I had been invited on a press trip on behalf of the brand Just as long as we could get ourselves to the resort my guest and I would be treated to a three-night stay in the Zafiro Club (a major perk of my job since we were already going to be in Europe for a wedding and the resort was just about to close for the season (It’s open annually from mid-April through October Between adventuring around the island on scooters relaxing in one of the six (!) ritzy pools and ordering what felt like a zillion scrumptious desserts find my favorite experiences from my stay—complete with very Insta-worthy photos If you’ve ever wanted to live out your Lizzie Maguire fantasies of driving around Europe on a Vespa (minus the handsome Italian man) Zafiro’s baby-blue electric Vespas can help turn that into reality my friend and I grabbed our Vespas and made the 30-ish minute ride from the resort to Port Andratx a charming little harbor village on the western coast of the island Dotted with fishing boats alongside sleek yachts the port town has a laid-back yet elegant vibe We spent the afternoon strolling by the waterfront before zipping up some hilly streets for better views of the port where we sat on the rocks and took in the views of the jade-green palms swaying above the azure waves before taking our Vespas back to the resort I will forever remember giggling on them while dodging SUVs and racing around narrow roads leading to hidden beach spots There’s just something about riding a Vespa that makes you feel like you’re in a real-life movie montage Photo: AuthorSailing on a traditional llaütAs two very passionate water signs it’s no surprise that my friend and I agreed that our favorite part of the trip was sailing on Zafiro Palace Andratx’s sailboat we set off on an electric llaüt—an updated sustainable take on Mallorca’s traditional wooden fishing boats Gliding through the water without the typical engine fumes or motor noise was an unexpected luxury transforming the usual hustle of a boat ride into a relaxed The captain sailed us out from Port Adriano (about a 30-minute taxi ride from the resort) along Mallorca’s rugged western coastline past secluded coves and dramatic cliffs while we laid on the bow we could chat and enjoy the lapping of waves against the hull an experience worlds apart from the flashier yachts that populate the Mediterranean another serene cove (so many beautiful coves!) I spend a lot of time on the sea in my personal life but this was the most brilliant cerulean water I’ve ever swam in I would have taken one of the captain’s paddleboards out for a spin (he also had snorkels and electric underwater scooters available) I was thrilled to float on my back and experience Mallorca’s maritime soul a chance to see the coastline as it’s meant to be experienced: slowly Photo: AuthorUnwinding in The Gem spaAs much as I love adventure on vacation Tucked away on the second floor of the resort’s main building The Gem is a quiet haven away from the rest of the resort where you can unwind in the sauna or heated indoor pool with wall-to-wall views over the surrounding mountains and sea There’s also a full menu of treatments including facials, manicures, pedicures, and massages, all elevated with luxurious Germaine de Capuccini products complete with some breathwork and aromatherapy which left me and my muscles completely relaxed it was nice to have some time to do… nothing the spa isn’t the only place you can get some R&R There are a whopping six outdoor pools across the resort’s property so we had plenty of opportunities to lounge and chill the resort’s adults-only rooftop pool with sweeping views of the nearby beach If you want a secluded pool away from screaming children like I did we had a private jacuzzi tub on our deck that was a lovely respite at the end of each night I’d grab my book and pour myself a nightcap before going to bed which was enough on its own to make me never want to leave Photo: Zafiro ResortsSavoring gourmet gastronomyThe food and drink are where Zafiro Palace Andratx truly won me over I’ve honestly always thought all-inclusive food is mediocre; typically the breakfasts and lunches are a combination of buffet-style lunchmeats and cheeses that have been left to sweat in the sun all day dinners are typically held at one of the few restaurants on-site the culinary offerings defied my every expectation We started each day with the sprawling Mediterranean breakfast buffet cut fruit) and local dishes (Iberian meats and cheeses guests have the option of another delicious buffet or sitting down to a meal at La Veranda crispy pinsas (a lighter alternative to pizza) Two dishes I’m still dreaming about are the roasted aubergine with figs and ricotta and the creamy mushroom risotto which we ate on day two after nearly beefing it on our scooters—so good we were able to sit down for dinner at each of the three on-site restaurants which only got better as the weekend went on The first night we went to Tastes & Sushi My friend and I were still buzzing from our long travel day so we spent most of our time yapping over a bottle of wine and picking at some shared sushi rolls before diving into three incredible desserts (over-ordering quickly became a theme throughout the trip) Photo: AuthorIt’s worth noting that this was the most reasonably priced of all four restaurants—entrees were in the $20-$24 price range here and between a bottle of wine (there’s a selection of all-inclusive bottles included on every menu) and three desserts we got our money’s worth with the all-inclusive option It definitely paid off at the other restaurants where entrees were closer to $30-$40 per person the all-inclusive package really is worth the splurge; not only did we have access to all five restaurants where we satiated our inner carnivores with an Iberian charcuterie and juicy sirloin steaks paired with a somm-recommended rioja We also watched someone order the sizzling $59 Tomahawk steak which was impressive (my gut could never) and made us hungrier so we ended up ordering a round of patatas bravas to share (which my gut definitely could) we enjoyed fresh Mediterranean food at Mare Nostrum but I can safely say I left my meal understanding what it means to appreciate gastronomy We started by ordering three appetizers (all-inclusive baby!) to start: scallops with coral rock and seaweed this is *not* your normal all-inclusive restaurant we moved on to our main courses; lobster with citrus and black rice for me charbroiled octopus with sweet potato puree for my friend The flavor and freshness of both courses were astounding and perfectly portioned so that we could enjoy dessert My friend and I swooned over the tart creaminess of raspberry créme anglaise and rich brioché French toast with salted caramel ice cream and crème brûleé crumbles But the showstopper was La Sobremesa—a fudgy chocolate cigar filled with a smoky mousse It’s served on a glass ashtray with a side of gray sugar ash for dipping and tastes like you’re actually smoking a cigar (in the best way possible) “Is this what it means to have a gastronomical experience?” my friend asked in between bites of that chocolatey Photo: AuthorA few notesOur stay in Mallorca was pretty much perfect The first is that Mallorca is not the easiest or cheapest place to get to from the United States Most major airports along the East Coast require you to fly to Madrid or Barcelona first before connecting to Palma But if you’re flying from the middle of the country or the West Coast *expensive* travel day with lots of layovers Pro tip: I recommend tacking on a few days in a major connecting city to make it worth your while about 40 minutes) and spent three days exploring the city before flying to Newark I plan on doing something similar to make it worth my while (and to break up travel days!) The second is that the Mediterranea is chillier than I thought it would be in October and although I love traveling during the shoulder season to avoid crowds I would recommend sneaking in a trip in September to maximize weather We were surprised at just how breezy it was—so windy that we had to reschedule our original sail on the llaüt from Friday to Saturday it was hard to stay in the water comfortably for long periods of time but if I ever get back to the Balearic islands (which I’m determined to do I think mid-September would be the perfect time to go Zafiro Palace Andratx has all the creature comforts you’d expect from a luxury getaway; it’s studded with crystalline pools But it’s the care taken in crafting personal touches—a glass of sparkling cava offered before every dinner the traditional senalla basket in your room to tote around your beach towels fresh flowers on your coffee table—make it a place to savor Got it, you've been added to our email list. load moreSign Up for Our Daily NewsletterGet all the latest in wellness, trends, food, fitness, beauty, and more delivered right to your inbox.Subscribe...

