Go into the first bar you come across. Order a beer or a glass of wine. Have another. Eat a few slices of jamón, a few prawns, a wedge of tortilla. Costa de la Luz, Letur, Navarra, Guadalajara, Soria...my picks for 2025 ⁦@TelegraphTravel⁩ search.app/azbL1ieT78oQc1bZ6

Soller is about 15 mins drive north of Bunyola. Or, according to Jean, ‘the other side of the island’ #aplaceinthesun

“These two are pretty new to the island” I thought Craig said they’d been to Corfu for their honeymoon in 2015 and have returned 10 times since then? #aplaceinthesun

Are they filming everything through fencing to make the properties look even more grim and prison like? #aplaceinthesun
