In 1994, in a sadly typical geeky mood, I took my camera and walked along the promenade in Puerto Pollensa, starting at what now is Can Pescador and finishing at Tolo's, snapping in panoramic style. It is interesting to see how the resort has changed in the intervening twenty-odd years. The 44 photos can be viewed here:-

I hope this is of some interest to fellow forum members. Comments and/or observations are welcome.

Can only say that PP has matured very well since '94

Thank you for taking the time and sharing the pictures.
 
Superb, thanks. A great 'historical' record.

Have you thought of repeating the exercise exactly, and taking the equivalent 'today' photos from the same spots ?
 
Superb so many memories that you forget and the changes i remeber when their was no beach from the ROMANTIC to the inlet and before TOLOS was there !!! and the vimpy bar was on the rounderbout
 
I really enjoyed looking at your photos - 1994 was our first visit to PP and we have been visiting nearly every year since. It was interesting to see that some things have not changed much at all. I saw a couple of apartments that we have stayed at over the years. I noticed on one photo that on corner next to Supermarket Playa there is a bit of land which has obviously been built on since but I cannot think what it is:eek:

Click to expand...

Santa Fe now stands on that corner ...we first came in 1998 and it had been built on then..there was a gift shop and flats above ..in later years became The Taj
 
Forum Folks,

I have reversed the order of the photos to make it more natural, particularly when swiping on a tablet. Apologies to anyone who was viewing while I did this!
 
Brilliant photos DaveRave! Nothing much has changed ...our first visit was 1988 and even then it didn't look very different. The biggest change is that you rarely see those white plastic chairs anymore!!! Even the Daina and the Sis Pins had them 'back in the day' :eek:
 
Photos remind me of our 1st visit 1989,stayed at Hostal Galleon.Thomson small&friendly!! It was so, a little basic and "rustic" but magical in a strange way.Llenaire was a quiet relaxing pace in those days. The beach was about 3m wide.sea coming right up to road,Restraunt Llenaire was excellent,Pepe in charge,and far enough away to make a lovely evening stroll to town.The Pine walk was buzzing inthose days,full of craft stalls and musicians every night.
We enjoyed evening meals in Petite Paris,food superb.
Sis Pins did lunches of med types meals never had before! Pork fillet grilled with garlic and pine nuts and green beans roast in the oven! Whoever roast green beans!!
Before the beach was laid customers at Hotel Pollentia would swim from a metal ladder into the sea from a platform by the pavement.
I had a guidebook that told me of a restaurant in Poll called Font de Gall,thought we would go,took a taxi had a drink in sq at Juma,not much else there then,never got to Font,found Can Costa instead,had many happy nights there.
So here I am probably over 100 visits later and PP and Poll still no1 spot.
 
brilliant photos , my mum has got pictures before the pedestrian along the front , ned to dig them out and post iv been going for nearly 30 years and seen a lot of changes and love to see the development of PP through the years , all for the good ,just another 32 days until I'm back , LOVE PP
 
Awh,brilliant, it has been pouring down here since we awoke this morning and your photos have put smiles on our faces. You would never remember the place in such detail. Thanks for that !
 
Great Pics

I think we started coming around the time your pics were taken and although every resort changes over time it still keeps and retains that lovely welcoming feeling .


Great to look at on a such a miserable day !

Cheers

can anyone remember what year Tolo moved from Restraunt Llenaire to his current location?
 
not sure but pre-87,suspect around 85.