The Illes Balears-Arabay team also confirmed that the event was "cancelled and suspended due to weather conditions and crashes in the first few kilometres." Burgos Burpellet BH confirmed on their social media channels that the event was suspended "due to the numerous falls that occurred in the first kilometres."  When riders ultimately stopped racing at 125km to go there was a breakaway of three riders that included Daniel Cavia (Burgos BH) Amund Grøndahl Jansen (Uno-X Mobility) and Manuele Tarozzi (VF Group-Bardiani CSF-Faizanè) After the riders made the decision to stop racing the breakaway was moving forward but due to the conditions of the terrain The last day of the Challenge Mallorca is due to come on Sunday at the 149.9km Trofeo Palma Race organisers of the Challenge Mallorca's Trofeo Andratx-Pollença explained in an official statement after the race that they respected but did not share the riders' decision to halt the racing after the dangers that had arisen due to the bad weather "The peloton of cyclists has decided to stop the race at the 23rd kilometre of the Andratx-Mirador del Colomer Trophy (Pollensa) The riders' representatives informed the president of the technical jury of their decision to stop the race," read the official statement from the organisation "The organisation has had no room for negotiation to find a possible alternative to the cyclists' firm decision The organisers and the UCI College of Commissaires of the race respect the riders' decision and regret the damage caused The organisation does not share the riders' decision." The organisers said that they recognised that the safety of the peloton was their priority and that they had warned riders and teams to use caution in the opening kilometres of the race "The organisation is aware that safety takes precedence over any other cause before the race and during the first kilometres the team leaders were informed of the danger and caution was requested on the initial sections of the route," they wrote in the statement "The organisation regrets the injuries suffered by some of the cyclists who have been involved in a fall and wishes a speedy recovery to all of them." 🛫 #TrofeuAndratxPollença 📍 Andratx 🏁 Mirador d'es Colomer🚴‍♂️ 151 km@gardenhotels @TurismeBalears @MallorcaTourism @AjAndratx #AjuntamentPollença @unisportprensa pic.twitter.com/ujjuUiRxaOFebruary 1, 2025 Kirsten has a background in Kinesiology and Health Science She has been involved in cycling from the community and grassroots level to professional cycling's biggest races She began her sports journalism career with Cyclingnews as a North American Correspondent in 2006 Kirsten became Women's Editor – overseeing the content strategy race coverage and growth of women's professional cycling – before becoming Deputy Editor in 2023 A series of one-day Spanish races began for men in the 1990s, labelled Challenge Mallorca, and organisers added a women's series in 2024, Challenge Mallorca Femenina The second edition will again offer three consecutive days of UCI 1.1 racing on the large Mediterranean island from January 25 to 27 -

£1.3million Spanish home before Christmas, with authorities offering no compensation despite their 16-year ownership of the property. Lee and Georgie Pendleton's apartment in Majorca's Port d'Andratx will be reduced to rubble alongside 11 other properties after being deemed illegal by the Spanish government. The demolition order, which was initially issued in 2013, is finally being executed "after years of threats," according to the Pendletons. The couple were not even in the country when the court issued the eviction notice, forcing friends to rescue their belongings from being discarded. Lee and Georgie Pendleton's apartment in Majorca's Port d'Andratx will be reduced to rubble alongside 11 other properties "It's heartbreaking. We haven't even told our children yet," Lee told The Telegraph. Georgie revealed the ordeal has caused her sleepless nights, saying they've been "living on egg shells" throughout the years of demolition threats. The situation has forced the couple to scramble to save their possessions. "We had to ask our friends to save our stuff otherwise it would have gone in the skip," Lee explained. The Pendletons are among the latest victims in a widespread planning scandal that has affected numerous homeowners across Majorca and other parts of Spain. The roots of this crisis trace back to 2005, when then-Andratx Mayor Eugenio Hidalgo was involved in issuing illegal planning applications in exchange for financial incentives. The demolition order, which was initially issued in 2013, is finally being executed "after years of threats" The scandal led to Hidalgo's imprisonment in 2013 after developer Manuel Zapata admitted to paying him tens of thousands of euros for contracts. The demolition order for the Pendletons' property was issued in September 2013, marking the beginning of their decade-long ordeal. The Pendletons and other homeowners attempted to resolve the situation by offering to pay Andratx town hall €100,000 each to change the building's title, but their proposal was rejected. "As a non-resident, they won't interact with you. Even if you go to the town hall. It's like you're being blocked out of the country," Lee said. He expressed frustration at the authorities' treatment of foreign property owners. "They're very happy for you to come in, but then you're on your own if any issues arise," he added. "How can you do this to people? The government should be issuing us compensation at market rate level." The couple still have a €200,000 mortgage on the property and only heard from their lender when they contacted them about closing the mortgage after receiving the eviction notice. The Pendletons had a tenant in the property at the time and were given just two days' notice, with utilities to the building being cut off. Adding to their distress, there are claims that the sea-facing plot could become the site of three luxury villas worth €20m (£16.6m) each once the current buildings are demolished. Lee said that while they expect losses, the family are trying to salvage "something from this horrific mess," as they still own a portion of the land. 06 Apr 2025 10:00:00 GMT?.css-1txiau5-AnswerContainer{color:var(--GlobalColorScheme-Text-secondaryText2);}Torrent CF won 3–1 over CE Andratx on Sun This is 30 of the Segunda Federacion -

