The Old Smugglers Inn — Restaurant in Sant Josep de sa Talaia

Where ever I go I always sample the local delicacies, however on this holiday I opted for all inclusive which in hindsight wasn’t a great move, food was ok, plenty of it etc but not brilliant, same with the alcohol, plenty of it but not the best brands.

We both ordered curries and enjoyed every single mouthful. I absolutely hate bars and pubs, but this place is something else. (Maybe it's just the time of year). It's definitely a...
