Hello everyone!
We came back from a holiday in Mallorca couple of weeks ago!
It's amazing how different the climate is only 2 hours flights away from England!
In mid October average temperatures are still in mid 20s! They do have winter almost as cold as South of England but it only lasts couple of months - unlike us who have to wear winter coats for almost 6 months a year!
We saw plenty of sheep over there - but almost no grass!!! They used to keep a lot of goats back in the days as the conditions are perfect - lots of shrubs, not much rain (most in winter).
They grow oranges, lemons, quince, pomegranates, almonds, walnuts, sweet chestnuts, watermelons and lots of other delicious fruits and vegetables we can only dream of growing over hear (well some grow but never fruit or fruit don't fully ripen).
Anyone have any experience of living and farming over the Balearic Islands or Spain in general?
