Ideas for days out in Majorca

February 7th, 2011 admin

Ideas for days out in Majorca.

Well known for its sun, sea and sangria, Majorca has been popular with British tourists for decades.  The glorious beaches draw the masses year after year in the main resorts and it’s easy to see why, but if you did want to get out and about, what are the top excursions to enjoy on the island?  Let’s take a look:  –
•    Palma and its cathedral.  Take a visit to the island’s upmarket capital, Palma, with its stunning yachting marina.  The area is overlooked by the dominating La Seu cathedral which has a beautiful gothic design.  The cathedral was finally completed in 1601 after over 300 years worth of construction and was then altered internally by Gaudi at a later date.  Definitely worth a visit!
•    The orange blossom trail.  Described as easily the most popular excursion in Majorca, you get the opportunity to travel onboard the ‘Orange Blossom Express’, a famous wooden train, from which you will be able to view an array of remarkably picturesque landscapes that include pine mountains, gorgeous villages and colourful citrus groves.  You get the chance to step back in time also, when you visit a Majorcan country mansion.
•    Inca Market.  Visit this vibrant market in the centre of the island.  You will find it a great experience that the whole family will enjoy and it will give you a real insight into the local culture.  The market is renowned for selling locally produced leather goods that you can buy very reasonably.
•    Caves of Drach.  A magical series of caves set on the beautiful east coast where you’ll discover a world of grottoes and lakes.  Become accustomed with the array of ‘stalagmite’ and ‘stalactite’ formations which are incredible to see.
Hopefully this article will give you a few ideas on what to do for any future holidays to Majorca that you may plan on travelling on.  The main season to travel to the island is the summer season that lasts between May and October.

Magical Marrakech seduces the senses

Magical Marrakech seduces the senses

1) There’s never a dull moment at Djemaa el Fna

The excitement of the Marrakech night market alone will keep you going back again and again.  As the best dinner spot in the entire city, the Djemaa el Fna is where all of Marrakech congregates to finish the day and it’s non-stop entertainment at each turn.  Wisemen tell stories, magicians show you their tricks, henna tattooists are always at the ready, performers, musicians, acrobats, snake charmers, and sneaky little monkeys – there’s never a dull moment.

2) Sophisticated, stylish & sexy: La Sultana Hotel

There’s something sexy and exciting about staying inside the ancient walls of the Marrakech medina.  La Sultana Hotel is a secluded refuge from Marrakech’s busy streets, and once you step into this exotic sanctuary, you’ll never want to leave.  Hailed as a Great Hotel of the World, the impeccably designed hotel is made of five smaller uniquely designed riads.  Guests can relax on a handful of terraces, take their pick of four pools located throughout the property, stay in the exotic Elephant or Zebra themed rooms, or catch a meal on the rooftop restaurant overlooking Marrakech’s Kasbah district. For more information on La Sultana or to book, visit Great Hotels of the World

3) Get scrubbed down at a hammam

When Japan, you visit the hot springs; when in Turkey, you visit the Turkish baths; and when in Morocco, you visit the hammam.  Visit a private hammam or hotel spa for a more upscale and costlier version; or head to the public hammam where you’ll find locals.  First, you’ll get doused with warm-hot water to help open up your pores.  Next, you’ll be lathered with black Moroccan soap.  Finally, the hammam finishes with a scrubbing-down so intense and exhilarating, you’ll leave with a new skin.

4) Moroccan delicacies: Exotic or bizarre?

When it comes to exotic foods in Morocco, it doesn’t get any scarier or more bizarre than eating a lamb head.  Part brisket chunks, part tendon and bones, and part fish-like gelatinous bits, it’s a delicious delicacy that even I couldn’t help tasting – and liking.  Served at the Djemaa el Fna at night, the best lamb head stall is the first corner stall perpendicular to the snail stalls.  The chef here is as hardcore as it gets and truly passionate about his food.  Besides the lamb head, he makes a killer lamb tajine that will keep you going back.

5) Bargaining for spices and goods at the souks

If you’re looking to visit the market, be sure you brush up on our guide on How to Bargain & Haggle at the Market (go to TripAtlas.com) for the best results.  Specialties to watch out for: cactus silk scarves, cashmere scarves, little camels for your mantlepiece, dried dates/fruits, leather pillow and ottoman cases, and carpets.  For spices, be sure to pick up a bag of the Moroccan 5-spice, Moroccan curry spice, some ground cinnamon, and saffron.

How to Travel for Free After Graduation (Almost

How to Travel for Free After Graduation (Almost!)

There’s apparently no such thing as a free lunch – so if that’s the case, is there such a thing as free travel? Well, you might still need a credit card on hand, but it is possible to still see the world, even if you have got mountains of student debt hanging over you:

Teaching English abroad


Want to spend 6-12 months getting paid to spend time in amazing places around the globe? Sounds a little far fetched, but there’s a massive demand for certified TEFL teachers, everywhere from Indonesia to Italy. You’ll need to spend a few hundred quid/dollars getting a TEFL certificate, but with 2 billion people learning English around the world, the opportunities are huge.

Contrary to popular opinion, you don’t need teaching experience, you don’t need to speak the local language and sometimes you don’t even need a degree. There is the snag that you’ll still need to pay for flights and vaccinations. However, some schools will reimburse you the costs of your flights when you finish your 12 month contract, and some will even pay for your ticket upfront. So, with a little bit of penny-watching you could come home with money in the bank.

For more information about how to make it happen download your free Graduate’s Guide to Teaching and Travelling Abroad: http://www.onlinetefl.com/graduates.


Working holiday in Australia


OK, so this is hardly free – flights to Australia cost upwards of ?600, but once you’re there you can keep your costs down by working as you go. Luckily the Aussie economy hasn’t suffered as badly as the UK’s in the recession, so there are plenty of jobs around for bright-eyed backpackers. Most people who get a year-long working holiday visa spend six months or so working in one of the big cities then another six months moseying around the country burning through the money they’ve earned. So, not free, but certainly a blast.

For more details check out http://www.immi.gov.au/visitors/working-holiday/.


Volunteering on a farm


If you’re hankering after the simple life, how about working on an organic farm? WWOOF (http://www.wwoof.org/) sets people up with farmers around the world and your hard labour (generally around 4-6 hours/day) pays for a roof over your head and food. The experience isn’t always trouble-free: some farms are very remote and it’s generally a surprise as to where you rock up, but it can make for a very fulfilling and relaxing experience. Again, it’s not exactly free though: you have to pay for a list of farms in the country you want to visit (generally around ?20-?40), flights and vaccinations.

Visit http://www.wwoof.org/ for the lowdown.


Hitching a ride on a yacht


Do you know your port from starboard, your mainsail from spinnaker? Probably not, but even without knowing one end of a boat from another you may be able to hitch a free ride in return for cooking, cleaning or general deck-handing on a yacht.

Check out websites like Crewseekers (http://www.crewseekers.net/) or the Cruising Association (http://www.cruising.org.uk/) for details of jobs.


Or, for some cheekier options…


Busking


Possibly the most wildly optimistic option – get a guitar and set off on your merry way. Just watch out for police and rival buskers. Oh, and have a credit card handy to bail you out if your strumming turns out to not be as good as you thought…

Joining religious groups


Almost everyone knows someone who did the Alpha course for the sandwiches afterwards. This is just the large-scale (and infinitely more ethically dubious) version. Search out religious groups around the world and worm your way in for free food and lodging. Best not to think about the long-term consequences though…
