Hi, We are a couple (40ies) thinking of spending 7-10 days in Mallorca at the end of the month, so there's not much time to plan. It will be our first trip there. Mostly we want to relax, but we are interested in some beach time and cycling. Also hiking if the weather suits. We prefer quiet places rather than big cities / resorts. Suggestions on where to base? Somewhere charming... (Ideally close to the beach but with access to cycle on some hills.)
Any thoughts on whether to base in one locale or two? Enough to keep us busy for 10 days at this time of year? (I suspect many things close at the end of October.) Any cycling or hiking recommendations would be appreciated. (We would have to rent bikes.) Also, rental car advised or is the public transport quite convenient? Midrange hotel suggestions in any recommended areas would also be very helpful.
Thanks for any suggestions!
