Majorca
Mallorca in the Balearics
In 1950 the first charter flight landed on a small airstrip on Mallorca
The largest of the Balearic islands. The number of annual visitors today hovers around 10 million.
Located in the heart of the Mediterranean Sea the island of Mallorca, Spain is just a few hour flight from many of the major European cities such as London, Frankfurt, Paris. With 320 miles of coastline and 300 days of sunshine a year it’s no wonder it receives the tourist in such large numbers
However, there’s much more to Mallorca than the beach. Palma de Mallorca (or simply Palma
) is the main centre and a charming stop.
The northwest coast, dominated by the Serra de Tramuntana mountain range, is a beautiful region of olive groves, pine forests and ochre villages, with a spectacularly rugged coastline.
Most of Mallorca’s best beaches are on the north and east coasts and, although many have been swallowed up by tourist developments, you can still find the occasional exception. There is also a scattering of fine beaches along parts of the south coast.
