“A very enjoyable boat ride on a hot day. We didn’t jump in during the two swimming stops but they appeared to be enjoyed by those who did. Had time for a nice coffee in the nearest cafe to where boat moored at Andratx. Lunch was pasta in bolognese sauce with a fresh basic salad, both plentiful. Definitely worth doing if you are in doubt - the pint glass of sangria was lovely and refreshing!”
