Summary "The Fortunate Isles: Life and Travel in Majorca, Minorca and Iviza" by Mary Stuart Boyd is a travel memoir written in the early 20th century. This book provides an engaging account of the author's experiences in the Balearic Islands, focusing particularly on Majorca, Minorca, and Iviza. Through her reflections, the author aims to capture the charm and character of these lesser-known travel destinations, contrasting their serene beauty against the backdrop of bustling Europe. At the start of the memoir, the narrator recounts their journey from London to Barcelona, leading to an anticipated trip on the steamer "Balear" towards Majorca. Filled with excitement, they experience an overwhelming sense of adventure as they embark on their voyage, despite the turbulent political climate surrounding them in Spain. Upon arrival, the author paints a vivid picture of Palma, the capital of Majorca, with its vibrant market, picturesque landscapes, and intriguing cultural aspects. As they settle into their new surroundings, they are eager to explore and embrace the unique lifestyle of the islands, creating a foundation for the stories that follow.
