Is there some areas to totally avoid??

Hi been away a little hence the lack of posts , however i am back now ..

This is a interesting post , as the comment feeling safe is exactly what i noticed , couldnt put my finger on it but never feel threatened or as if i need to buy deadlocks for the car and stuff , hence why i chose to settle there as against the Mainland Spain which my experiences were of having 1 attempted break in !! And my video recorder stolen from out the car midday !!! .. Not impressed .

The comment on Lanzarote also was exactly as i termed it Not impressed either ...

Your looking for the not to quiet but away from it all. once again was my criteria hance why i have purchased in Cala Romantica , nice small area 5 minutes from Porto Cristo and 15 minutes from the big main town Manacor the ideal location . With a small perfect beach a walk away but without the kiss me quick and the Rovers return brigade ..



Places to avoid well thats a tough one . personal choices i guess ,but i havent seen anywhere bad . just places that i would find to busy to actually live there if that makes sense ?



ps; my place is 12 minutes from Cala Millor and 15 from Cala Bona ,,

Talking about Cala Millor as we did hmmmmm well i did as its next door to Cala Bona When i was last over weeks ago i was invited out by my neighbours to Lunch , a place where they go regularly ..

Just outside cala Millor town centre a Buffet bar well impressive 3 Courses and a bottle of Wine and 1 bottle of Water all for the inclusive price of 10 Euros !! YEP 10 Euros ( about £ 7 ) , Now i thought hmmmmmmmm this could be dodgy bet the foods iffy . Well it was superb choices of 15 starters 10 mains and 8 puddings i was well stuffed after i had finished

So a regular place for me in the future and it has special smokers area What a Country
