Answer 1

How would I say 'I would like to go to Mallorca again'?

How would 'again' be used in this context?

I' hate to disagree with others, but If you said "Me gustaría volver a Mallorca." I would think that you were from there and would like to go back.

If you were there on a visit, you could say, "Me gustaría visitar Mallorca de nuevo ( or otra vez)

I agree, I would also think they were from Mallorca. - annierats, Jan 19, 2015

Welcome to SD, Sootygirl. First, could you please complete your profile and enter your levels of English and Spanish and also some information about yourself. You can do this by clicking on Edit Profile.

I think you could put this sentence on the translator and get a pretty good answer. Try it and post it and we can correct it for you.

The translator couldn't even come close to my answer. - Daniela2041, Jan 19, 2015

Have you seen the great film 'Volver'? Even as a beginner it is worth watching for the contrast between life in the small towns in Spain and life in Madrid. It starts with the women cleaning the graves as it is at the start of November. Penelope Cruz goes back to the town where she grew up [there are other reasons for people returning] Watch it with subtitles. Anyway, in your example I would use volver rather than otra vez or de nuevo. As to whether native speakers would prefer that construction rather than the others I do not know. It would be volver a Mallorca. Do you want to say I would like to go or perhaps I want to go or I would love to go. Play around with the translator then repost with more information eg whether you want to tell a friend or add it in a formal letter. Context is important.

I see my answer may give the wrong impression - rely on Daniela - Mardle, Jan 22, 2015

What about "Me gustaría volver a visitar Mallorca."

I don't find anything wrong with it. :) - Daniela2041, Jan 20, 2015
