Mallorca is one of the picturesque Balearic Islands that belong to Spain. It has a mild climate and cleanliness. Here you can relax on the magnificent sandy beaches, walk along the embankments of spacious and small bays, as well as see with your own eyes the architectural monuments of the Middle Ages.
Instructions
Step 1
The most lively part of the island is the south, as it is here that its capital, Palma de Mallorca, is located. Almost half of the island's population is concentrated in this city alone. Not surprisingly, there is a wide variety of activities to be found in Palma da Mallorca and its surroundings. Palma is famous for its sights: on the territory of this city there is the famous Cathedral of the 13th century, as well as the only round castle in Spain, Belver, from which you can admire the panorama of the island.
Step 2
The surroundings of Palma de Mallorca deserve special attention. Russian tourists for the most part prefer to relax in the town of Megaluf, where you can easily combine youth and family vacations. If you're looking for a quieter experience, head to Santa Ponsa or Palma Nova. Want to see the summer residence of the Spanish royal couple? Then choose Cala Major, which houses the castle of Marivet, as well as a host of entertainment similar in scope to the capital. However, the most presentable territory of the island is the town of Illetas, where people with high incomes prefer to stay.
Step 3
Despite the fact that most of the entertainment and main beaches are in the south, the climate in the northern part of the island is somewhat milder. Besides, you can have a great time here too. For example, visit the ancient city of Pollentia in the northeast or the medieval monastery located in the mountain village of Valldemosa, in the western part of Mallorca. In addition, there are about two hundred underground caves on the island's territory, but only a few of them are equipped for tourist excursions, for example, the Drach cave.
Step 4
On the island of Mallorca, sports lovers will also find relaxation. Here you will have the opportunity to take a parachute jump or hang glider, go horseback riding or attend horse races. Cycling tourism is actively developed in any part of the island, there are also specially equipped golf courses. And, of course, recreation in Mallorca involves sailing, diving, windsurfing, as well as visiting water parks.
