Last weekend, we got to escape the gloomy weather of the UK and headed to the sunshine soaked Balearic Island, Mallorca, in the Mediterranean.

It’s known for it’s popular beach resorts, sheltered coves, limestone mountains and Roman and Moorish remains. It’s capital Palma has nightlife, the Moorish Almudaina royal palace and 13th-century Santa María Cathedral. Stone-built villages include Pollença, with its art galleries and music festival, and hillside Fornalutx, surrounded by citrus plantations.
