LOCATION: Son Penyaflor, Alaro, Mallorca, the Med.



THE FINCA
We're getting married at Son Penyaflor, a beautiful 13th Century Finca in the foothills of the Serra de Tramuntana (Mallorca's Mount Tibidabo...), overlooking the central Es Pla. It's bloody stonking - all trees, flowers, arches, shady nooks and cobbles - so ladies - beware of high heels (and Laura's brother Neil).

Part of its stonking-ocity is that it is a little out in the country, lying just outside the small town of Alaro.  Parking will be available in the fields behind the Finca. Cows and local sheep are not expected to cause much trouble, so cars can be left overnight and picked up the next day. Or whenever your alcohol level returns to normal.

THE TOWN
Alaro is just off the PM-27 motorway, before you reach Inca (if you're driving from Palma). It's a very quaint market town, famous for being the first on the island for having electricity. Little has changed since, with lots of local restaurants, wine bars and its Castell d'Alaro (which is known as being one of the 'classic excursions' on the island... thank you Wikipedia).

TRANSPORT ON THE DAY
We're going to organise transport to do shuttle runs from the venue from 11.30pm to take you back to your hotels, villas and tents in Alaro until 3am.

For all other trips, or if you peak too early, there is a local taxi firm run by Andres, who speaks decent English:
