This blog is to share with you some of my enjoyable times of my life. I talk about things I love to do and adventures I have gone through. I take the liberty to recommend places, activities and food that in my opinion are worth to try.
This is just a tool to help you to make your own decisions when you are ready to go to those places (obviously from my own point of view).
Spanish version: http://igotita-disfrutandodelavida.blogspot.com/
We went to pick up Pochola first, then we walked a bit in Valencia and then we went to this place.
The building is a 3 levels house, all ocupied, at least that´s my impression, by the horchatería. It has different rooms, all very nice, and a great terrance.
Here the video:
The first thing you see at the entrance of Alhama de Aragón, going from the road to Zaragoza, is the Termas Pallares Spa and you have no way to pass it without noticing, because they have 2 buildings at each side of the street, linked by a walkway with the name of the place.
The hotel has a private parking big enough. The reception is not really well indicated, but there is always someone at the parking area that welcomes and indicates you where to go.
At the reception desk gave us the wrong rooms, I mean, the room that should be for Rosa due the reserve code, they gave it to me and vice versa, but that was something we released about just due the name at the envelops of the welcome letter.
I honestly don´t remember if at the reception desk they told us again the prices of the reservation, you see, that´s something I use not to check once at the reception desk when I had a reserve code, to check out the welcome letter neither. But seems from now on this is something I´ll do, among other things, because in the letter of welcome from Termas Pallares, they gave us a coupon of 30 Euros for a future stay if made within six months and also reports of its new loyalty system if you recommend the spa; as well as give you the name of the Director of Operations as contact in case you have any problem not resolved satisfactorily.
The buildings are designed according to the style of the time were built in 1863. The decor of the rooms and halls of both buildings have a mix of styles, but always old. Here some pictures for you to see:
The two hotels share common facilities such as cinema, gym, lounge, restaurant. From all this, I emphasize the cinema, with enough seats in early 1900 style. We didn´t watch any movie, but they scheduled at least one film a day. This seemed an excellent detail especially thinking of the children who can´t (and shouldn´t) go to the spa, so, the hotel for them could be a bit boring, but they have planed things for them.
They also have a kids park and a Paddle field.
The restaurant surprised me with a great breakfast buffet that included eggs in different styles; this is not easy to find in Spain where people don´t have the custom of eating eggs at breakfast time. We had just the breakfast included, but you also can contract it with the dinner included. The first day we went to give a look to the lunch menu there, but it was 27 Euros per person, so we decided to go to explore the village and we found the restaurant Karlos that offers you a great menu that has nothing to envy the restaurant food, for just 14 Euros, but I´ll talk a bit deeper about that restaurant in another post.
What can I tell about the rooms? Very clean, all the needed facilities, well attended. Just that this wasn´t a hotel that made a “click” on me. Telling this in another way, all very ok, but if I should decide to recommend or not the hotel just based on the rooms, no, this won´t be a place I would recommend.
I haven´t seen the rooms at the Termas Hotel, but seems the ones at Parque Hotel are better due they remodeled them not so far away.
This hotel is extremely nice. They have done a great job with the garden, as good as they even charge the entrance to their gardens to people that is not staying with them. Nice swimming pool an d a great outside Jacuzzi with an amazing view. Mayan sauna. Of course they offer all 5 stars hotel services, even massages and other beauty treatments. They use to have very good food at the restaurant, that btw it´s a bit expensive, but the last time I was there (March 2009), was not that good. So, is better to go to the town to eat, but as far as the hotel is not exactly inside the town, sometimes to dress up just for going to eat… well… after all the food is not really bad! ; )(But going for example to "El Tocoyal" could be the half).
I have already talk about this place at the post Atitlan Lake but someone advised me it will be more useful to place them in different posts, so here is it, it contains exactly the same of that post, in case of new comments about this place, I´ll write a new post.
Gloria is a very good friend and also plays Scrabble.
