Very pretty, but I am hiding the bits you wouldn't want to see on this photo

A long villa weekend in Mallorca, Spain

Returning to Mallorca was, as expected, almost magic. There is something about this island – very relaxed, but also quite chic, and also very pleasant to the eye. I like the variety that it offers – you can be in places where you see no one, you can do some decent shopping, the food is incredible and the sea is so beautiful, you can’t quite believe you are in Europe.

Today is a very happy day - because we were able to recreate one of our favourite dishes in the world (from Portugal, obviously): amêijoas a bulhão pato, which is clams with garlic, coriander (cilantro), olive oil, white wine and some wonderful salt. I never ever even thought I could make it - but after finding some lovely clams at a #Weymouth fishmonger today, we decided to give it a go. @mroaroundworld thinks I’m the best today, so I’m going to enjoy that compliment. Does this look like something you’d try? Obviously a slice of sourdough bread to mop up that sauce is included. And a glass of wine white. #saturdaynight 307 101
The first time I saw a sandy beach in England. 157 26
The weather wasn’t great yesterday but it was hot (and dry!) and the river was quite busy! 175 16
We have my godson @henriquelfam a little taste of the #henleyroyalregatta this afternoon - he even picked my hat (which didn’t really match my outfit but that’s irrelevant 😉). We literally just got on the river taxi up and down the river as we would get bored otherwise (and the timing was just perfect). And we had a special request for lunch (see stories 🤣) 414 86
I wanted to take a photo of this landmark but it really isn’t easy without a drone - and as I came on holiday with only my phone, this was the best I could do. There’s a town called #Tarifa in Spain’s #Andalucia, where the Mediterranean Sea meets the Atlantic Ocean. I had no idea it was there - and it was actually quite meaningful to go there (and great fun too). I’m from #Portugal as most of you know and lots of people think it’s on the #Med and it isn’t - hence why our dips in the sea are always a bit cooler. It was a lovely way to end our holiday. We shall be back next year, last week of June (I hope!) #MrsOapproved 192 27
Back in our very happy place, the wonderful @fincacortesin in the south of #Spain. I first came here as Mrs. O in 2013 (I added the review link on my bio if you want to know a bit more), and we have returned as Ana & Simon every year since (except last year, which was complicated). It brings out the very best in us - I don’t know why. We just love it here. I can’t think of a better place to welcome #Summer. #MrsOapproved 365 63
