Now converted, expensive villas those properties are. From what I find, that tower just might have been a mill, with the coolie hat top and windmill sails removed. Photos of similar structures in the area all referred to them as mills. Did find one photo of a mill with its parts. https://www.alamy.com/old-stone-mill-in-the-majorcan-town-of-felanitx-spain-image502875201.html

1 day agoYes, this sure seems like cycling central. Tomorrow we are heading up to Porto Palenca, and will see if it is still quieter. Thanks for your vote re the brake levers. We are certainly leaning that way ourselves.
1 day agoYes, you landed in the middle of the action in Alcudia. And, at nearly the busiest season for cycling in Mallorca. Not far away, in Porto Pollenca, is the sleepy zone. I’d say it’s my all-time favourite hang-out from all the tours over the years. It ticked all the boxes and more. We stayed in mid-May just after all the bikers head home. Mallorca is on my must-return-one-day list. I’m enjoying re-visiting it and seeing that you are enjoying it too. Re: the brake lever… go with the Shimano set-up (IMHO).
1 day agoYup..corner gossip is universal.
2 days agoGood to hear. We will see how things feel on our ride today, and then may be back to the shop to get the brake levers swapped out before we head for France and the hills of Provence.
2 days agoProbably the difference between Mallorca and Girona. In my experience, electrolyte tablets are rare in bike shops in Spain, France, and Italy.
2 days agoMaybe a more recent stockage? They had lots in both bike shops we visited here today.
2 days agoI have Shimano brake levers on all my bikes , including my mountain bike which is SRAM except for the brakes, and they work fine for my fairly small hands. The reach should be adjustable.
2 days agoFunny, we could find none in Girona, the other Spanish cycling mecca.

Mirrcycle is an American company and they do make good mirrors. According to their website, they cannot ship out of the USA at this time, and they can't ship to Hawaii either.
2 days agoThere is salt everywhere! The place is very interesting. Next time we will need to take the guided tour.
