Holiday Destinations, News and Information

Well to answer this question, there is a formula that everyone can use to find their perfect holiday.
MONEY + WANTS + PRICE = DESTINATION
My dad has been looking around for a holiday on the internet & the best value for money he can find is to go back to his roots in Majorca, Spain.
My dad owned & run a hotel in Paguera, Majorca during the 1960’s – 1970’s with his brother Ian.
Now, you’re thinking so what – this is common place for British people to do now and is still seemed as a dream by a lot of people in the 40’s.
But back in the 1960’s my dad (and his brother) were one of the 1st British families who emigrated to Spain. The hotel Santa Margarita was located in the middle of Paguera, and built on the classic Spanish style with the bedrooms on 2 floors round a central courtyard & garden bar.
Visitors included Manchester United football club (inc. Bobby Charlton, Sir Matt Busby, and Frank O Farrell), Joe “Mr Piano” Henderson, and a certain Sammy Davis Jnr.
The main business in summer was dancing in the courtyard to a local band, with up to 200 people per night coming into the hotel with the bar closing at midnight.
In 1975 the family sold up and returned to England where my dad met my mother – but that’s a different story entirely.
