Spain: Mallorca
I actually imagined it would be really bad. But, as is so often the case, my imagination is very different from reality. Mallorca, the largest of the Balearic Islands, has been a tourist destination since the 19th century. The holiday island around the corner now generates over ten billion marks a year in tourism. Clichés cling to this island like blowflies to a sticky flytrap - Mallorca is not yet known as a windsurfing island.
I am all the more surprised at the airport when my surfing equipment is not the only thing that the ground staff heave into the baggage hall separately. The owner of the second boardbag is ready to answer: "To the bay of Alcúdia and Pollença in the north-east," he replies to my question about where he is going surfing, packs his boardbag onto a suitcase trolley and squeaks out of the hall.
