Hi my name is jakaka and this is my first post, have lived Costa de la Luz for the last 5 years and it still surprises me how cold it gets in the evenings, we have had torrential rain last week that lasted 7 days. The sun came out Sunday morning to dry us out but sadly for some people it was to late they had lost much of their life in the floods that hit the area.

Magaluff and Palma nova is the same, but there are some really pretty and quiet areas.

I spent several very pleasant holidays in Mallorca on the North Coast. It wasn't very developed then, and the scenery was wonderful.

I remember visiting Palma back then and it was very busy

Ive only been to cala bona when i was younger but i remember it being the nicest place i've ever been. i felt safe there. i didnt like lanzarotte i thought that was boring .went on the boat down the east cost to cala d'or. im into golf quite a bit so i was thinking of getting an apartment in the near'ish future in mallorca. i wouldnt want to be somewhere too quiet yet too busy. Is there some areas to totally avoid??
