Formentor, Valldemossa and the Sóller train deserve their fame. Beside them, a country market, a stone village, a fishing harbour and a quiet island show another Mallorca.

Experiences
Excursions, mornings on the water and hands-on workshops that become the memory of a trip.
Some hours stay with you long after the flight home: a morning boat out of the harbour, a village market that has met on the same square for centuries, a class where you paint a tile or roll pastry. Here is how to find those hours and choose them well.
On the water: boat trips worth the morning
From Hamburg’s harbour ferries to the Stockholm archipelago and the Tagus, the boat trips that change how you see a place, and how to choose them well.
Learning by doing: workshops that make a trip
A two or three hour class often becomes the part of a short break you remember longest. Cooking, tile painting, crafts, baking and wine, and how to choose well.
