Alcudia and Pollença: most beautiful towns in Spain
Alcudia and Pollença have been awarded the Most Beautiful Town in Spain award. This means that they meet a series of strict requirements, since this distinction is not awarded to any municipality, but rather has to be thoroughly examined by the experts of the Spanish organization The Most Beautiful Town in Spain. In fact, in this list of towns awarded as the most beautiful in Spain, there are only three in the Balearic Islands.
Practical tips
The perfect sangria
The perfect sangria is made at the moment and is homemade -no bricks, bottles, or taps- so it will take a few minutes to serve it. Our recommendation is that you ask the waiter first if they make it themselves, this way you will avoid disappointment... Sangria is usually served in a jug, at least one liter, so if there is an option to order just one glass, doubt that it is homemade already. that its elaboration takes many ingredients and it is not profitable or feasible to serve it individually.
Although we can find several types of sangria, the classic sangria is red wine. The ingredients that sangria usually has are:
- Brandy or peach liqueur, orange liqueur or cointreau.
- Red wine
- Orange soft drink (if it is natural juice, much better)
- Sugar
- Fresh fruit: orange, lemon, strawberries, apple, banana, melon, blueberries, grapes... Whatever is in season. The better the sangria, the more variety of fruit. If it's all citrus, they haven't tried too hard...
- Cinnamon stick (optional)
There are slight variations on what is included change the natural orange juice for orange or lemon soda. There are even those who make sangria with soda. All these formulas are valid and are very rich. The important thing is that they make it in the same establishment and not pour a liter of bottled sangria into a pretty jar...

The importance of Majorica pearls in Mallorca
Majorica Pearls are an emblem of Mallorca. Its first center and main factory is located in the municipality of Manacor, although there are stores in many other parts of Mallorca. Since 1890, they were pioneers in the creation and production of high quality artificial pearls -maintaining the patent until 1948-, and in human resources, generating job stability in the town of Manacor and making this town and its pearls known internationally. The employment was always carried out by women, the so-called "pearlers" who had stable work all year round and extraordinary benefits for that time, including childcare service in the factory itself and a commissary where the pearling families could make their provisioning of provisions. Quite an advance for that time that, together with the treatment and conditions, added the affection of the Majorcan people to the quality of its products.

Its structure makes the llaüt a consistent boat of great stability capable of withstanding adverse weather conditions. Majorcans say that the llaüt is
Although there are still old traditional llauts that have been inherited from generation to generation, the truth is that there are many fans and deep-rooted lovers of the Balearic Islands who are looking for navigate this boat. This makes it possible for them to continue to be built in wood and other cheaper materials, easy to maintain and of excellent quality, such as fiber, the same one used for yachts.
