Feature
Spain :
Far from the cliché of the crowded beaches scaled by Northern European tourists, there is still a wild Majorca that flirts with the crests of the Sierra Tramuntana and the lost creeks along seaside… Valldemossa, Deia, Soller, Fornalutx, here is the fief of the big Fincas families and the Agricultural Domains. Good news, these ancestral residences are opening up to agrotourism…Push the door! Text : Marie-France PARRA
