… lost in Santany… but don’t tell anyone

My last evening will be something special.

Get up early 😩 have a quick breakfast and off I go by car to Santany. Today is market day.

But already as I drive into Santany, I regret my decision. Crowds of people push through the streets. Unfortunately, it takes a while before I can breathe again and, more importantly, figure things out.

So off to the beach 🏝️ again.

Today it isn’t that windy, so it doesn’t matter if I jump into the water right away. So clear and cold, I dive in joyfully into this turquoise water.

Exhausted and happy, I throw myself onto my yoga mat, which serves as my base. Not a single time used to do yoga. 🙄

Whatever… the guilty conscience can wait, it feels good anyway, in the background “Spandau Ballet” is playing.

4 hours and with a little tan on my face later, I treat myself to a freshly squeezed orange juice for a measly 4.60 €.

Vacation… halt.

I can hardly tear myself away from the dreamlike scenery. 🥹

But now I want to wander through the streets of Santany.

They are empty… and I like that. I stroll from one shop to another without buying anything. Quite unusual…🤭

It’s strange that one usually tries first in English, only to realize that most shops are operated by Germans. Is this still abroad? Or Germany abroad?😏

I find a tavern in the pedestrian zone and look for a lovely spot in the sun.🌞

I order something typically Mallorcan to eat

Artichokes. DELICIOUS. Since I won’t be full from that, the waitress recommends me calamaris. I'm a bit skeptical. The last time I ate that was 30 years ago, as it was something special in the West.

However, here it’s very fresh and with aioli and a dry white wine it’s fantastic. 😋 A second glass and I have to head back.

Only now do I realize that I have only a vague idea of where I parked my car. 🙄

I wander through the streets of Santany; however, my joy about the charming streets is limited.

Oh well, if necessary, I’ll ring a doorbell 🚪. I’m sure I’ll be let in. 😏

Luckily, I remember at this moment that I did indeed press the shutter of my phone camera a few times. Maybe I can find out where I came from based on that.😂

And indeed, I show the photos to a group of locals and lo and behold, they point me the way.

Once again, I’ve had luck 🍀 ☺️
