignored all good advice and were then taken to the hospital with life-threatening injuries under the most difficult conditions. The shallow waves often turn into storm waves in no time❣ So now back to everyday life there. If you take everything the locals do to your heart and enjoy the holiday, you will draw years from how beautiful the island is, as I did. The climate is dry, little water, lots of sun. I was very happy about how friendly the people are there and how many genuine friendships have developed there. The island is an absolute insider tip from me, you will love it because it is as good as untouched. The crossing from Palma takes about 1.5 hours, sometimes more, sometimes less. Time is relative and on vacation anyway. Have a good time and stay healthy.Buen viaje☀️✈ See you soon.Your local guide Rose Marie wishes you a good flight

Charly 03/06/2019

Fantastic experience: This cafeteria-bakery is located at the entrance to Playa de Aro, coming from Sant Antonio, on the right hand side. It has a large terrace and a few indoor tables, but it also has a small bar in case you just want to have coffee. It is a pleasant, cozy but informal place, where you can have a coffee, lunch or lunch alone, accompanied or in a group. The staff is very helpful and efficient. Sometimes, it depends on what hours they lack staff and it may take a little longer than necessary, although this usually happens in high season. The bread is very good and there is it of all the varieties. The sweets. Very good cakes and chocolates. The coffee is very good. The hot sandwiches, to die for. They are lucky Susana the shop assistant, more kurrante, nice, pleasant, when she is everything works better. The angel hair ensaimada, sorry they don't always have.
