Family Holiday in Pollensa

We loved this article we found this week. Daily Mail writer Jane Fryer tells of the unexpected delights she discovered whilst holidaying in Pollensa with a group of friends and a young baby.
A pleasure to read, and a great recommendation for anyone who thinks Majorca may not be for them.
