AN opportunity missed? It wasn't so long ago that hundreds of British pensioners would escape the cold in Britain and head to hotels on Mallorca.

You may not be aware of it, but northern Europeans flock to Mallorca in the winter. More so now than ever. But yes, there's plenty of room for more. It's just that they don't come expecting a beach holiday and don't generally book resort hotels. Especially British resorts, which traditionally become ghost towns around end of October, which might explain why you wouldn't know. The inland hotels and villas generally stay sufficiently booked. They're nearer to, and deliver more of what winter European tourists are looking for. And local restaurants, bars, shopping and attractions stay open and active all year round. And for them, it's like springtime. So it's a nice getaway. Some do it every year for weeks at a time.
