spain · May — October
The sanctuary era. BLESS at The Site opens in June, Nômade Temple at Portinatx the same month, and Parador Dalt Vila inside the UNESCO citadel since March. Less club, more cala — and a polo field nobody talks about.
Where to begin
The addresses I would send to a friend on the first visit. The full guide is below.
