Visiting the Island of Mallorca
The island of Mallorca which is also known as Majorca lies near the east coast of Spain. It is the largest on the Balearic Islands, which include some of the most popular holiday destinations in the world. They are very popular detinations for European holidaymakers looking for five star Majorca hotels.
Mallorca’s fame spread during the 1960s, when a building boom spawned the building of hundreds of five star hotels in Mallorca, apartment blocks as well as shopping centers. These buildings now surround the island and appear on most of the island’s coast.
The capital of Majorca is Palma, which as well as major tourist facilities retains some of its historical flavour with grand mansions and a grand Gothic cathedral in its bustling centre. The northwest coast is more rustic and has secluded coves below the peaks of the Serra de Tramuntana mountain range. In this area are many quaint old villages and towns.
Most people visit Mallorca for the sun, the beaches and the quality five star Mallorca hotels. However it is worth taking a break from the typical tourist pursuits to head off for a tour of the island by car, motorcycle ir bike to explore the more remote fishing villages, monuments, museums and desolate landscapes that are away from the crowds that throng to the island.
