Raggle Taggle Gypsies in Mallorca

It’s a real paradise, by any standards.  Enviably situated in the heart of the Spanish Mediterranean, Mallorca has a fantastic and deserved reputation for pleasure and excitement.  It’s also a wonderful place to come to relax and come back to your senses by engaging the senses.  The heady combination of sea, culture, and music is very potent, and can cure most anyone’s ills.  People from all over the world are drawn to Mallorca as if it were a magnetic, and perhaps it is.  It certainly does have a special magnetic charm, and for all these reasons is a superb place for five star hotels.  Mallorca has a long tradition for cultural exchanges, having seen a dizzying number of civilizations pass through here for thousands of years, and they know how to take care of guests.

You’ll be treated with world-class hospitality, where the traditions of Mallorca’s great past mix with the latest in contemporary Spanish sensibility, which is to say, the height of style and fashionable courtesies.  Mallorca offers something for everyone, with fantastic explorations of the island’s historical and prehistorical areas during the day, and a magnificent night life after dark.  You never really know what to expect here, because there’s such a wide range of music.  There’s plenty of techno everywhere you look, and there are also some extraordinary culture clashes that happen here, with so many guests coming from other parts of the world.

The Raggle Taggle Gypsies, for example, have been becoming a local favorite, giving audiences a magnificent time of it.  They’re based in Central Scotland, and have a very busy schedule with their regular, and irregular, gigs in Glasgow.  They’re a very lively collection of guys, playing a fantastic selection of Celtic classics, but also play their own music, and even dive into Latin music and pop music covers.  It’s fascinating to see the energies of multiple places blend together, and in Mallorca, this particular blend is just exquisite.
