Enjoying Mallorca: From a chance visit, to a home on a hill - an entertaining account of expatriate life and a unique guide to the island

Enjoying Mallorca is a fully updated edition of Pamela Legge's classic account of expatriate life on the island. First published in 1995, it combines an amusing autobiography with a wealth of information about Mallorca including its history and customs, providing an entertaining read with a practical guide for the visitor seeking greater insight into places and events off the tourist track. This new version covers the many changes that have taken place during the past 20 years, while altering Pamela's text as little as possible and leaving her story unchanged. The e-book format enables quick access to information on places of interest, fiestas, history and many other topics, making it the ideal travelling companion. Claire Baker's original line drawings have also been retained.
Pamela holidayed on Mallorca in 1952 and unexpectedly found herself working as a temporary assistant to Robert Graves. She spent her honeymoon on the island two years later and, in 1986, made her home there. In this book she records how she and her husband adapted to expatriate life in the sun, the complexities of building a house in Spain, and her various encounters with local eccentrics and bureaucracy.
She also provides a fascinating introduction to the many customs and traditions that can still be observed by any visitor or resident who is willing to venture outside the tourist resorts in order to discover the 'real' Mallorca. Her many years with a firm of information management consultants are reflected in her well-researched coverage of the island's traditional fiestas and history which make this a valuable reference work as well as an enjoyable first-hand account of what it is like to live in modern Spain.
Her love for Mallorca is evident in every chapter and her observations on its culture, scenery, flora and fauna reveal her total involvement with this 'jewel of the Mediterranean'.
Enjoying Mallorca describes virtually every town and village on the island, together with a small number of tried and tested restaurants. In addition to sights and events that should not be missed, the reader is introduced to some of the people who made the author's life there such a rich experience. Sample letters from Robert Graves give a glimpse of him not just as the famous author and poet, but also as a man displaying genuine consideration and concern for his friends.
