Classy without being expensive


- Unfortunately the Café Mirall has had to close, for more cafés and lounges in Majorca, see SkyBlue Mallorca

Café Mirall is a brand new Café in the centre of Palma which is a refeshing take of a classy stylish café in that it will not break the bank.

At Café Mirall you can have a great coffee, tea, healthy breakfast or light meal for a very attractive price. The breakfasts are especially attractive as you can get a healthy muesli or breakfast combination which is diffiucult to come by in Palma.

Café Mirall is the latest addition to SkyBlue Mallorca's Cafes and Lounges section.

Ross Abrams Exhibition at Rialto Living, Palma


In May 2006, Ross Abrams (1920-2006) slipped and fell while walking along the path that leads down to the sea from his adopted home village of Deià. It marked the end of a long and productive life, more than half of which he spent in Mallorca, creating a diverse and extensive body of work, as well as raising three children together with his artist wife, Mary Tatum.
Whereas Mary painted on canvas in a bold and colourful style, Ross preferred to create on a smaller scale, producing primarily prints employing woodcut, silk screen, and etching techniques. He was a meticulous craftsman with an unerring eye for form and perspective. His work, while being very attentive to detail, has at times an almost Zen-like simplicity: there is more there than what he has brought to visible life with strokes of the brush or pencil. Such an effect can only be achieved through innate talent combined with acquired skills and years of experience.

This exhibition at Rialto Living is the first posthumous showing of Ross Abrams´ work.
The inauguration of the exhibition will take place on Thursday 16th of April at 19.30 pm and will continue until the 26th of May 2009 at Rialto Living.

foodie events

There is always something going on in Mallorca in the way of food and drink.. and one of SkyBlue Mallorca's missions it to keep you abreast with all the events before they happen - so you don't miss a single one! We have already covered numerous events this year, 2009, and well, today is only the 1st of April.. ! So far we have had the FEVI 2009, (wine fair); Alimenta 2009 (food and drink fair), our own exclusive SkyBlue Mallorca wine tasting, to name just 3 of the bigger ones!

A very well know gastronomic event which takes place every year is the Mostra de Cuina. Previously, this event has taken on the form of a fair; it has taken place over a few days at a particular venue and participating restaurants had a stand where you could go and try some of their cusine at very affordable prices. This year will be different: this year Restauració want you to experience the restaurants themselves by going to visit them and being able to enjoy a set menu, again at very affordable prices, and they have organised several routes across the island to enable you to do so. Find out more now on SkyBlue Mallorca!