It is still only known in the world of Scrabble in Spain, because she is a woman with no hindrances, she´s passionate about Scrabble but has refused to give the final "I do" you see, she´s at the stage of "going out with others too" Thus, she has also entered the world of swimming, even at the level of competition.
One of the things I like about Gloria is that she is always very positive, she's always telling jokes and encouraging everyone. She´s also highly collaborative ... actually, she´s game for anything! She was one of the main protagonists of the year-end party in León.
Otoh I named her “killing giants” due as I said, she hasn´t pointed out in Scrabble, she goes to tournaments to have fun (and get), is not that the competitive part is what motivates her ... then when one of the "big ones" like Topo or Patxi, play with her, they note relaxed, calm ... and she comes and bam! Win the game! D Okay, not always, not to all, but it usually happens ... hehehe I would say, but without having made any statistics about, that in every tournament that goes, wins one of the favorites.
So, now that you know her a bit better, enjoy the récipe she prepared to us at the year-end party… don´t lose her explanations! Those are very her style! :D
Shrims Cava Killing-Giants Style.
Ingredients:
Shrims middle size – the quantity depends on for how many people it is. Salt, black pepper, olive oil and cava brut. Optional: bread.
Heat theoven, middle temperature. Clean the shrimp (basically shave their mustache). Place in a baking tray (in perfect formation in a single file, without crowding). Season and sprinkle with a little oil.
Drunk with abundant cava but without covering (there do not be layoffs because it raises some of them very fast and can jump from the tray).
Put the tray into the oven. It takes between 5 to 10 minutes to be ready (no more because it can get so dry) and you notice when it´s ready because they are embarrassed and turn red. And ... that´s it!!!
Comment by Gloria: "You see it's no complicated, even I can do it! A big kiss to all and "bon profit" "
Ok, this time the one that says so isn´t me but my friends of the Scrabbalear Club: in Ca´s Busso you get the best Mallorcan food of the island. Right now I just can confirm this due my experience in 3 places (Celler Sa Premsa, Ca N´antuna and this one), yes, definitely this was the best one. But you see… if I have to go to each restaurant to confirm it, I can sacrifice myself! XP
Its situated at the side of a road in Llucmajor, for us it was so easy to get there, but you see, Cris was driving and she knows it quite well, but searching info about the restaurant in internet, seems it´s not that easy to find, so better you to go with a GPS or well written the indications.
This is a countryside restaurant, for going with time to enjoy the Mallorcan food. It´s big, but it´s usually full, so better you to do a reserve. It has a restaurant and terrace areas. We were lucky, the weather was nice, so we ate at the terrace, covered by a ranch-style structure, with antique lamps hanging at various points. The views from the terrace are the countryside and the road.
The food was quite nice. Excellent relation between quality and price, in our case it was a bit less than 20 Euros per person and we even leftover a lot of Brut Rice! A real pity! It was so delicious! Here some examples of what they have at the menu and of what we had ordered:
And the restaurant info: Ca´s Busso: Carretera Cabo Blanco, Km 24, Llucmajor phone: 971123002
We went out Sóller to Fornalutx. Pochola have done a reserve at the restaurant Ca N´Antuna.
As I mentioned, we were very lucky with the weather that weekend. While in the peninsula were storms, we enjoyed the blue skies and almost no wind. We were able to give us the pleasure of eating at the restaurant terrace which has fabulous views out to Fornalutx.
