19th June

We're anchored by the Torrented de Pareis. This is one of the most visited sights in Mallorca. We anchored this morning in a desolate and deserted bay. High cliffs surround us, a dribble of a stream (the torrent) drips in to the sea across the pebble beach. We took the dinghy round the corner into another arm of the bay. Here there are 7 self service restaurants and a landing stage. We walked back to where we had anchored through two tunnels cut in the cliffs. While we were walking back the coaches and boats started to arrive and by early afternoon the place was a heaving mass of mainly German tourists. We were joined in the anchorage by an assortment of yachts and motor boats. Nearby, youth were dive bombing into the sea from a rock. We had lunch ashore and spent the afternoon chilling. Everyone, apart from a boat or two, will be gone by 6 pm. Sadly all the bars will be shut and there is no internet. Good luck England. I will have to wait until tomorrow to find out how they get on.
