With a foundation built on hard work and determination, I pursued higher education and a successful basketball career in college. Eventually, I found my true calling in real estate, inspired by my father’s passion for building beautiful homes and my mother’s creativity for decorating them. I’ve spent over two decades providing exceptional service to sellers and buyers. My commitment to extraordinary service and high ethical standards ensures that every client receives personalized attention and achieves their real estate goals.
A Few Words from Past Clients
“Bianca and her team are amazing”
“Buying and finding a house at the top of the market was not an easy task. Bianca was very professional as well as personal. My stresses were high, as all my criteria needed to be met. Bianca is not only a fantastic Realtor, she is an excellent support system. ANYTIME there was a house we wanted to see, Bianca moved fast, as houses were flying off the market. She negotiated and helped us to obtain the house of our dreams, working hard to make sure things like repairs were fair. Bianca and her team are amazing and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to purchase a home—you won’t regret it.”
— Stacy McKenzie | Bought a single-family home in Ramona
“A wonderful experience with Bianca”
“Bianca Mendez is very efficient, truthful, knowledgeable, helpful and pleasant. My family and I had a wonderful experience with Bianca. Totally recommended! Bianca helped in making our transition to selling our home an easy one. She explained every step of the way and was on point with escrow close dates. She made the sale of our home a worry-free process.
Thank you so much, Bianca!”
— Maritza Gonzalez | Sold a single-family home in Chula Vista

A JOURNEY THROUGHPalma
With gothic cathedrals to Michelin-starred delights, Palma de Mallorca is where history meets modernity in Spain.
ISLANDS OFTEN EVOKE visions and memories of sea, sand, and balmy breezes. But when considering the Mediterranean, art, food, enchanting villages, rocky mountainous backdrops, and iconic architecture are musthave additions.
Among the four islands in the Balearic Archipelago — Mallorca, Ibiza, Menorca, and Formentera — Ibiza gets rave reviews from sun worshipers. Yet on Mallorca, the largest of the Balearics, magnificent beaches, turquoise waters, quiet coves, and craggy cliffs are only part of the appeal. Equally prized are the vibrant art scene, eclectic architecture, historic neighborhoods, and a delectable mingling of cuisines along with easy access from major cities and the Spanish mainland. It’s no coincidence that Palma, the largest city in Mallorca and regional capital, is often compared to Barcelona. The
British press celebrates Palma as “one of the best city break destinations in the world.”
With a history that extends back to the 3rd millennium BC, Mallorca is a tapestry layered by successive cultural influences and conquerors. Today, this heritage makes Palma a fascinating destination. Also, unlike typical island haunts, the city is not limited to a single season, but instead, it boasts a year-round calendar of events.
Vestiges of the medieval era are evidenced in neighborhoods like Old Town and the Arab and Jewish Quarters, where narrow streets inhibit traffic, and ancient passageways invite exploration. Historical monuments, galleries, shops and cafes present a matchless opportunity to experience a region’s multifaceted culture and history. Like other
important medieval cities, Palma once housed a Jewish Quarter, a separate walled city with its own entrances. In the Arab Quarter, the labyrinth of narrow streets is a haven of hidden treasures.
Gothic Masterpiece
The most iconic structure in the city is La Seu, a towering cathedral whose spires have become a hallmark over the centuries. One of Europe’s best examples of Gothic architecture, La Seu is built on the site of a former mosque, which was once a Roman temple. Adjacent to the cathedral lies a 13th-century palace and spended gardens, L’Almudaina. From a hilltop location just west of Palma, Bellver Castle – a unique 14th-century round castle – one can enjoy some of the best views in the city. In the summer, Mallorca comes alive with music, including concerts,
festivals, and the International Chopin Festival.
Palaces are not a rarity here. Many, such as Palacio Can Marqués in Old Town, have been refashioned as hotels. This former palace is touted as one of the capital’s most captivating and romantic historic properties. Renowned interior designer, Aline Matsika has deftly kept original features intact, balancing antique furniture with modern technology to achieve comfort and glamor. Found in the La Lonja neighborhood, it’s surrounded by the most alluring art galleries and enthralling museums in Mallorca.
Another city gem, Palama Riad, takes cues from a traditional Moroccan design and is organized around an interior garden. Elegant with a definite air of mystery, this hotel is limited to adults, offering only 11 indulgent suites. The region continues to be a Mecca for artists. Joan Miro, a Spanish painter and sculptor, spent the last part of his life in the area. For devotees following his path, Palma is the last stop. Miro’s studio is now part of the Fundació Pilar I Joan Miró, a must-visit. There is even a hotel, Joan Miro, that displays his work in guest rooms.
On the Menu
From simple seaport faire, often partaken at the water’s
edge, to Michelin-starred restaurants from celebrated chefs, Palma’s food scene delivers for foodies and culinary enthusiasts alike. Santa Catalina, a gastronomic haven, features an international mix. Proust’s Madeleine for pastries and coffee is not to be missed. Want a close-up of Mediterranean bounty? Head to the Santa Catalina Market, where you can purchase traditional favorites, such as sobrasada, wine and olives. A number of small gastrotèques allow one to savor the flavors and experiences.