Again we tasted the delicious Mallorcan food, but it was fun seeing them to have name of plates bearing the word soup and then the plate is quite dry ... and rice plates that seem as soups! :D
We tried a little of everything and I liked it a lot, but the Majorcan at the table agreed that it wasn´t the best place to eat the best food Mallorcan, but clearly, the views of the place gave it an extra for which to go. I totally agree! As if I had been sitting there and then I'd got a burger from Mc Donalds! I would have been delighted! (No, I'm no fan of those burgers or that particular spot, that´s why I say this). But not bad either. Except that there are better places to go to eat Mallorcan food, I agree ... but those views!!! :D
Joana and Nuria gave us a demonstration of what appears to be an unofficial sport at Sóller: shot-effect seed of Sóller! ;P
Mari Paz Yllera, also known as Pochola at the Spain Scrabble world, is the current president of the Scrabble Club Scrabbalear. She loves Scrabble, has a great personality and is also a great travel guide! (Hem, no, this is not what she does for living.) :)
Chilli beans
>- 1 kg minced meat (beef, pork or mixed) - 1 green pepper - 1 large onion - 1 can of beer (33cl.) - 1 can of baked beans - 2 packets of chilli - Jalapeño pepper - 1 jar of natural tomato and 1 jar of fried tomato sauce
Cut finely the onion and pepper and mix with ground beef, put everything to a saucepan with a bit of olive oil. When meat is browned, add the tomatoes, two packets of chilli, salt and beer. Cook for an hour and a half. Near the end of the cooking add jalapeños diced and drained beans.
It can be served with rice, potato, in burritos ...
After being at Capuccino San Miguel Xisco and Pochola left us just with Cris for a while. Xisco had to go to pick up Claudia and Pochola to move her car. They told Cris the place to take us.
We went walking, enjoying the county yards and the shops.
Once at the place suggested by Pochola and Xisco… we wondered about how long time ago would be the last time they went… or maybe the point was that they haven´t gone at that time before (it was around 18.00)… because it was a seedy bar, but well, just a seedy bar wouldn´t be a problem actually, but you see, also happens there were just kids with only 16 years or so, rather Gothic, with typical and normal attitudes of the kids this age. We sat anyway but I can imagine that our faces were a poem, but well, everybody was actually quite peaceful and in any case we were the ones not fitting there.
They actually ignored us and we appreciated that. There we discovered there´s something called “gothic lolitas”. We being there for a while waiting Pochola but as far as she was coming late, we preferred to wait her outside.
When they finally came, we went all together to Pochola´s house. Very nice one btw, with a small pool, we also met there her puppy Lola.
We left our belongings in our rooms and… went to play! :D Scrabble, of course! After several rounds, we dine.
Pochola prepared a very delicious chilli, she had already talked us about it in Leon. When we finish the dinner, the visits went out and we all went to bed as good kids… the next day we´ll start early in the morning! :D
The curious part was that we were walking slowly, I was taking pics and videos of the places I liked and when I saw this place I liked so much and filmed the entrance, they were a little ahead of me. I caught them thinking it was a real pity not to go there. They were looking for an address and… yes! It was this! :D
The cafe is in an eighteenth century palace. The building is beautiful and has managed to decorate it with such good taste that only to see it, it´s worth entering. When you arrive in the middle of the main room you get a tray of samples of their cakes. Marble tables in the main hall, some stairs that take you to a small section with a few more tables
We sat right in the space under the stairs and the menu, for a coffee and tea fan like me, was like opening a book of poetry. From evocative names to classics as the expresso, all sounded so good for me. A pity that we had ate a lot in Celler Sa Premsa! The menu of sandwiches and cakes was also so tempting. We must go again! ;P
The music, chill out, was the apotheosis of the moment. Yes, as I explained on other occasions, when I'm in a place whose beauty I get through all the senses, often I feel that instead of walking I´m levitating. This time I was sitting but levitating as well!
Here Cris joined us, she´s also part of the Scrabble Club Scrabbalear. I didn´t know her yet but during that weekend we became friends.
We were there for a while enjoying the place and our beverages. I went to the toilette and… the icing on the cake! In the corridor just before entering the bathroom they had a sample of their music in CDs! They also sell them! No, I did not buy any, but the temptation is big and they also have them for sale on its website. :D
I also discovered it also has a courtyard with a fountain in the middle which should be great for spring time. It's totally different atmosphere.
