EUROPE

Mallorca is favorited by many looking for a beach getaway. However, I’m here to tell you six reasons why you should stay far, far away from ever stepping foot on the island.

1. The beaches are scenic and sparkle with crystal-clear waters. Hideous!

2. Spanish tapas offer a variety of gastronomic experiences. So weird!

3. Sangria is so refreshing. Sorry, but water is better.

4. The traditional dish of paella is full of flavors. Gross!

5. There is colorful architecture everywhere and that is definitely something you don't want to see.

6. There's history around every corner ... snooze! Who wants to transport back to their middle school history class? Not me!

I don’t know about you but a place filled with colorful beaches, Spanish tapas, flavorful paella, ice-cold sangria, striking architecture and lots of historic sites doesn’t sound like a dream vacay to me! Best be safe and opt for another place to visit this summer! I’ll take one for the team and spend my days on this glorious … I mean … horrible island.

Happy travels!
