Pet microchip register in Mallorca

I’ve just been making sure I know how to search for our two dogs — should they ever disappear — and thought I’d share the info with you.

Adios to Noi

Uff, today has been a tricky one. It was time to say goodbye to our little foster dog, Noi, whom we took in from the municipal pound Son Reus. I collected him just one month ago but, even so, leaving him at the airport to make the trip to Germany and his new family was very hard. How people leave their dogs of many years, I have no idea.

Sa Taronja — a cultural gem in Andratx

Tucked away behind a wall at the back of Andratx town, Sa Taronja (‘The Orange’ in Mallorcan) is a quirky place that takes you in and gives you a hug.

The old finca is now a private cultural centre offering the types of music acts and classes (from art to guitar) that are hard to come by outside of Palma and certainly on the west side of the island.
