Lights-Camera-Holiday: Are you on Location or on Vacation?

Excuse Me, is this the Love Island Hotel?
We now live in an era of box sets and Z list celebrities. This has given rise to themed tourism as people who watch Game of Thrones swamp Dubrovnik in Croatia, one of the areas used in filming. Remember, it’s TV not real life!

Currently there is a show called Love Island which looks like the Inbetweeners holiday transfer bus has crashed through the walls of the Jeremy Kyle Show studios. Set in Mallorca, even Magaluf is getting worried about its reputation. But there is far more to this Balearic Island once you escape the resort areas. Rafael Nadal lives here - and he has had a few extra days to enjoy his home this week. So enjoy the best parts of your holiday through your own eyes, not those of an emotionally challenged TV executive.

Star Wars Land: May the bill be with you

Disney have revealed their plans to open a Star Wars Land at their parks in California and Florida in 2019. They have yet to confirm prices for their old rope merchandise stand.

A couple claiming acute sickness whist on holiday in Gran Canaria 4 years ago are likely to have lost their appetite after Thomas Cook won a court case and costs of £3,744. Evidence showed that their ‘sickness’ had no effect on their ability to consume large amounts of food & lager.  

Events Diary

Mud: Not right or neat for your tiger feet 

Croatia is making a name for itself in the Festival market. The Soundwave Festival runs 27-31 July in the fishing village of Tisno. Expect Ibiza style beach and boat parties without (yet) Ibiza style prices.

Alternatively, fans of mud (damp soil not the band) will want to be in Boryeong, South Korea between 21-30 July for the Mud Festival. Expect the mud malarky to include wrestling, fireworks and music. 



Featured Destination: Mallorca
Mallorca: escape from crowded Majorca

Mallorca: that’s Magaluf, English breakfasts & designer-lite hotels isn’t it? Well one small part of this island is but venture to the outer coasts and you can find traditional guesthouse and villa accommodation, local food & culture and quieter beaches. 

Puerto Pollença in the north has always attracted a more discerning crowd but also look at areas around Puerto Sóller, Can Picafort or the Tramontana mountains. You won’t avoid all the crowds but you will see the island in a very different light. 

TRIP IDEA: 1 or 2 week holiday: Rent a car from Palma airport between May-October and head to the north, west or east coast away from the high-rise resorts. Long Weekend: head to vibrant Palma outside July/August and enjoy the old town and high quality tapas.