Here the video:
I definitely will go back there! And I will go to the one that they will open during this spring! This will be located in the Paseo del Borne, which will be decorated by Michael Smith, who was commissioned to redecorate the White House for Obama (yes, yes, I mean the Obama that occupies the White House!)
Pochola had reserved a table at Celler Sa Premsa. The food and the decoration of the place is very traditional, with a bullfighting touch.
We started to delight with the delicious Mallorcan food. If it would depend on me, I would do a tasting menu with what everyone took! ;P It was around 14.30 and Xisco, a Scrabble Club Scrabbalear member, came to join us. I use to play with him on tourneys.
We had been there, eating, talking and laughing for a while. As far as I had taste a bit of everything, I could tell I liked all, but in case I would go back there, I´ll defenetely would ask for the Fideua… a great one!
Walking in Mallorcan streets, we saw a window telling us “come inside!” ;P It was Rialto Living. I just love the concept! It´s a bit difficult for me to give a category to this shop, due it has from cloth to art articles, books, a cafeteria and even a space for art exhibits. Everything with quite good taste! Of course the prices go accordingly, so, a bit expensive.
But my very favorite was the fitting room! You see, I liked quite a lot of things there and thanks God I had the perfect excuse for not to buy anything: “my bag is so small” ;P hehehehe… like I said, from all my very favorite place was the fitting room… we concluded that no matter what you fit on there, you´ll see glamorous yourself! :D watch it by yourself:
The curios part was that Pochola didn´t know this place.
The store is placed where Rialto cinema was… but I better let the owners to tell you this part:
“Founder is Klas Kall, also one of 3 founders and designer of the GANT brand. Co-founder is Barbara Bergman who also works as a grafic designer.
The building was built in the 15th century, and in 1928 they built the theatre Rialto in what used to be the old gardens. Later on it was turned into a cinema.
In July 2007 Rialto Living opened it doors for the first time and now converted into a lifestyle store. Approximately 800 square metres full of fashion, furniture, books, gifts, accessories, art and a Café in Carrer Sant Feliu 3c, Palma de Mallorca.”
And here their presentation video, as far as I wasn´t allowed to continue filming:
Patxi Navarro, the World Champion 2009 of Scrabble in Spanish, Duplicates mode, delighted us one of the nights of the weekend in Leon with his:
TortiPatxi (4 people)
Cut 4 large potatoes in thinly slices. Finely chop an onion and fried both in plenty of olive oil, adding a pinch of salt. The heat shouldn´t be so high, so the potato will be a bit cooked but mostly almost fried. Beat 4 eggs in a large bowl and add a pinch of salt and some finely chopped parsley leaves. Remove the potatoes and onions and mix everything well. Place a teaspoon of oil in a large skillet and let it warm. Pour the mixture and cook over medium heat.
Other variants may change the onion for one or two zucchini (gives it a very spongy texture) or finely chopped tender garlic. You could also add to the beaten egg a half glass of milk.
Thank you Patxi!
I´m afraid the idea about placing recipes at the blog came at the end of that weekend, so I have no pics neither videos, sorry!
Yeap, I know, having that maaaanyyy webs with recipes now, why should I have recipes in my blog as well? Well, first of all, if I should think like that about travels, for example, there wouldn´t be a blog from Igotita at all! :D
This is an idea from our New Year Eve celebration in León. 10 people sharing a flat, a lot of board games having Scrabble as a king, with a tourney on between, city tours, a lot of laughs and good vibes… and excellent food every day! The clue was that, without planning, each person was responsible for giving us a sample one or more of our culinary specialties and it was a complete success!
The idea of having the recipes at the blog came from the typical “give me the recipe!” that usually goes to nowhere. So I thought: “not anymore!” heheheh “we´ll place them at the blog so we all, but also our friends and even other people we still don´t know could also enjoy our creations!” :D
For the professional chefs Reading this posts: even being amateur recipes, they are as good as for being in a good restaurant menu, so, feel free of using them but please at least give a small mention to the author and a small comment at the blog! :D ;P
The restaurant we reserved for lunch time on Sunday 14th. Was Almenara de Catalucia.
