| At Macia Batle winery at Santa Maria, Majorca |
We got up rather late and had breakfast together. Then we walked across town to the station where we bought tickets to Santa Maria on the Inca line.
We took a modern train through picturesque countryside. At the small town we soon found the Macia Batle winery.
First we toured the wine-making cellars and bottling rooms, and saw the display of colourful labels designed by their own artists. Then we were offered a wine tasting experience of ten white, rose and red wines. We liked the Blanc de Blancs and the Crianza wines best and bought 4 bottles.

We took the train back to Palma and had lunch at the Bar Central. There was lots of blossom blowing about causing everyone to sneeze.
We returned to the hotel for a rest. In the evening we went to visit the nearby modern art museum Es Baluard, where we saw works by Mallorcan artists, and then tried to get a drink in the lounge bar outside. The service was terrible.

We then walked to Simply Fosh for a pre-anniversary dinner. We had a 4 course seasonal meal with a complimentary glass of cava and some white wine. It was all delicious. It was a long walk back to the hotel again.
