Calvia rewards British tourist for 50 years of return visits

IT has been 50 years since holidaymaker Barbara Halbert started regularly visiting Calvia and the town council wanted to express its gratitude over such a long-lived faithfulness.
The heart-warming event was celebrated at Paguera’s Hotel Cala Fornells and attended by council representatives, as well as the town mayor, Alfonso Rodriguez Badal, and other hotel guests.
The mayor gave Ms Halbert a Siurell, a typically Mallorcan clay figure which is also a whistle, as well as a commemorative photograph and other gifts to reward her loyalty to the area. She also received bouquet of flowers and a plaque from the hotel director Maria Peña, who delivered a speech thanking her for the many years of support.
