The Balearic Island of Majorca is a firm favourite with the British holidaymaker, boasting an excellent climate, a fascinating history and culture, and, of course, beautiful sandy beaches, lapped by crystal blue waters. The rugged inland mountain terrain, and the traditional villages perched upon them, provide the perfect contrast to the popular resorts, dotted around the coastline. Each of Majorca’s coasts offer something different, with the ‘Rocky Coast’ to the north to the stunning beaches of the south. This is a truly magnificent isle, waiting to be explored.
