Thanks for the advise guys, we’ve been on a (normal) holiday to Lanzarote and did the ferry trip across to Fuerteventura and my lasting memory was the constant wind, all day and night! There wasn’t a lot there either and really have no urge to return, kind of expect Tenerife to be the same.
Still keen on Mallorca and would take Shamrocks advice and stay in Port de Pollença my only concern at this point would be Touch’s point about the weather, while we’re not really sun bathing, sit round pool & bar drinking all day types, we do like to spend a little time sitting on a nice beach, swimming and snorkelling. We’re more out and about exploring types who need another holiday when we get back!!!
