What’s not to like? As above. Off on a @Traf trip on friday Weather forecast is obviously belting for the UK so get the “oh you’ve fucked up booking those dates haven’t you when the weather’s so good at home” from some folk round here and at work Have to admit. Yep. I’ll miss the pool and sunbeds in my back garden. The short walk to the sea on the Costa East Manc. And the array of tapas restaurants 5 minutes walk away…. Quote

Got here and the Mrs called me a stupid cunt cos we’re in Palmanova but we’re not even there we’re in Terranova. Right next to Magaluf Tell you what though I’d come back here again any day. Love this place. Chilled as fuck and the Magaluf crowd don’t wander over. It’s more local than anywhere I’ve ever been in Majorca Quote

It’s more local than anywhere I’ve ever been in Majorca Stayed in Torrenova a good few years ago (the year of the Japan / South Korea World Cup), was as you say then, good hotels, nice vibe considering so close to the madness of Magaluf. Puerto Pollensa is another good choice in Majorca, laid back, nice place, decent bars and eating out. Sa Coma another in a similar vein Quote
freds dad Posted July 15, 2025 Posted July 15, 2025 Any tips for good non touristy places to eat in Florence along with good roof top bars. Quote

ianofcleveleys Posted July 16, 2025 Posted July 16, 2025 In Pembrokeshire this week, on the far West coast. If you like coast path walks, fresh air, space and umpteen superb beaches it might be for you. A great food and drink area too, a plethora of good pubs, restaurants and cafes, microbreweries and distilleries with their own taprooms. Quote

So just been chatting to an Irish guy at the pool side bar and he reckons they're all owned by morrocans as fronts for more dubious endeavours and the Guinness is shit The ones not owned by morrocans are owned by English just trying to cash in Quote
