Why Mallorca? Thoughts of a runner...I don't think there is just one answer to the question why Mallorca in particular is so special? I would like to explain to you here what makes it so special for me. As a passionate (mountain) runner, I may have other thoughts on this!
I came to the island 6 years ago to do a 6-month internship. As I don't like the beach, I used my free time to get to know the Tramuntana mountains.
From the first kilometre, I was thrilled by the light, by the possibility of climbing mountains while watching the sea, by the sunrises and especially by the sunsets.
Little by little, I got to know more and more special corners of this wonder that my companions didn't seem to pay attention to, my memory filled with images that took my breath away. I fell more in love with this treasure with every step, as if I were the only one who could see its splendour.
At that moment I was simply addicted to the Tramuntana like never before. After 5 years of living in 5 different cities, I found a place I could call home and I decided that this was where I wanted to spend my days. Never to miss this light, this breathtaking nature again. I can't and don't want to leave here.
For me - very personally - that is Mallorca.
Saludos,
Álvaro
