Our last day in Pollenca, Mallorca

Today is our last day at the villa, in Pollenca, in Mallorca and in Spain. We are sad, and what is the best remedy for sadness...shopping of course. Bobby stays home to do some computer work, while Mike, Gayle and I drive to Pollenca for breakfast.

Mike goes for the white bread Jamon and Queso

Mike reads while Gayle and I shop. 
Pollenca is reminiscent of our Scottsdale in pricing and type of merchandise.

This was a beauty salon we passed, and I couldn't resist sticking my nose in and snapping this pic.

Our last supper at the villa with our favorite Pa Amb Oli or Pa Amb Tomaquet. This consists of  a piece of toasted bread, a half clove of garlic which is rub on the toasted surface, halved tomato squeezed on the toasted bread, salted and then drizzled with olive oil. Cheese, meat, or anything you desire can be added. It's the best! 
YUMMY!

This is a friend we made at the villa and it was very hard for us to leave him. 
He is a "feral" cat we named "Boots". I put feral in quotes because that is what he is, but he was not the usual wild, spooky feral cat. He was so lovable and friendly...looking for a "forever" home and thinking he had found it. Here, he is eating some left over extra large sardines from Mike's and Gayle's lunch. We left cat food and a note asking the next visitors to feed him, (because the caretaker will not). 
I hope they do!

Narrow driveway that gave me fits. I was the designated driver.

A great Botero sculpture sends us on our way!

THANK YOU!
We had a wonderful time and appreciate the opportunity to experience this unique part of Spain!
Adeu fins que ens reunim de nou!
Goodbye until we meet again!
