Hello! ¿No habla español?, @Mi-Amigo - Mallorca is ...

"The Balearic Islands are an archipelago off eastern Spain, in the Mediterranean. Mallorca (Majorca), the largest island, is known for its beaches, scenic coastline and the Serra de Tramuntana mountains to the north. Palma, the capital city, is known for its Gothic cathedral with an altar canopy by modern architect Antoni Gaudí, and Almudaina, a Moorish royal palace. ― Google"

Every day's a learning day here on the Forum 👍🤣

Plus I was there on holiday in July, and my British guide book agrees with the Spanish spelling.

No problemo, @Mi-Amigo 👍

And thank you for a great quiz, loved the selection, even if the Frozen one had me stumped for a while. And Ireland is an island off the coast of the Isle of Man, but anywhere West would get you there: the giant, Finn McCool, could only throw it so far when he scooped it up out of what now forms Lough Neagh in the north-east of the island of Ireland https://www.connollycove.com/legend-finn-mccool-isle-man/ 🤣

And well done all!

[MI5]

Thanks @Mi-Amigo
