Cycling champ Bradley Wiggins headed to the Spanish island of Mallorca to unwind after his recent successes in the Olympics and Tour de France and rumour has it now could be tempted by a home there.

‘Wiggo’ recently described the Mallorcan resort of Puerto Pollensa as a home from home, having spent long stints training there, as well as numerous family holidays. This is despite him having lived in France for a number of years previously and being fluent in French.
Wiggo was born in Belgium, grew up in North London but now lives in Lancashire. He is also a well-known mod, so should feel right at home in Spain, where one of the most popular ways of getting around is by scooter – of which he has his own collection!
So where would Wiggo park his bike – or scooter – if he were searching for his ideal property? He enjoys soaking up the atmosphere in Puerto Pollensa’s numerous restaurants and bars and has two young children, so somewhere within walking of the resort’s beach, and lively seafront and main square would be ideal.
How about an apartment at this new Taylor Wimpey España gated development, called Aires de Pollensa and just a five-minute walk from Puerto Pollensa’s beach and promenade. Ground-floor apartments come with a large terrace and private garden, while first-floor apartments have generous sized terraces. There is underground parking and a communal pool. Two and three-bedroom units remain with prices starting from €275,400.
