MAJORCA - A LOVELY SUNNY ISLAND TO SPEND YOUR HOLIDAYS




 

Valldemossa village is located in the Tramutana range hills, about 17 km from Palma. There was beautiful green view of mountains everywhere and a lovely village to visit to do some shopping and sightseeing. We went to see the statue that was made for Saint Catalina Thomas, she was born in 15th century in the village of Valldemossa.

                                                                                          
We stayed in Cala d'or and Santanyí, the beach above was closest to our holiday home.
There was clear blue water and sandy beaches surrounded by beautiful nature.

 Cala Figuera.
One of the bays we visited during a boat trip that started from Santanyí and took us to see many lovely beaches and landscapes.




Mondrago natural park is just beautiful. We went for a hike and stopped to meditate and to do some yoga at the top of the hill surrounded by the waves.


 
   Nice way to spend time in the evening.                       Cold Gaspazo soup in a hot day, yummy.                                                                        


 
Cuevas del Drach "Dragon Caves" are formed by water. It was exciting to visit these approximately 4km long dribbling caves near Porto Cristo. Towards the end of the visit there was a short classical concert performed by musicians on boat. Then we could do a short boat trip at the magical underground lake.


Have any of you been visiting Majorca? I felt that there was so much to do and see although this was my third time spending a holiday week there. First two times I was staying close to the capital Palma. : )

SUNNY DAYS AND YOGA AT CANARY ISLANDS PART II

                        Hola a todos! This is the second part of our holidays in Canary Islands. Again I will let the pictures speak their language. It was just amazing to be able to escape the winter in Finland to these beautiful islands for 5 weeks full of sunshine and warmth. I loved to practice yoga by the swimming-pool of our bungalow.    Parivrtta Trikonasana  My favorite part of the breakfast was freshly squeezed orange juice  We stayed one week in these bungalows behind me. It was wonderful to have a little garden of our own and the swimming-pool in our use.  Hugging trees at Puerto Rico, we went there to spend a day at the beach. Me and our baby at the dunes - she had her nap in her Manduca baby carrier while I had a nice walk along the shore.   It seemed as we were in Sahara desert at the dunes.

SUNNY DAYS AND YOGA AT CANARY ISLANDS PART I

Saludos desde las Islas Canarias! Greetings to everyone from the Canary Islands! In this post I let the pictures speak for themselves. It has been wonderful to escape the winter in Finland to these beautiful islands with my family. First we stayed in Las Palmas, close to the Playa de las Canteras. The North end of the beach Playa de las Canteras was for surfers. There was nice, relaxed athmosphere at that end of the beach and some cool restaurants to have some tapas and coffee.  The weather there was a bit cloudy during few days of our one week stay in Las Palmas.   So we went to Maspalomas beach at the south of the island and the weather there was so warm and sunny. It felt great to do my yoga practice at the beach. One day we went to see the old town of Las Palmas. One day we spent in sunny Puerto Rico at the swimming pool where my cousin was staying with her family. We went to Puerto de Mogan for late lunch, that was a lovely and peaceful sm
