English crime novelist extraordinaire, as well as short story writer and playwright, Agatha Christie is best known for her fabulous fictional detectives, Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple.<\/p>\n<p>In March 1932, Agatha Christie visited the isle of Mallorca for the first time. Arriving in Palma, she quickly realised there was a large number of English and American tourists who were in the capital of the Balearic island, making it impossible for her to find a room. It is said that on her journey to find accommodation, she passed through Port de Pollen\u00e7a and was immediately fascinated by the view from the bay.<\/p>\n<p>The beautiful landscape she found herself in would go on to inspire a complete collection of short stories entitled \u2018Problem at Pollensa Bay and Other Stories\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Inspired by the island himself, enough to make it home for his family, <strong>Marc Pritchard<\/strong>, <strong>Sales and Marketing Director,<\/strong> for leading Spanish homebuilder <a href=\"http:\/\/taylorwimpeyspain.com\/\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?hl=en-GB&amp;q=http:\/\/taylorwimpeyspain.com\/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1488534831203000&amp;usg=AFQjCNEUKxYt2P5y4UKYOXpQhRCKKxZalA\"><strong>Taylor Wimpey Espa\u00f1a<\/strong><\/a> is always delighted to introduce people to all Mallorca has to offer.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Taylor Wimpey Espa\u00f1a\u2019s<\/strong> most recent development, just 45 minutes south of the inspirational Port de Pollen\u00e7a, is the gorgeous <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/taylorwimpeyspain.com\/property\/bahia-san-pere-colonia-de-san-pedro-mallorca\/\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?hl=en-GB&amp;q=http:\/\/taylorwimpeyspain.com\/property\/bahia-san-pere-colonia-de-san-pedro-mallorca\/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1488534831204000&amp;usg=AFQjCNGJuIEswwgKeulGS0G2iixKT1X6fg\">Bahia Sant Pere<\/a><\/strong>.
