Dear Flynnstones,
anyone who further wants to follow Madame Claudia`s footsteps tracing Flynn in Majorca, here is the place to go.
A German article recounts Errol`s funny and uncanny days at Bar Tirol in Via Apuntadores. It sums up their frequent encounters like squeezing the quintessential EF spirit into a shot glass : “He was nice, but he drank a lot.” “Er trank viel, aber er war sehr nett” (mallorcamagazin.com…)
Rotund Rudi, its stocky patron, seems to have been a very giving character. There is talk, that our Hollywood hero once was not able to walk out the door. Revolving doors? The old back injury again??
Let`s just say, for a true sailor there is no dry land.
Enjoy,
PS: The exact year when Es Moli was torn down is given as well as more information on the commemorative plaque.

Thanks for the additional info, Senor Heinz. In fact I tried to visit the Tirol Restaurant but only found a barred door with no sign at the address given (Carrer dels Apuntadors 3). Not sure if it has been closed down or if I was blind…

Isn‘t it ironic, Claudia, that you didn‘t get in where Errol couldn‘t get out? Our own flynnmate Ventu Sala may know more about Bar Tirol: www.theerrolflynnblog.com…

Aaah, it would have been great to have a guide like Ventu Sala, Heinz – but on the other hand it was quite adventurous to search for those locations, and probably more gratifying to find them on my own. :)
