Mallorca Magic: A Love Story Unveiled: Pernilla's connection to Mallorca is interwoven into the very fabric of her life—a tale that commenced with childhood vacations, deepened through teenage escapades with a half-Mallorcan friend. Later, in adulthood, she met the father of her daughter, and they spent considerable time here in Mallorca. Eventually, they made the pivotal decision to establish Mallorca as their permanent home. Life brought unexpected twists, leading to divorce, but the family chose to remain in Mallorca. Seven years ago, Pernilla met her current life partner, leading to marriage and the birth of a son. Mallorca ceased to be just a place; it became her anchor.
