Majorca
The largest island of Spain and one of the most famous holiday destinations, Mallorca is located in the Mediterranean Sea.
Due to its ever-increasing popularity among tourists, Mallorca is usually associated with mass tourism which, starting with the 5o’s, can be said to have completely changed the looks of both the city and the island.
Throughout the years, the multicultural 
populations inhabiting the island have left their imprint on the natives, altering not only the old traditional cuisine but also the sociolinguistic map of the island, so that, there is an ever increasing variety of restaurants today.
Hence, it wouldn’t be wrong to assume Mallorca to be the island that takes you to the seventh heaven of tastes and flavours where more than 2,400 restaurants ranging from small bars to a broad variety of bistros and cafés open their doors and invite you in to enjoy your first sobrassada.
Mallorca is the island of sheer contrasts. That is why, if you like travelling to crowded places where you can make new friends for life, then, you are most likely to head for the south of the island. If, on the other hand, you are the typical daredevil tourist longing to conquer new peaks and discover virgin idyllic landscapes, take time to explore the northern part of the island and be left breathless at the sight of the almost erotic encounter between the rocky mountains (Serra de Tramuntana or Tramuntana range) and the sea, out of which fairytale-like beaches embraced by sweeping bays (Badia de Pollença and the larger Badia d‘Alcudia) ‘are born‘.
Palma de Mallorca, the capital city of the Balearic Islands, is a place fit for all pockets and there are plenty of accommodation options such as: first-class hotels in the centre and suburbs, where you‘ll be spoiled with a long list of facilities; or low-budget hotels or hostels where you can rest and enjoy the smell of newly cleaned and linen after an exhausting day spent on the streets swarming with tourists went shopping or just enjoying the street entertainers and musicians performing throughout the plaza. Apart from these, there is also a number of private villas and apartments to rent, ranging from luxury to basic in keeping with the budget that holiday-makers dispose of.
You can escape the scorching sun of the south Mallorca and the stifling heat of the afternoons by diving into the blue-green waters of Palma Bay; you can always indulge yourself with a fantasy and enjoy the high sandards of the upmarket luxury by taking a charter boat (motorboat, sailing yacht or powerboat) to one of the uninhabited green islands neighbouring Mallorca, Cabrera and Dragonera.
In keeping with the amount of adrenaline you have, there is a wide variety of outdoor activities such as horse riding, scuba diving or cycling along mountainous rocky routes. At night you can always go for dinner, or take a walk around the Puerto Deportivo or the maritime promenade, or enjoy nightlife in the fashionable nightclubs and discos, with the tourists you have just befriended.
Should you still have energy, do find time to enjoy culture in Palma de Mallorca and visit its fantastic 13th century Gothic Cathedral which dominates the bay.
The Pirates’ Adventure Theatre is just the place for the last night of your stay on the island: you’ll find yourself escorted to the table by swaggering heroes, and so, while you are feasting, drunk pirates perform amazing stunts that take your breath away.
‘How do I get here?’ Well, nothing is simpler than that. No matter your holiday budget there are flights from all the major airports of the world on all major airlines providing you with a great deal of Mallorca flights - charter flights, first class or good old economy class flights to bring you here! The rest is up to you!
