Majorca (Spain)

Of course water sports take top priority on an island featuring 40 marinas and over 100 beaches. Numerous surfing and sailing schools are dotted around Majorca and visitors are able to partake in water skiing, parasailing or diving lessons.
Sun seekers and swimmers will find all beach games imaginable along the diversified coastline: wide, fine-sand paradisiacal beaches with rocky plateaus, fjord-like incisions or small secluded sandy beaches, which are protected from tall cliffs.
During recent years Majorca has been experiencing ever more popularity with cycling enthusiasts. Not only do professional teams train here in winter, but amateur cyclists also enjoy taking on the challenging mountain roads and the romantic coastal routes. Those who do not wish to set off alone have the option of participating in organised tours.
Majorca is, however, best explored on foot with the help of a map and a walking guide. Walking allows visitors to discover wonderful routes through the Tramuntana Mountains and the delightful inlands of the island.
In addition to all this, many fitness activities are to be enjoyed on the island: regardless of whether one's passion may be for tennis, beach volleyball, golf, horse riding or flying, practically every variety of sport is on offer here.
