Places I have found with lovely cloth masks in all sorts of styles, patterns and colours are: Kargo Vero Moda; Lov which is a new little shop on C/Juan XXIII near the 1919 roundabout on the Eolo side); B-Dressed also on C/Juan XXIII near Can Ferra and the shoe shop); Meraki Bar in the square (there's a box on the bar); Mi Querencia on C/Juan XXIII next to Mestral boutique on the corner opposite Burger King; there's probably a few more that I haven't discovered yet! But if you're coming out here and want to buy one whilst here, these are good places to try.
Big local news of the day - Bonys is opening tomorrow evening 🎉🍹 I have seen that lots of people have been asking on Facebook and Jose has been a bit of a tease 😂 He has been hard at work with his team getting all the tables etc out:
You can see Jose in the second picture, he's been putting in a lot of hard graft so again, if you're out here soon or need some incentive - here it is lol!!
On Tuesday we went down to Palma which was the furthest away I've gone from the Port since lockdown started. I've seen Palma relatively quiet out of season and of course compared to the Port it seemed quite busy, but to see it this quiet in July was just weird! This is Avenida Antoni Maura beside the cathedral leading up to Passeig del Born where tourist buses start tours of the city - hardly anyone about.....
And here's the Plaza Mayor - also, very few people about:
All shops have hand sanitiser at the door and many have arrows for direction/social distancing purposes. Mask wearing is at least as good as here in the Port, possibly better. And even the cows are wearing a face mask 😂
The weather is certainly hotting up even more here - today was around 34 degrees. Over the last couple of days I did another mini dog grooming of our two - I'm improving all the time! - and after less than an hour's grooming I felt like I'd been swimming and not in a good way 😱 We're definitely in the 2-3 showers a day time of year.....
The theme on the One4All Show on Saturday 1-4pm (12-3pm UK time) on English Radio Pollensa 107.9 FM (or via englishradiopollensa.com or tunein.com) this week, because so many people are returning or want to return to the Pollensa area, is songs/artistes with return/come back in the title and I'm looking forward to playing some of the great suggestions 🎶 It seemed an apt theme now that the season has started, albeit much quieter than in previous years. Regular visitors who have made it out here so far seem so thrilled to be here which is rather lovely 😄 You can also tune in on Sundays 10-1pm (9-12noon UK time) for the Easy Like Sunday Morning Show and 1.30-3.30pm (12.30-2.30pm UK time) for the Sunday Lunchtime Show.
In further local news, what was Can Punxo (opposite Hibiscus and just along from Tiberi and Marc's) is now open and has been re-named Neptuno. I have no idea who is now owning/managing it. And yesterday (Wednesday) Guru - as was - had the shades up over the terrace and had just had the terrace furniture delivered. I don't know yet what it will be called, what type of restaurant it will be or when it will open but whatever, it looks like the big 'reveal' will be soon..... Otherwise, along the sea front pretty much most restaurants have now opened apart from La Barra, La Cabaña and Simbad. And Palms Bar is now open with the Abba tribute performing for the first time next Wednesday. I have everything crossed for the Freddie Mercury act starting soon as that's my favourite 🤞 In the meantime I'm going there on Saturday evening for a fashion show and am very much looking forward to a girlie evening out.
Stay safe and hasta lunes!
As always, an enjoyable and informative post. 😊 Hopefully coming out on the 6th.