Once there Ana María greeted me as if she'd known me a lifetime, that wondered me due we had seen each other just in our first visit there on November. She explained me they had seen my post at my blog and Willy was willing to talk to me. Nice! Hehehe.
We were there a bit early, so we took a snack at the bar. Willy came very excited about the post. I told him I just had been honest. (This is the way it is).
The restaurant was full. We taste new things: octopus, grilled vegetables, rice with mushrooms and shrimp… Mother of God! A delight! As dessert: chocolate cake and a crepe.
I should confess that week, as far as I had car and time, had gone several times to Almenara. This meal is a vice! I insist, after all is good not to have this restaurant close to home! Otherwise I´ll endorse my salary to Willy! ;P
Here some pics:
On Wednesdays Willy has “cocido madrileño”… O H M Y G O D!! I could bet there´s no better one. Curro had tested cocido madrileño of “la Daniela”, that is famous as the best cocido madrileño in Madrid and he told me the savor is very alike, but you can note Almenara´s one has better quality ingredients. Otoh: at La Daniela it costs 21,755 euros, in Almenara 10 euros and we think Almenara´s one is bigger, but in La Daniela they give you more for free if you want.
So! I am about to proclaim myself the No. 1 fan of Almenara! Actually once, eating a risotto, crossed my mind that God exists! And he should be training Willy as his official chef! I only hope that he won´t call him for sooo long for the job! ;P
An especial mention to Ana María and Stefan, the waitress, which even having the restaurant full, always have a smile for you.
We found Asador Escondido at 11870.com. It was with good recommendations and also was in our way back to Los Enebrales.
Even having the indications about how to get there, it was a bit difficult to find (it makes honor to its name!) Burgohondo is a small village, but in a place with a great views.
When we finally arrived there, it was already 16.30 and in Spain the kitchen is usually closed at 16.00. So, Curro went first to ask if it was still possible to eat there. We were lucky; the kitchen was already close but the owner allowed us to stay anyway. From here on, it was like if we would be friends since time ago and he would be willing to show us the best of his cooking! :D
At the beginning we didn´t know the ones attending us were the owner and his son. Since the beginning they were trying to give us good advice about how and how much to order and that is not really usual, so it´s something we appreciate a lot.
At the back of the menu you can read this:
In resume, it says it is a village restaurant, where you will find normal village food, but done with quality products and made with love. You wouldn´t find new creations there, neither they will change your silverware while eating. The place is unpretentious, but with good food and good prices.
The food was great. You can note the good quality of the products. All we ate was nice. Between each dish, Julio and his son went to ask us if it was ok for us and to talk a bit with us about the place and the village. I don´t remember how, we talked about internet, so we told him we found the place due 11870.com and Curro mentioned that I have a blog (I usually don´t like to mention it)… so! From here on it was like if we would be lifelong friends meeting again after a long time! :)
We had been talking a long while and we also asked him about a recommendation for going to din that night. He also told us some nice tourism places.
We continued with our travel, delighted to have known that place.
After San Martín de Valdeiglesias we went straight to Avila, but at the road, just few kms. away of the city, we found this simple but nice Sanctuary:
It was very cold and even the water of the fountains, which was still running, started to create very pretty ice designs.
It wandered me to find there a 3 tellers restaurant, “Nuestra Señora de Sonsoles, Posada Real, Restaurante”. We went inside, it has 2 areas: one as a formal restaurant and the other one is a cafeteria. Both are nice. They have a dolls collection at the cafeteria plus great views to the city.
It was a very attractive place for eating, but we weren´t hungry already, so we just take a tea and a coffee. All the staff was very kind.
We also noticed there was a rural hostel that seemed to be new, just we haven´t went inside. We continued our ride.
I went with Curro to the Resort & SPA Los Enebrales, on Friday afternoon, but the traffic was ok. Following the instructions of the web, it´s easy to find the country state where is located the hotel. Just you have to pay attention after Almorox, the sign to enter in the proper road is easy to lost.
