Happy New Year to you all.

In line with my ad hoc descriptions of running in pretty places, my latest recommendation is Palma, Mallorca.

Stayed in the city for four days between Christmas and New Year, which was very nice. Found a running route which took about 35mins and took me from the top of the city center where the hotel was, down through the old city center (which is mostly pedestrianised), along the quay side and back to the hotel.

It was a very nice run and particularly at sun set when the Cathedral looked at its best and was different for me as it included a hill!!!!

Couple of things which struck me was, the weather (20 degrees C and sunny), how small the city center really is (ie I could run round it in 35mins) and how runner friendly it was (ie lots of wide footpaths and limited car zones).

Hopefully will find an appropriate photo to illustrate the run.
