MAY 9 – 16, 2019

This will be our third year to this incredible island off Barcelona where history, food, wine, hiking and some of the world’s best cycling come together to make for an awe-inspiring week. Imagine an island with turquoise-blue seas, secret sparkling coves, glorious beaches, lush green foliage, majestic mountains, soulful, picture-postcard hill-top villages and the vibrant, historical capital of Palma. Mallorca has a rich cultural history dating back centuries, a deep artisan & cultural scene and gastronomic excellence, making it an island paradise.

You will spend seven glorious nights in the majestic and elegant five-star Castillo Hotel Son Vida, which sits high above Palma de Mallorca in the 13th century estate of Son Vida. There are sub-tropical lush gardens, incredible golf courses and incomparable views of the Bay of Palma.

For cyclists, Mallorca is one of the ultimate cycling locations on the planet! The rise and fall of the spectacular Tramuntana Mountains makes Mallorca the perfect cycling playground for all levels of cyclists, from moderate to expert. You will get to

enjoy rides led by local guides starting right from Castillo Son Vida and from starting points off property.

Do you prefer to hike, golf, shop? Are you a history buff? Mallorca is a paradise for everyone! You can choose to explore the island on a coastal and/or inland hike in the Tramuntana Mountains. There are three golf courses all a stone’s throw away from the hotel. Wine lover? Join David Lawrason on some fantastic wine tastings. There is a fantastic cultural tour of Palma, including a visit to the magnificent 13th century Santa Maria Cathedral and you can enjoy a fantastic tapas dinner tour with Jonathan Lerner, a local food and cultural expert.

There will be two unforgettable wine tastings: one with wine enthusiast Jim Cuddy and another at Bodega Castell Miquel Winery, a secluded winery. Here you will enjoy a luxurious evening with Spanish tapas and world class wines and you will hear the incredible come-back journey of Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir! There will be numerous unplugged sessions in the bar at Castillo Son Vida with Jim Cuddy, Barney Bentall, Bill

Had high expectations for this trip and wasn’t disappointed! We never do “tour” vacations! Who knew a week at Adult Camp with 70 strangers would be so much fun! Great food and wine, incredible entertainment both on and off stage! We have new friends from across the country, and so many fun memories! Wonder where we will go next...
