Walked up to Pollensa Old Town where we stopped for a Cafe Con Leche and a slice of excellent almond cake. Stopped at Lidl for provisions on the way back and were surprised how much cheaper everything was when compared to the local supermarket, posted the details to Facebook but the bottom line is that things were about half the local prices. However, some alcohol free beer we bought turned out to be all cloudy and not worth drinking which was a shame having made the effort to carry it all the way home. It’s about a 40 minute walk from The Duva to Lidl.

Interested in the bread shelf arrangements in Lidl which prevent folks handling the bread before buying it, it was a bit like a fairground game but a very good idea, see photo. Quite different to the UK where folks get their mucky paws all over everything.



Spotted the place on the road out to Pollensa where those rather nice straw/reed umbrellas are made, the reeds are all laid out to dry on racks before being made into the sunshades and transported down to the beaches.
