Life in Mallorca
Mallorca has become a paradise for any cyclist. Fundamental aspects of any cycling activity are the climate, the mountains and the good roads. The mild temperatures during the spring season attract both amateur and professional teams to prepare for the pre-season that will continue in their home country. The areas of Playa de Palma and Alcudia have adapted the hotel offer so as to eradicate seasonality by welcoming hotels to cyclists during the winter season. Cycling competitions, triathlon, Ironman and others have caused a large influx of this type of tourism. Cycling in Palma is a small company that offers a personal and specialized treatment for each client, it is possible to rent high-end road bicycles and make private tours from the center of the city to the outside discovering […]
What is a physiotherapist? A physiotherapist is working to assess, prevent, relieve and cure health problems. Public health, stress, sports medicine, manual medicine and orthopaedics are some important areas of expertise, but the professional role also includes assessing the patient’s injuries and abilities as part of the investigation of illness. Assessment of motor skills, strength, joint mobility and pain are some of the most common ones. During my many years as a sportswoman, I had the luck, or perhaps the misfortune, to never go to a physiotherapist. When the body is young and strong, it feels like you can take on the whole world on your own, which you might also be able to, right then and there. However, one thinks very little about the future and that one can […]

On the eastern coast of Mallorca lies the quiet village of Portocolom, a traditional fishing village that maintains its charm with small fishing boats, boathouses and lighthouses. Portocolom has been named after Christopher Columbus, who is said to have been born in the village. The village has historically been a fishing village, and until the late 1800s there was also a busy trade in the shipping of wine to France. Portocolom is located in a sheltered bay with a large number small beaches such as Cala Marçal which is located only one kilometer from Port de Portocolom. You should not visit Portocolom without trying the local seafood. We recommend the nice restaurant Sa Llotja which is located in the harbour overlooking the bay. For those interested in golf, the beautiful […]
Some years ago I decided to surprise a dear friend of mine with something different for her birthday. I wanted to give her an experience and something that we could both share.

This wine tasting tour takes you to some of the best wineries of the island and lets you know their history and taste their award winning wines, accompanied by […]
The training industry has always been an industry in constant development. The different training trends are replaced by new training methods, or old ones that have been freshened up, continuously. I myself have trained for my entire life and have had time to try out many different sports and forms of training and what I have noticed in recent years, is that the personal training has won a lot of terrain. We seem to want to determine exactly what and how we want to train and above all when it suits us to train. Flexibility and quality are particularly important in our usually stressed everyday life. I myself have tried different forms of personal training and think that if you at any time in life can indulge in training a […]