it was much more like Belgium Snow peppered the Sierra Tramuntana and clouds quickly shrouded the peloton after a deceptively sunny start capping off on the category 1 Coll Puig Major - the highest mountain on Mallorca - at 48km to go Riders set a furtive tempo in the near-freezing conditions making for a tough ride to the final 2km kicker up the cliffs of Mirador des Colomer - high above the Port de Pollença Uijtdebroeks and Goossens were the last survivors of the group after dropping Michael Ries (Arkéa-Samsic) and Alessio Nieri (Green Project-Bardiani CSF Faizane) Uijtdebroeks and Goossens extended a 50-second lead to a minute and change Along the undulating 20km after the summit of the Puig Major Soudal-Quickstep set a brisk temp at the head of a much-reduced peloton - perhaps more to keep warm than out of concern the duo might stay away - keeping the gap around 1:12 The descent off the mountain was wet and tricky and Uijtdebroeks was far more cautious than his compatriot who took risks to open a gap on the Tour de l'Avenir winner he had 1:40 as the peloton began to stretch out on the technical end of the descent A cross-headwind contributed to the gaps in the peloton allowing Soudal-Quickstep's Ilan van Wilder Louis Vervaeke and Lennard Kämna (Bora-Hansgrohe) to clip off the front Hugh Carthy (EF Education-EasyPost) joined them but the peloton made more ground to reel them in than the chasers had made into the lead of Goossens The Intermarché rider and Uijtdebroeks midway between the leader and the peloton with 5km to go were stretched across a nearly unassailable gap as they hit the base of the final two-kilometre climb Soudal-Quickstep got the bit between their teeth to chase but left it too late Results powered by FirstCycling she coordinates coverage for North American events and global news As former elite-level road racer who dabbled in cyclo-cross and track Laura has a passion for all three disciplines When not working she likes to go camping and explore lesser traveled roads UCI governance and performing data analysis Not only is Spanish island Mallorca an absolute mecca for tourism it is also home to some truly spectacular real estate and the following property is certainly one of the finest Located in the ultra-fashionable enclave of Port d’Andratx the house is dubbed the ‘Rockstar Villa’ and for good reason Currently on the market for the equivalent of just over $12 million the Rockstar Villa was designed by Alberto Rubio It utilises his seagull design with the roof of the house meant to mirror the wings of a seagull in flight it measures 5813 square feet on a 16,254 square foot block and looks down to the beautiful Mediterranean Sea Construction of the house was completed in 2008 and it boasts five bedrooms a semi-circle shaped infinity pool as well as some exceptionally sharp lines and white render and website in this browser for the next time I comment View upcoming auction estimates and receive personalized email alerts for the artists you follow CCA Andratx is pleased to present the exhibition Between Before and After by renowned British artist Clare Woods Clare Woods has developed a distinctive painterly language Wood’s approach to painting has been described as “sculpting with paint” on a base of aluminum and Woods herself describe the process as very physical Clare Woods finds her inspiration in photographs she has collected or taken herself still lives of flowers have also been a recurring motif in Woods’ works The flower arrangements contain strong references to the memento mori tradition which has influenced the visual arts since the 17th century conveying the short-lived nature of life and a sense of vulnerability to time itself This transmission of psychological emotional states and existential questions is characteristic of the artist’s practice which works along the delicate border between illness and health This ambiguous realm makes it possible for Woods to paint more difficult subjects in the same way as the beautiful where repositioned details and forceful brushstrokes unite the works into a cohesive entity The artist’s most recent works also relate to the recent pandemic and subsequent lockdown Woods was profoundly affected by the pandemic but at the same time it was an excellent opportunity to focus on her work uninterrupted days in her studio painting intensively also bringing impressions from home into her work leading to familiar things then taking on new and distorted meaning The name of the exhibition Between Before and After is a reference to the fact that there is no going back in time the exhibition’s name has taken on a completely new meaning: “My works have always had a trace of perceived fear and the real anxiety this fear causes I would never have been able to imagine what is happening in the world now and how to carry the enormity of this nightmare Maybe we are all facing the question of what it means to be human” The exhibition features works from the past six years and is presented in collaboration with Serlachius Museums in Finland where the exhibition was first shown in 2022 and Dundee Contemporary Arts in Scotland Between Before and After is curated by Laura Kuurne Serlachius Museums’ Head of Collections and Exhibitions and the exhibition is accompanied by a catalogue of the same title
