Beach umbrella mishaps and croqueta escapes on a Mallorcan shore
A columnist recounts a Sunday drive to the east of Mallorca, where a beach umbrella took flight in a gust of wind, narrowly missing beachgoers. The author reflects on the drama of beach life, noting that a nearby man suffered a wardrobe malfunction exposing his testicle, which the author declined to point out due to language barriers. The piece is a lighthearted observation of Mediterranean beach scenes.