The country state is big and in the middle of nowhere (you have 4 kms. at the road just to find out the entrance of the road that goes to the hotel, more or less 2 kms. more). Inside the country state is just the Resort that has only one restaurant.
At the reception desk, chocolates and champagne were waiting us. I can´t tell if this was a special detail due Saint Valentines or if it´s always like that.
The facilities are nice and cozy. Maybe the only one detail I would improve is that there is no lift, ok, it´s just 1 floor, bus as far as they also have not bellboys, you should carry on your bags by your own and if you haven´t pay attention to that detail while preparing your bag, you could spoil the relaxing weekend carrying your bag at the end.
The lounge, nice, when we arrived it was already night, the chimney was already on, as far as we went straight to leave the bags at the room and then back to the lounge, we were lucky to find out the sofa in front of the chimney free. We drink a tea there, watching the fire and went to meet the rest of the hotel after that. When we came back to the lounge, we released we had been lucky before! There was a silent fight for that sofa the whole night! :)
The terrace was precious; no doubt in summer time would be so nice to watch the sunset there.
Our room was a normal double one. Very warm, everything very modern, plasma tv, electric heating. I think due the design of the hotel, all the rooms have a nice view.
There are also suits with Jacuzzi, but maybe because I have a whirlpool bath at home, I didn´t thought the price different was worth to pay for having that kind of room. Here you have the rates to know perfectly what I´m talking about (and remember you have to add the 7% of tax to those prices):
Talking about rates, I should confess this time was a bit difficult for me to know how to approach this post. On one hand our stay there was very, very nice and all the staff were so kind, always with a smile at their face and good manners, great people… but on the other hand, talking about the relation between price and quality (the hotel, the activities, the place…) well… to recommend it or not to recommend it? That´s the point! :/ Well, now I´ll continue talking about the hotel and at the end of this post I´ll talk about this part.
The SPA, from outside and without going inside at all during that night, seemed very well, but I´ll talk about the experience there in another post.
The restaurant, very well atended, prices: normal ones for a Resort, but for me, high, especially if you take into account it was the only one place for eating inside the county state. Above this paragraph you´ll find some prices for having a better picture of it (the pics are for the room service, but don´t think the difference with the restaurant was so obvious). So, let´s do some calculations: let´s suppose you spend in average 30€ per person, per eating time, the breakfast is included and I´m thinking about not drinking so much wine or eating sometimes just a sandwich; 30€ x 4 = 120€ per person, just for food, for a weekend. And you still need to add the 7% of taxes! Yes, sure! You can also go to eat to Almorox, for example, just that you should drive to go there and if you were planning a relaxing weekend forgetting about driving and other urban life things, that´s why you selected a place in the middle of nowhere, isn´t it? But ok, you always can take your own sandwiches with you! ;P
There are also snacks at the lounge, the price of a sweet snack plus coffe is 4.5€.
The country state itself offers big spaces for walking, the landscape is this one:
You also have an events room out of the hotel, nice and with a capacity for 600 people. They seemed to be specialized on weddings and I could bet it´s the best place at that area for that. If that would be for me, I know other places with prices alike that would be nicer for me, or at least more charming, but in case I would live at that area and I wouldn´t like my guests to go far away of home, definitely that would be my option. (But take into account that actually I haven´t search).
A curious detail: they have ostriches there! :D
As activities, inside the county yard, as I said: walking, watching the ostriches, reading, playing board games (they have), the SPA (Note! You can´t use the swimming pool besides you pay for a SPA session!). Out of the place and thinking about not going so far away, there´s a paintball, just that I´m not exactly sure if a paintball does match with a relaxing weekend. You also can do a route at the closer locations (as we did!) ;)
Here the video of the hotel:
Just being there I was relaxed enough. Watching the prices of the restaurant and the SPA, we decided to go out the whole Saturday, with not a real plan, where the road to takes us :D (I love that!), we reserved a night SPA for Saturday at 23.00 and after drinking a Pedro Ximenez (it’s one of the few alcoholic drinks I like) with the fire light; we went to sleep.
