Majorca (Spain)

As in the past, Majorca is still one of the most popular holiday destinations. Given that it is the largest island in the Balearics, there is enough space for everyone's holiday desires to be fulfilled.
There is hype and turmoil in the holiday resorts along the coast, but peace and solitude can also be found in the small villages and centuries-old monasteries that lie inland. Wild mountain ranges such as the Serra de Tramuntana and jagged coastline around Cap Formentor will impress nature lovers. Cultural enthusiasts just love to admire the monumental beauty and the Gothic cathedral of La Seu as well as the collection by modern artists such as Picasso and Dalí in the Museu d'Art Espanyol Contemporaniin in the island's capital, Palma. Paradisiacal beaches and clear, turquoise-coloured, shimmering waters in the southwest and the northeast delight those seeking sun and sea, as the island enjoys about 3,000 hours of sun a year. Revellers will consider their time in the entertainment districts of S'Arenal and Platja de Palma time well spent. In the tranquillity of the idyllically situated hermitage of Nostra Senyora de Bonany, visitors are given the opportunity to really let their souls recuperate amidst the almond trees and cornflowers.
All visitors will be in awe of the soft light, which only serves to further illuminate the red earth of the island, as well as the chirps of the cicadas, which sing the holidaymakers to sleep. A Mediterranean way of life amidst the olive trees and the flair of a big town - that is the diversity of Majorca.
