Today we headed off on an adventure to drive one of the most scenic roads in Majorca. On the map it looked like a wiggly worm. In reality it was hairpin after hairpin. At one point the road came down off the mountain, round a bend and then back under itself under a bridge. Lots and lots and lots of photos! At one point the road went through a tiny passage blasted in the rock. We just made it through before 15 tour buses came up the hill and there was a traffic jam! The road we followed ended at Sa Calobra and was an absolutely stunning place. To get to the beach you had to walk through a series of tunnels through the rocks. The tunnels were lit by blue and green tubes in the floor, which Toby and Eva found very exciting. Every now and then there was a 'window' in the wall giving you a glimpse of the bluest sea and sky (and the gin palaces moored up). The beach at the end of the tunnel was surrounded by large cliffs and was sort of funnel shaped, narrowing to maybe only 40m wide by the sea. Everybody and his dog was camped out on that bit. But then set back from the sea was a very large area with a natural pool where Toby and Eva enjoyed paddling and playing endless games of tennis. Toby is a little bit obsessed with tennis. 

We stayed as long as we could bear it in the heat. I did manage a little swim, weaving my way through the crowds to the sea but it wasn't a great swimming beach as it shelved sharply and was very stoney with quite a strong current. 

We headed back up the mountain the way we came and then continued onwards to Port de Soller. We had dinner next to the harbour overlooking the beach and then had a walk about. Port de Soller is a lovely relaxed place and a bit less commercialised than Porto Pollensa (which is still pretty unspoilt in my opinion). We watched the sun setting over the bay and then drove back to the apartment. Got back about 11pm. Oops!
