Mallorca is the largest of the Balearic Islands, located in the Mediterranean
off the east coast of the Spanish mainland. More than six million visitors year
flock to Mallorca - from members of the international jet set and royal houses
of Europe to hordes of budget-conscious British and German package
holidaymakers. The island is about 100 kilometres from east to west and about 75
kilometres from north to south.is the largest of Balearic Islands, and along with its sister
islands of Menorca and Ibiza, lies in the Mediterranean Sea off the south east
coast of mainland Spain.
Mallorca is the largest, most populous, and most visited of the
Balearic Islands.The capital city of Palma de Mallorca has many historic sights worth
seeing, and a surprising number of villages and rural areas still have much of
the charm that attracted visitors and expatriates to the island in the days
before resort hotels and charter flights.
Palma has a population of approximately 300,000, which is
practically half of the entire population of the island. It stretches some 15 km
along the coastline, from El Arenal and Palma beach in the east as far as the
cosmopolitan districts of Cala Mayor and San Agustivities of all kinds are more
than well-catered- for here. There are restaurants, cafeterias, pubs, concert
halls, discotheques, a bull-ring and all types of shows, offering the visitor
entertainment and amusement at all times.
Mallorca's wonderful climate, beautiful landscapes as well as its
cosmopolitan ambience make it a privileged holiday resort, with a cultural offer
comparable to the one of many European capitals. The Auditiorio de Palma, for
instance, ranks among Europe's top concert halls. At Mallorca, you will find
relaxation, inspiration, culture and entertainment...
It's an island of great contrasts with dramatic rugged mountains in the north
west, a rural heartland virtually untouched by tourism, hidden coves favoured by
owners of multi-million pound yachts and the international playgrounds of La
Palma and Megaluf.
It's beauty has seduced the likes of Frederic Chopin, Robert Graves, King
Juan Carlos of Spain, Michael Douglas and Claudia Schiffer. Royals and
celebrities holiday here and often make the island their home.
The people of the Mediterranean know how to take life slowly - They still
have time to sit in the shade and chat, to take siestas rather than rushing back
to work, to enjoy the outdoors whether it is the mountain or the sea.
Mallorca or Majorca? Are they the same place or not? Yes and no. Majorca, with a
hard 'j', is a place invented by foreigners, where the sun always shines and the
beer flows. Mallorca, the local name for the island, is quite different and far
more complex. We encourage you to experience both in the spectacular island of
Mallorca.
