This summer i was in Mallorca with Edu, Mallorca have the bests beachs of Europe and mountains. I like this, because you had the beach stuck on the mountain, and you could go to the two sites. The beaches had water completely transparent and were well cared, were also of different types: rock, sand etc.

We were in a camp, we had a vantage point from which hearings were wonderful (photo). -->
