Last month I went on a weekend getaway to the island of Mallorca, the largest of Spain's Islas Baleares. It was such a nice trip! The weather was fantastic, and though it wasn't exactly "beach weather," there were times when I didn't have to wear my coat! I went with my friend Meredith and we spent our time day-tripping to some smaller towns in the northern part of the island and spending our evenings in Palma.
My favorite place in Mallorca was a town called Valldemossa. The views were breathtaking, the architecture was cute and ancient, and the roads were windy and made of cobblestone... but another town we visited, Deià, provided us with the most spectacular experience I've ever had. We saw a chicken cross the road! We were sitting on a stone wall waiting for the bus to take us back to Palma when we saw a small black hen walk up to the road, poke around a bit, and eventually begin the journey to cross the road using the crosswalk!! It turns out there was a small slice of orange on the other side that it went to eat. So now we know!
The weekend was full of walking and taking pictures, and the sights were truly amazing. Check out a few of my favorites below or click here to see the full album.
