Women-Only Hospitality Exchange in Majorca

Solo travel

If you like seafood, get a plate of grilled octopus or gambas al ajillo (garlic shrimp). The paella in coastal towns is worth the hype, especially when it’s freshly made for two. Don’t skip ensaimadas (the fluffy spiral pastries) with coffee in the morning, and if you like tapas, order pimientos de padrón and patatas bravas — they’re everywhere and always different. Also, if you’re into ice cream, there are small artisanal gelato spots in almost every seaside town. Things to do: Cala Varques & Cala Mondragó – the kind of beaches you see in postcards, with turquoise water and soft sand. Alcudia Old Town – cobblestone streets, little cafés, and a nice market. Cap de Formentor – dramatic cliffs and views that feel unreal (the drive up is half the adventure). Palma – the cathedral is massive and beautiful, and the little streets nearby are full of hidden tapas bars. Boat trip along the coast – totally worth it for the views and swimming spots you can’t reach by land.