On Saturday morning we´d waked up with no hurries. Went to breakfast, I liked a lot the presentation of it but you had no options, I mean, it was a fixed menu and you can´t ask for something different, but I think if you prevent them that you need a special food, they will do for you. I liked it, besides it was obviously not for diets! :)
Note: this is a breakfast just for one person!
So, now let´s go back to the part if I would or not recommend the hotel. This time I´ll divide it by concepts and not taking a lot into account the SPA area (that I´ll talk about in another post).
But first let me continue doing sums: we said just for food, eating there, staying 2 nights, talking about having lunch and dinner, no snacks (or having a snack and afterwards taking just a sandwich), it was 120€ per person. For the room, including breakfast, 2 nights in a normal double room, is 110€ per person. Till here: 230€ per person… but! You should add the taxes! Including them, it´s 246,10€ per person…. And remember! We haven´t even touch the water of the swimming pool!
So, if I recommend or not this hotel would depend on the following situations:
- You go there because you want to be a couple of days isolated from the world, almost not going out of the room (I leave this for your own interpretation…) ;) and as much going time to time to play something at the lounge, maybe a walk to watch the ostriches: well, not, I don´t recommend it to you. I know other places close to Madrid, Avila or Toledo with better options and prices.
- You want to organize a company event, the kind of going to do activities to encourage the comradeship and that, maybe even having the whole hotel just for you and not giving the people the temptation of escaping of there… Yes, in this case I recommend it, but if you let me think and search a bit more in google, maybe I found you other nice places with better prices! ;P
- You want to enjoy a good SPA, a couple of days for relaxing, romance and pleasure for the senses: no, I wouldn´t recommend you this place then, I´ll explain better why in the SPA post, but resuming, the same: I can recommend you nicer places with a better SPA quality and the same or even better prices.
- You are looking for impressing someone, that has no real idea about SPAs, showing her/him also that money is not a problem for you, maybe due you are seducing her/him and being isolated from the word is a plus for you ;P Yes! This is your place!
- You are looking for a place for your honey moon, you don´t think you will go out of your room so often, the price is not important for you and you want to ensure a very well attention, with all the facilities for making it a unforgettable experience… and the SPA is just anecdotic for you both! Actually just to have the SPA area just for you 2 (or almost), for a night, with candles and champagne: Yes! This is your place!
Following my story, as I mentioned, the idea was to go out the whole day, where the road led us! :D It was a great day, winter one, of course, that means we had 3 degrees but you see, something I love about Spain is that even in winter time you have blue skies and a shining sun. We were lucky to have a day like that! :D
Gloria is a very good friend and also plays Scrabble.
Shrims Cava Killing-Giants Style.
Ok, this time the one that says so isn´t me but my friends of the Scrabbalear Club: in Ca´s Busso you get the best Mallorcan food of the island. Right now I just can confirm this due my experience in 3 places (Celler Sa Premsa, Ca N´antuna and this one), yes, definitely this was the best one. But you see… if I have to go to each restaurant to confirm it, I can sacrifice myself! XP
Mari Paz Yllera, also known as Pochola at the Spain Scrabble world, is the current president of the Scrabble Club Scrabbalear. She loves Scrabble, has a great personality and is also a great travel guide! (Hem, no, this is not what she does for living.) :)
Cut finely the onion and pepper and mix with ground beef, put everything to a saucepan with a bit of olive oil.
After being at Capuccino San Miguel Xisco and Pochola left us just with Cris for a while. Xisco had to go to pick up Claudia and Pochola to move her car. They told Cris the place to take us. 
After eating at Celler Sa Premsa, Pochola and Xisco led us to Capuccino San Miguel. We went walking (no more than 10 minutes).
