Mallorcan Red Posted September 4, 2023 Report Share Posted September 4, 2023 Hello to the little lad walking around Cala D’Or Marina this morning in his City home shirt. His family were very surprised when “come on you reds” was called out from one of the boats where I was working. We get a few people from Bristol on their holidays walking past and those that say hello I always ask if they are city or **s fans. Never ever had anyone admit they are a blue fewer. Any other City fans around the area? Either living here or on holiday? 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was looking to buy a place out there, but as you know it’s really expensive, 350k for a 2 bedroom apartment next to Martha’s hotel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Open End Numb Legs Posted September 4, 2023 Report Share Posted September 4, 2023 Flew back from Mallorca yesterday. The planes both out and back to Bristol seemed to be mostly Welsh. I think I read somewhere that Cardiff airport had lost some of its holiday trade so that might explain it. The win at Swansea was brilliant. I was tempted to raise the subject but the flight had the worst turbulence I have experienced. With some sickness and crying going on around me it wasn't the time and place for banter. Much celebration greeted the successful landing. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I saw in Mallorca the last 2 years, wearing club shirts is more of a German thing these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great idea but when last seen some of it seemed to be en route to Menorca at high speed, skimming across the sea so he will have to enquire there instead.

RedRaw Posted September 4, 2023 Report Share Posted September 4, 2023 Was in Santa ponsa couple of weeks ago, nice enough place…..absolutely flooded with Irish and Celtic Scots. Ok if you like your Irish bars but I prefer a bit of local culture. it seemed everyone was wearing GAA shirts almost exclusively made by o’neills. No supply issues there! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every holiday though there is the family chat at some point - 'let's do a boat trip'. It hasn't always worked out well.....in my opinion, the waters always seem choppy. You get on a tourist catamaran which is double decker and therefore top heavy so it rolls a lot. 15 minutes in, all those who had a breakfast are regretting it. Me, Mr Cautious who had a glass of water and a couple of pool mints is ok and ends up looking after the others. Happens most times even when it looks like calm waters from the beach. Any hot boating tips MR? I was thinking a private rental might be better next time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Santa Ponsa is not really the place for local culture, though the other side of the resort is a bit more Spanish, there is a nice local bar down by the little beach heading out towards the marina called La Brasa, the bar owners that side of the resort call the area of Irish bars the dark side :laugh:.

tin Posted September 5, 2023 Report Share Posted September 5, 2023 We had a villa in Pollensa last summer, which was lush. I know Mallorca like the back of my hand having been on many cycling trips over there, the last one being the 2019 Mallorca 312. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any other City fans around the area? Either living here or on holiday? Argyle fan (living in Bristol) here, just browsing your forum ahead of our upcoming game. Fair play to the lad for wearing his City top out and about, a nice change from the premier league shirted Brits! I'm just curious, have you been to see Real Mallorca? I've seen they're redeveloping their stadium, which is looking pretty good now, hopefully they can get back to their heyday of European football. If you haven't been, I thoroughly recommend it, Edited September 5, 2023 by Green army Bristol Misread original post 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
