Mallorca invites you to slow down and enjoy its natural beauty. The island has become more and more attractive for people who want a change in their life. Many people move here from the bigger cities on the mainland of Spain, or from Northern Europe. What is it that we are looking for, beyond the sun and the warmer days? Northern people many times complain about the Spanish ”mañana mañana”, but isn’t it exactly that attitude that we all need more of? What is really that important that it can’t be postponed to tomorrow? Close your eyes, breathe, and ask yourself. My answer is that what can’t wait until tomorrow is Your Life, your breath, your health, your loved ones. However, that call, that meeting, that negotiation, I believe, CAN wait until the next day. And […]
On the 30 March 2018, we had the pleasure to host our first Vernissage at our office in Santa Catalina. The Norwegian artist Susanne Grenness Tronhus exposed several pieces of her suggestive and vivid art and the office was filled with color and mingling people. It was a great night, with a happy international atmosphere, many dear re-encounters, as well as meetings with new people. Our neighbouring restaurant Duke had prepared delicious finger-food, and everyone could enjoy a bite of the delicious Mediterranean taste, vegetarian, vegan or meat, all with the special experimental touch of one of our favourite chefs in town. Susanne’s art has become very popular in Norway, and this was her second art exhibit here on Mallorca. She is experimenting with acrylics and collage in colorful compositions, […]

Nowadays the mix of nationalities is different, in Palma you find a lot of influences from Northern Europe as well as from North Africa.

Mallorca has around 70 wineries (bodegas) and in recent years many of the grape growers have opened their doors to visitors for tours and tastings. In our culture, wine is present in religion, celebrations and at mealtimes. Wine has sculpted our landscape and our architecture. In the center of the island, at the foot of the Tramuntana Mountains, you will find some of the best wineries. Winding roads and tracks will bring you up close to the vines, to the land, to unique sensations, houses, wells, caves and hamlets.
