First time to Majorca and have plumped for a villa just outside Pollensa.
Can any of you veterans tell me if we need to take any Mosquito precautions when sleeping at night ?
many thanks.
May's about the worst month for mosquitoes, but near to Pollensa - I presume you mean the old town - doubtful there'll be a problem as there is little by way of water. Puerto Pollensa's a different matter especially near to the La Gola or Albufereta wetlands.
the villa is up in the hills a bit,. near the old town of Pollensa.
I guess we will just have to take precautions when we go to the beach !
many thanks for yor input.
Pleasure. Down on the beach - no problems. Just by the marshy bits inland.
Been going to PP in May for 10 years now, staying near the centre just opposite the beach. NEVER had a problem with mosquitoes (and my wife suffers badly so she's an expert on the subject). September is a different story, lots of them then cos of the heat at night.
i use lemon soap/no aftershave/and have a pen in my bag at all times.(ones you can dab on you).plus plug ins in my room on all the time.not the carded ones they are no good.you need the liquid bottle ones.
and use aftersun with mosquito repellant in it.legs arms bak are ok.but if you get bite on the face and it swells up.see the doctor or go to the clinic.asap.
Oh dear looks like we will have to take extra mossy protection, we are staying at the Lagotel which is next to the s'Albufera nature park and wetlands.
