About this book
Mary Stuart Boyd answers a warning about the Balearic Islands by going there with the companions she calls the Man and the Boy. First published in 1911, her travel account covers Majorca, Minorca and Iviza, beginning with a steamer crossing from Barcelona. Electric lights and visitors crowd the ship before departure; by morning, the travellers see Palma's cathedral, walls and warm coloured stone.
At Alcudia, ancient gateways and winding streets lead into the practical details of island travel. Boyd describes choosing lodgings near the harbour, agreeing a price with the innkeepers and waiting for lunch in a house overlooking the bay. Rooms, meals and small exchanges with local people receive the same close attention as the scenery.
