Mallorca = Where Nadal was born.
And also , Spain is where we have the biggest number of high quality tennis players , like Nadal , Ferrer , Almagro , Verdasco , Ferrero , Granollers , Feliciano Lopez , and many more! :conf:

YEAH! Those were the plans for my TAR:Spain season too. Tennis in Mallorca (even though I changed that).
Spain is really needed for a re-visit. But for a second time in the history of the show, I would not have chosen Mallorca, basically because there's a lot of places made for foreign people, there are towns in which 90% of the inhabitants are foreigners, and I think that the culture of Spain could be featured in any other place somehow better. I also see a bull related task, and I do not think that Mallorca is famous for bulls... at all. Maybe Seville, or any pther southern city, but definitely not Mallorca.
We could expect a great sightseeing of the historic centre (I was there a couple of years ago, and I like it), and maybe some beaches. The tennis, I would place it in Manacor, the village in which Nadal was born (and probably where he used to train too). I do not know. I'll have to watch the episode before saying anything else.

Nice find. It's better than Drac for a possible north-island Detour (Blow/Bull), considering the Muro bullring that Alenaveda found.

Manacor fits perfect on Slowhatch spec. It's 45 minutes from the Caves of Campanet in the north part of the island.

According to this report from Reuters, Mr. Nadal does indeed train on practice courts in his hometown (Manacor).
So, I don't think that a 'Bravo!' for all of you is at all premature ... :)
