Practical tips
Tips to enjoy the beach
At the beach don't forget to put on your sun cream. The recommended protection is the highest (protection 50).
Try not to take valuables to the beach, this way you will avoid loss or theft.
In any place and establishment you can pay with bank card, mobile or smartwatch so it is not necessary to carry cash.
When you go to eat at a restaurant, first ask if the paella and sangria are homemade. This way you will make sure that you are in a good place.
Practical tips
The perfect sangria
The perfect sangria is made at the moment and is homemade -no bricks, bottles, or taps- so it will take a few minutes to serve it. Our recommendation is that you ask the waiter first if they make it themselves, this way you will avoid disappointment... Sangria is usually served in a jug, at least one liter, so if there is an option to order just one glass, doubt that it is homemade already. that its elaboration takes many ingredients and it is not profitable or feasible to serve it individually.
Although we can find several types of sangria, the classic sangria is red wine. The ingredients that sangria usually has are:
- Brandy or peach liqueur, orange liqueur or cointreau.
- Red wine
- Orange soft drink (if it is natural juice, much better)
- Sugar
- Fresh fruit: orange, lemon, strawberries, apple, banana, melon, blueberries, grapes... Whatever is in season. The better the sangria, the more variety of fruit. If it's all citrus, they haven't tried too hard...
- Cinnamon stick (optional)
There are slight variations on what is included change the natural orange juice for orange or lemon soda. There are even those who make sangria with soda. All these formulas are valid and are very rich. The important thing is that they make it in the same establishment and not pour a liter of bottled sangria into a pretty jar...

Did you know...
The Templars of Pollença
The first owners of Mount Calvario were the Templars who received these lands for their help to Jaime I of Aragon in the Conquest of Mallorca, in 1229. The Templars established themselves as authentic feudal lords with great autonomy from the clergy and the monarchy. This allowed them to abuse their power, collecting taxes from those who accessed their territories, even obtaining their own church, the Mare de Déu dels Àngels, located in the Plaza Mayor de Pollença and, what is worse, dispensing their own justice through from the gallows In fact, the top of El Calvari was previously known as Puig de les Forques (mount of gallows). Over the years, Pollença grew and became one of the most important towns in Mallorca in the 13th century. With the growth of the town and tired of the abuses, the confrontations between the citizens of Pollença with the Templars also grew. Finally, the presence of the Templars in Mallorca ended in 1312 with the disappearance of the Order by order of the Pope.
