tourism balearic islands ...Located in the western Mediterranean Sea - off the coast of Valencia - the capital city is beautiful Palma, on that wonderful island Majorca. The balearic islands consist of three major islands - Majorca (or Mallorca), Menorca, Ibiza - plus three smaller ones - Formentera, Cabrera and the uninhabited Dragonera. With such variety, the Balearics truly offer all things to all people! Majorca - the largest - attracts and satisfies everyone! The rich and famous ... the package holidays crowds ... nature lovers seeking rural tourism ... Its capital city of Palma is a sophisticated jewel, possessing a wonderful cathedral, and with heaps to do - day or night. Majorca also has so many blissful beaches - Magaluf, extremely popular with tourists ... Palma Nova ... Illetes ... Santa Ponsa ... to mention just a few. Yet, away from the coastline, the landscape is picturesque and unspoilt. Majorca also offers the splendid Cuevas de Drach - Dragon Caves - with awe-inspiring stalagmites, stalactites and underground lake. The party-going, sizzling night-life type of tourism balearic islands belongs to Ibiza. Ibiza Town and San Antonio certainly beckon to the young - and not-so-young! The island is awash with beautiful beaches and hidden coves and, away from the two major towns, the countryside is unspoilt. Menorca is the second-largest and most serene major island, with wetlands and archaeological sites in the interior. In 1993, UNESCO declared the island a Biosphere Reserve, resulting in tighter controls over development. The unspoilt island of Formentera - reached by ferry - is another mecca for nature lovers. tourism balearic islands - popular placestourism balearic islands - popular sightsremaining regionsCheck out the other, wonderfully varied, regions of Spain at the links below.
