Hi Oliver,
we used to rent an SJ and go explore, we've been visiting a couple of times a years for 20yrs or so, my last venture off tarmac a few years ago resulted in the rental smart car going back on a trailer with a busted sump and a 250 euro bill.!.
I don't tend to go off exploring now as we have our usual haunts & I prefer to rent a smart to a 4x4 as they are so much fun.
my favourite places, cala tuent beach and restaurant Es Vergeret above the beach, both reached by my favourite road on the island - have a look on google maps.
we'd also love to move out there, when we first started visiting Pollenca I could have bought a holiday place on the pinewalk at a push, however there were only scheduled flights & now there's no way I can afford a finca in the north and the flights for our next trip only cost £120 bloody typical.
be nice to say hi & have a :beer:
regards
Gren
