Swimming Pools Without Chlorine

We are so accustomed to the chlorine in a swimming pool that most times we barely notice it. It's only when we experience a non-chlorine pool that we realise just how much nicer it can be.
The main alternative to traditional chlorine is salt-water electrolysis. Although people usually describe this as a salt-water swimming pool, it's a bit of a misnomer as it's really nothing like swimming in sea water.

To many people the image of Mallorca is drunken parties and over-crowded beaches in resorts like Magaluf and Arenal. But the more adventurous discover another side to Mallorca away from these areas. Towns like Soller and Valldemossa offer pretty streets and beautiful mountain views, interesting shops, bars and restaurants and a range of cultural attractions.

More Places to Visit in the North of Mallorca

We discovered this fantastic little town halfway through our holiday in Puerto Pollensa, and subsequently spent 3 afternoons there on the beach. The resort is enclosed in a rocky bay, with 2km of stunning 250m dead drop cliffs to the east (if you do the Boquer Valley walk then this is the ridge to your west). There are 3 beaches in the bay, all very small. The first beach as you come in on the main road was our favourite,

Places to Visit in the North of Mallorca

Alcudia is the part of the town housed within the old city walls, not to be confused with the modern port across the peninsula or the resort running down the coast south of the peninsula. A charming little town which is well worth a half day trip (perhaps combine with Can Picafort or some walking on the Alcudian peninsula for a full day trip),
