mondrago


We weren't thrilled waking to another cloudy day, but we planned to pretend the sun was shinning and headed to Porto Cristo. Random roadside dinosaurs caught our attention, so made a quick turn around to pose with them. We were in just the right moods for playing with the statues. Can you spot the poor, headless one? 


Porto Christo was our next quick stop, and after a short sit on the beach, we continued down to the Mondrago nature reserve. We spent some time exploring the beaches, cliffs, and trails before it started raining. We had great scenery for a run in the rain. 


Our run in the rain was so much fun, through the trails and across beaches, that we dropped the camera at the car to keep it dry and continued running. In the evening we made a trip up to Inca in search of vegan food. Be sure to visit Es Ginebró for farm-to-table goodness from a welcoming family restaurant and great local wine and olive oil too. I could have eaten ten slices of their vegan beet cake.

trail to lluc


We spotted GR signposts just outside Pollença (GR markings would probably be better to follow than the goat trail directions I had in mind) so we decided to follow the 221 toward Lluc.  


We had a nice, quick walk: 16 miles, a little more than 5 hours. After that, we were ready to get to the beach, so down to Platja de Formentor.


We wound back up from the beach and stopped at a roadside overlook to take-in the dark blue water and lovely, late-day light.
