My friend and her lovely family went to Mallorca, Spain for a blissful holiday recently, and boy, was I green with envy. And do you know why? It's because the beautiful island of Mallorca, is the island that produced my favorite professional tennis player, the King of Clay, and recipient of the Prince of Asturias award, none other than Rafael Nadal.

Anyways, so while my friend and her family were basking in the sunny La Bahia de Alcudia,  she sent me this nice multi-view postcard showing the beautiful spots in the said island. Here it is:

... already loving the place on our first day. The beach is to die for even if it was very windy - clean, white sands and clear blue waters. Very good for kids. Even if Bim (her one year old son) is more into the sands than the waters.  Alcudia is also an old Roman settlement so we would set aside some time to see historical sites as well. So far, we are already thinking of going back another time...

I can only imagine. I want to go see these places, and if I could, one day, I'll make sure make a side trip to Manacor, Rafa's hometown. It is only less than 45 kilometers from the town of Alcudia. Ana, would you like to go with me? :D Pardon my wishful thinking.




I noticed that the stamps had no cancellation of sorts. The stamps are part of the Flora and Fauna set issued on January 2009 in commemoration of the Hortensia flower, or hydrangea sp.





Thanks for the lovely postcard, Cels.
