By nature, a travel writer is constantly in search of new destinations, new angles, emerging trends so its rare indeed for our regular travelgurus to revisit the same place. The breadth of their combined knowledge is unrivalled but when it comes down to the nitty gritty, its hard to beat up to date, first hand recommendations.
Being resident in a tourist area would certainly qualify you as a local guru. Equally those who own second homes or simply have fallen in love with a location and make it their annual holiday base have a font of 'guru' knowledge that deserves to be shared...
What we are after is the kind of information everyone strives to find in the course of a holiday - the best places to stay, eat and visit, hidden gems, avoiding the crowds and top tips on where the locals go. The sort of advice that can save time, effort and costly mistakes.
To start us off we have an insider guide to Soller, Majorca penned by one the travelguru team, Sally Dowling. Having visited many times, Sally and husband Clive are big fans of this once little known village on Majorca. To view Sally's notes on Soller just click on the Local Guru label.
