The Dana weather front has thankfully exhausted itself in the Majorca area, yippee! The last time we were in Palma, we had intended to visit the Fundacion Miro but someone fell off her bike en route! Today, we took a taxi into Palma to finally tick that off our list.
It was well worth waiting for. The land was bequeathed by Miro’s wife, Pilar, and she sold 26 of his paintings to fund building the museum. The site also includes Miro’s sculpture studio and another purpose built studio designed by his friend Josep Sert and of course gardens. Can you identify which photo isn’t modernist art?
It was quite a long walk back into the city, along the harbour front past all the expensive boats which was rather pleasant. We stopped for a leisurely lunch before a taxi back to Soller.
Having arrived back in Soller, beer was calling us. It’s always surprising how difficult it is to choose a suitable bar in an unknown town. We wandered past many before settling on one, filled with locals and, most amazingly, a group of elderly ladies playing Ludo. Beer turned into more beer and eventually food…
Tomorrow, we brave public transport to the Agriculture and Craft festival in Inca, Dijous Bo.
It’s been a mild sunny day, we could almost be on holiday!
