I think, as we suspected, a cheeky quick trip (around six hours) to the capital of Mallorca, Palma was not enough ........
Now, we love our beloved Greek Isles, but perhaps it was a tiny bit fortuitous that this year our holiday budget was a little on the compromised side, because, otherwise, we might never have ventured to pastures new .......
...... which only took two hours flight time to get here, instead of considerably longer, depending on the Greek Isle being travelled too, so again, a bit of a bonus.
Soooooooo yes, I think we would like to return at a slower, more sedate pace at sometime, to visit a few of the places that we didn't manage to fit in this time, like the cathedral and its grounds, more churches and one or two of the nearby beaches etc ......
...... but NOT if it causes any protests of a Toxic Tourism type nature. It would just be too mortifying to find that our presence, in the future, could cause issues effecting the local economy or local people.
We shall have to ponder and muse some more and then see ........

Wise words about tourists. Palma looks great.
I like the yellow pillar box. (Do people still call them this?) Does anyone remember the pensioner who used to leapfrog them? He was on Blue Peter, when I was a kid.
Below the post box, I thought it said "Nudes Atelier, Sexy Kitchen!" I thought it was just as well young Nigel/Eric wasn't with you. You'd have to avert his eyes, or distract him, in some way. "Don't look Ethel!" (Another reference for you oldies, although I'm sure Mum and JtF are far too young to remember this.)
In fact, it says "Nudos Atelier, Sexy Kitchen." Nudos is Spanish for "knots."
Atelier is a French word, that is also used in Spanish and English.
"Below the post box....."
Oops.
I should have written something like:
