Here we go with the Left Wing - three parties, destroying the tourism of Mallorca that the PP has tried to reboot after the damage of the last "Tourist Tax" that they introduced. Will be glad to get back to London and our "Al Fresco" dining .... and yes which I may stress happens 365 days a year !!!! The Borne looked fantastic 2 weeks ago when I strolled down it. I feel scared for this beautiful island. For the price of peoples properties. A four month season. It has not even been busy this summer, driving through Puerto Andraixt last Sunday at 20.30 when the restaurants should have been heaving - many only had a couple of tables, although the atmosphere around some bars looked happy and lively. This could be because - prices are high but I feel that the quality is not there to justify the price. We had an appalling meal in Puerto Pollensa at Hotel Bahia on Sunday, and when we complained, we were told that everything was perfect, no gesture or anything, even though three of us left our main courses !!! We went off for ice cream to cleanse our palates at the Hotel Illa Dor, which felt like stepping into the 1930's - I loved the black and white photos depicting an era gone by. We have lost the fabulous "Cala Conils" this year ... the Rusty bar - 15 years ago at the tip of Portals Nous.
