Palace in Sicily – Travel Guide

As the largest of Spain’s Balearic Islands, Majorca is a place of rugged, breathtakingly beautiful coastlines, secluded coves and bustling tourist resorts. Visits here run the gamut from budget-friendly stays along the southern coast to all inclusive holidays to Majorca, complete with every conceivable comfort and convenience.

When the UK’s climate becomes too much to bear, Majorca beckons with an average of 300 sunny days each year and annual temperatures averaging 21.6 degrees C. An abundance of hotel accommodations and tourist attractions accompany all that sunshine less than a three-hour flight from the UK.

Yet much of Majorca, especially the spectacular Serra de Traumuntana Mountains paralleling the northwest coast with its pine-scented air and quaint villages, remains unspoiled. Even the capital and beachgoer favourite Palma de Majorca has its quiet side in the vast reaches of the magnificent Gothic Cathedral of Santa Maria that required nearly four centuries to complete.

Some all-inclusive Majorcan holidays include excursions to the island’s interior, where Roman ruins, abandoned windmills and sweetly fragrant orchards await. Many of the area’s almonds and olives join walnuts and tomatoes in traditional Majorcan vegetable stew. The island’s other culinary classics include starter-sized tapas.
