Heading to Mallorca tomorrow

[Andrew[MG]]

and have a hire car for the week. What sights should I go and see???

Haven't been to the island for 10+ years and was more interested in bars and clubs at that point. Now we're on our last holiday before baby arrives so we might as well visit all the places that we'll not be able to go to for many years now.

Drive to:

Sa Calobra

Formentor

Mind blowing, stunning, incredible.

I'd edit that to say drive to Sa Calobra via the road that runs up past the Puig Major from just outside Soller. It's brilliant if you don't get stuck behind an elderly tourist. On the way back down visit Fornalutx and have a meal at Ca'n Antuna, or the Mirador Ses Barques which is well before the turn off for Fornalutx.

You could also do the trip down to Port Valldemossa.

How much hooning you'll be able to do with a heavily pregnant other half is another question though

Cheers for the suggestions so far!

It's not so much being heavily pregnant that's the problem, she's only at 16 weeks, it's getting past the morning sickness part that I'm hoping for!

Soller is a nice town - although a bit touristy.

Deia, although small, is absolutely beautiful and worth a half day at.

Palma has some very nice old streets and markets too.

Not sure which part of island you're staying - we've just come back:-

- Santanyi market not worth worrying about
- The monastery near Santanyi is supposed to be worth a visit - very good views from there
- Palma aquarium (near airport) very cool - better than the Sea Life centres, probably on a par with London Aquarium but better laid out
