Out of the Way…On Mallorca
I have been doing a little research on blogs which cover out of the way topics and, believe me, there are plenty. Lots are splogs with next to zero information designed for the adsense market. But once in a while you run across a blog which understands its niche.
The Best of Mallorca uses the convienience of the blog “item” format to walk you through the pleasures of Mallorca. Now, truth to tell the only thing I know about Mallorca is that Robert Graves lived there for years in a sort of pre-hippie hippie exile and, following his style, counter culture folk have been going there for years.
Which means my information is roughly twenty years out of date. Best of Mallorca uses the bloggy content management system to be as fresh as last week while still having time and space to mention that Mallorca’s 800 year old cathedral was refubished by Gaudi in 1904. Which is the beauty of the blogging format. You can go long when you need to, include pics after a jump and, at the same time, provide the casual surfer with instant information.
I am amazed that there are not more destination specific blogs…or, perhaps there are an I just have not found them yet.

Huge sailing area. Stopped in Palma in June and had great tapas dinner in the old town by the cathedral. Interesting place with modern Miami beach type high rises next to very old town next to 6 lane waterfront highway. Coast is very pretty in an arid sort of way; lots of Moorish towers on bluffs, etc with the odd beach in beween.