Meters from the cathedral in La Calatrava, an electric neighborhood set in the middle of the old town wall, DINS
Santi Taura, helmed by Michelin-star Santi Taura, deftly balances new and old, interpreting traditional Mallorca cuisine from a contemporary point of view.
The sea views rival the decadent cuisine at Es Fum restaurant, run by Miguel Navarro at the St. Regis Mardavall. Minutes from Puerto Portals, one of Mallorca’s upscale marinas, the St. Regis offers a 4,700-square-meter Thalasso spa and wellness center.
No matter where you are on the island, there is no limit to beautiful places to dine, often on a lovely terrace, patio or rooftop. The best paella? Choices abound in a city born of the sea, but it’s worth taking the time to explore the traditional fishing ports of Portixol and Molinar, which are a short walk or taxi ride from the cathedral.
Throughout the city, the aquamarine waters seem to color every scene. Visitors can dive into the crystalline waters
even in the city. Palma Beach has fine white sand and is adjacent to the boardwalk. Throughout Mallorca, there are dozens of beach resorts and traditional fishing villages. One of the best ways to understand the scope of the destination is by boat. Excursions range from short tours to leasing a yacht or chartering a private vessel.
Ultimate Mediterranean Retreat
Another opportunity to relax and rejuvenate in the Mediterranean is the ultra-private Hotel Cap Rocat, a former 19th-century military fortress located on a private nature preserve. Expansive views of Palma Bay, the sandstone walls, and ancient sea stones on which the fortress was built surround the senses with the essence of the Mediterranean.
The hotel is limited to just 26 suites and two double rooms. Private terraces often include an exterior canopied bed, plunge pools, or gardens to luxuriate in and relax.

6 Steps to Setting the perfect Summer Table
Entertain in style this summer by coordinating your table's color scheme, linens, dinnerware and lighting.
Summer is the season of sun, fun, and outdoor entertaining, and there’s no better way to welcome friends and family than with a beautifully set table. Whether you’re hosting a casual barbecue or a sophisticated dinner under the stars, creating an inviting atmosphere is easy if you follow a few simple steps – your party will be the talk of the neighborhood!
Determine Your Color Scheme
The possibilities are endless when it comes to choosing a color scheme. To narrow down your options, think about the mood you want to capture. Pastels, like mint green, blush pink and lavender, evoke a fresh, light feel. Vibrant shades like coral, turquoise, and lemon yellow can add a playful touch. If an elegant dining experience is your goal, consider neutral tones with metallic accents, such as gold or silver. Soft whites, greens, and earth tones are ideal for a laid-back garden party.
Layer With Beautiful Linens
To keep things simple and organized, your best bet is to start with a crisp, white tablecloth. Then lay down a runner in your preferred color scheme and choose your napkins and placemats – all while keeping your desired vibe in mind. Cloth napkins and/or placemats made of natural materials like cotton or jute set a relaxing tone. Bright blue, yellow, or red fabrics, on the other hand, will pop against the white tablecloth to give a feeling of fun and energy. Classic white linen napkins would be suitable for formal gatherings, and nautical stripes would effortlessly enhance a coastal theme.
Mix and Match Dinnerware for a Personal Touch
When it comes to summer table settings, don’t be afraid to experiment with your dinnerware. A collection of mismatched plates can add charm and personality, especially when paired with coordinating glasses and flatware. Also consider incorporating different textures and materials, like ceramic plates, bamboo chargers, and glass bowls. If you’re more of a traditionalist, solid-
colored or classic white dinnerware always looks sleek and sophisticated and can be brightened up with smaller pieces in playful patterns or abstract motifs.
Add Natural Elements With Fresh Flowers and Greenery
Take advantage of nature’s bounty by decorating your gathering space with an assortment of foliage. You could combine a variety of blooms in small vases for a coordinated look or go wild with a whimsical arrangement of daisies, sunflowers, and peonies. Alternatively, potted succulents or herbs like rosemary and lavender are both stylish and fragrant. If you’re aiming for a rustic or boho vibe, arrange eucalyptus branches or a long garland of ivy down the center of the table.
Illuminate the Evening With Mood Lighting
As the sun sets, lighting becomes crucial for maintaining a warm and inviting ambiance. Pillar candles in simple holders, tea lights in mason jars, or floating candles in glass bowls inject a bit of romance with their soft, flattering glow. You could also string lights or hang lanterns above the dining area for added charm. LED fairy lights wrapped around centerpieces or table legs is another way to create a magical backdrop for an unforgettable party.
Keep It Comfortable
While style is important, you don’t want to forget about comfort. Ensure that your seating arrangements are roomy enough for your guests to enjoy the meal. Place cushions or throws on chairs and provide blankets in case the evening turns cooler.
Setting the perfect summer table is all about creating a welcoming atmosphere where friends and family can relax, enjoy great food, and make lasting memories. With the right color palette, dinnerware, and thoughtful attention to detail, you’ll be able to host an event that not only looks beautiful, but also makes everyone feel at home.
