A traveling writer needs to know the history, where to find inspiration, a great place to write, and a great place to lay their head. That way all your energy can funnel into creating!<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">History<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Mediterranean islands such as Mallorca, have always attracted invaders and settlers that shape the history of the land. In Mallorca, you can still see pre-historic remains from settlements including churches and fortresses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.seemallorca.com\/history\" class=\"rank-math-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mallorca<\/a> has also attracted writers such as French writer <a href=\"https:\/\/theculturetrip.com\/europe\/spain\/articles\/a-literary-travel-guide-to-mallorca\/\" class=\"rank-math-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">George Sands<\/a> who wrote &#8220;A Winter In Mallorca&#8221;, and the English poet and novelist Robert Graves. Graves moved to the island in 1929 and said that he found everything that he wanted as a writer. &#8220;Sun, sea, mountains, spring water, shady trees, no politics, and a few civilized luxuries such as electric light and a bus service to\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"rank-math-link\" href=\"https:\/\/theculturetrip.com\/europe\/spain\/palma-de-mallorca\/\" target=\"_blank\">Palma<\/a>, the capital.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Graves lived in Deia, a mountain village where he was inspired by the peaceful atmosphere of the island. Due to his influence, many writers followed in his footsteps. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Inspo<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With its relaxed vibe and history, the island itself will give you plenty of inspiration. If that doesn&#8217;t work then head over to the bars for some people watching or check out some of these literary tours and landmarks:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. <a

his days is now a\u00a0small museum\u00a0dedicated to the writer, and he is buried in the local churchyard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img

then you would enjoy staying in the city of Palma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, if you are more inclined to spend your time at the beach then it would be better to stay outside of Palma. Take note that some hotels are on the water near Palma but are on a pier and not a beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For those looking for a place to stay that is on the beach, we highly recommend Innside Cala Blanca. It is one of the more beautiful resorts on the island but with plenty of places to relax and write.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/fcMn9EdcsVgv1cAK7\" class=\"rank-math-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Innside Cala Blanca<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-coblocks-gallery-carousel\"><div class=\"is-cropped coblocks-gallery has-no-alignment has-caption-style-dark has-horizontal-gutter\"><div class=\"has-carousel has-carousel-lrg\" style=\"height:400px\" data-flickity=\"{&quot;autoPlay&quot;:false,&quot;draggable&quot;:true,&quot;pageDots&quot;:false,&quot;prevNextButtons&quot;:true,&quot;wrapAround&quot;:true,&quot;cellAlign&quot;:&quot;center&quot;,&quot;pauseAutoPlayOnHover&quot;:false,&quot;freeScroll&quot;:false,&quot;arrowShape&quot;:{&quot;x0&quot;:10,&quot;x1&quot;:60,&quot;y1&quot;:50,&quot;x2&quot;:65,&quot;y2&quot;:45,&quot;x3&quot;:20},&quot;thumbnails&quot;:false,&quot;responsiveHeight&quot;:false}\"><div class=\"coblocks-gallery--item\"><figure class=\"coblocks-gallery--figure has-margin-left-5 has-margin-left-mobile-5 has-margin-right-5 has-margin-right-mobile-5\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"674\" src=\"https:\/\/livingwriter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Screen-Shot-2021-12-17-at-4.04.59-PM-3-1024x674.png\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"2236\" data-link=\"https:\/\/livingwriter.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=2236\" class=\"wp-image-2236\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/livingwriter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Screen-Shot-2021-12-17-at-4.04.59-PM-3-1024x674.png 1024w, https:\/\/livingwriter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Screen-Shot-2021-12-17-at-4.04.59-PM-3-300x197.png 300w, https:\/\/livingwriter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Screen-Shot-2021-12-17-at-4.04.59-PM-3-768x505.png 768w, https:\/\/livingwriter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Screen-Shot-2021-12-17-at-4.04.59-PM-3.png 1062w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"coblocks-gallery--item\"><figure class=\"coblocks-gallery--figure has-margin-left-5 has-margin-left-mobile-5 has-margin-right-5 has-margin-right-mobile-5\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"498\" height=\"331\" src=\"https:\/\/livingwriter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Screen-Shot-2021-12-17-at-4.04.50-PM-1.png\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"2237\" data-link=\"https:\/\/livingwriter.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=2237\" class=\"wp-image-2237\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/livingwriter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Screen-Shot-2021-12-17-at-4.04.50-PM-1.png 498w, https:\/\/livingwriter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Screen-Shot-2021-12-17-at-4.04.50-PM-1-300x199.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 498px) 100vw, 498px\" \/><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"coblocks-gallery--item\"><figure class=\"coblocks-gallery--figure has-margin-left-5 has-margin-left-mobile-5 has-margin-right-5 has-margin-right-mobile-5\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"532\" src=\"https:\/\/livingwriter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Screen-Shot-2021-12-17-at-4.04.40-PM-1-1024x532.png\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"2238\" data-link=\"https:\/\/livingwriter.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=2238\" class=\"wp-image-2238\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/livingwriter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Screen-Shot-2021-12-17-at-4.04.40-PM-1-1024x532.png 1024w, https:\/\/livingwriter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Screen-Shot-2021-12-17-at-4.04.40-PM-1-300x156.png 300w, https:\/\/livingwriter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Screen-Shot-2021-12-17-at-4.04.40-PM-1-768x399.png 768w, https:\/\/livingwriter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Screen-Shot-2021-12-17-at-4.04.40-PM-1.png 1192w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Getting around: <\/strong>As Mallorca is an island, it is not as easy to get around as the major cities in Spain. You might want to rent a car if you are outside of Palma and plan to do a lot of traveling around. Otherwise, it&#8217;s best to choose a location that is central to where you would like to go and just walk from there. However, there are cab services like Cabify on the island. You can also ask your hotel to set up a cab service for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>When to go:<\/strong> The best time to go to Mallorca is in the shoulder seasons which are April to May and September to October. The temperature is warm and there are fewer crowds than in the summer seasons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">If you loved this Travel Writer&#8217;s Guide To Mallorca then be sure to share with your friends, and check out the rest of <a href=\"http:\/\/livingwriter.com\/\">LivingWriter<\/a>&#8216;s Travel Writing Guides!<\/h5>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This Travel Writer&#8217;s Guide To Mallorca focuses on a guide to travel with the specific needs of a writer in mind.
