Mallorca’s weather has been a little ‘off’ recently (at least in the northeast of the island, where I live), but wildflowers are appearing in fields and verges, with the promise of better weather to come as we approach the official start of spring.

Mallorca’s five-star hotels and Michelin-starred restaurants are proving a big draw for […]
