What another boost for Mallorca as millions of Britons set about booking their holidays.
According to the TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice Awards 2022, Playa de Muro, in the north east of Mallorca, has been voted the third Best Beach in Europe.
The top two were Spiaggia dei Conigli - Lampedusa, Italy and Praia da Falésia - Olhos de Agua, Portugal.
Some of the comments about Playa de Muro read: “A long, white sandy beach which you will find hard to beat. Great for everybody but particularly families with children as the beach is gently shelving and has lifeguard coverage - who are particularly hot when it comes to safety.”
Another posted: Playa de Muro has a wonderful, sandy beach with a warm, clear turquoise sea. Ideal for children because of its gentle, shallow waters.”

It's TripAdvisor. Hardly representative of the collective view, despite that being its supposed purpose. Nonetheless, it's followed by millions, so this (temporary)"rating" can only be good for Mallorca. Although next week it'll be someplace else that's the "world's best", and Mallorca may not even be mentioned. Rather random, really. We just got lucky.
It is what it is but I don't see the comparisons here. Cairo : Hugely overcrowded, chaotic, dirty, smelly, fascinatingly exotic for a short visit. If that is number two then perhaps Mallorca needs to up its game in that regard - to get even more tourists in. A bit less regulation, a bit more laissez faire. Some of you will remember why you settled here all those years ago.
Yeah, it's quite an accolade. But then, it's from TripAdvisor 😳 So ok, it can't hurt.
