Explore Majorca
Majorca, the Mediterranean island off the east coast of Spain, is full of beautiful beaches, plenty of gorgeous nature, and charming historic towns. No wonder it’s been the inspiration for generations of artists, from Chopin to Miro. Its towns are made up of tiny Spanish cafes, tapas bars, bustling markets, and cozy artisan shops to experience the local lifestyle. Or you can sun soak at the beach and explore the numerous coastal caves and cliffs for stunning views.

Benji is a wealth of information. I learned so much and had a great time exploring local wineries, farms and stores in Mallorca.

He took my creative brief really seriously, and we did a ton each day. He took me to an organic farm where we got a tour and learned about organic growing methods, then used the produce from this farm to make a traditional Mallorcan d Read moreJanet G., United States
Our day with Benji was a very interesting and fun experience. We started at Benji’s home where we were treated to vegetable and fruit smoothies as Benji explained the health benefits and how to combine just the right ingredients. Then we drove to the local fish market and picked out our fish for ceviche, and saw the quaint town of Sa Pobla.
Next we headed to Benji’s father-in-law’s house with Read more
