All You Need To Know About Majorca

Majorca Nightlife
Majorca offers a variety of diverse nightlife, ranging from the lively bars, discos and never ending happy hours of Magaluf to the relaxed, seafood restaurants of Puerto Pollensa and Cala d’Or. Majorca has scores of English pubs and restaurants, but those searching for local flavour won't be disappointed - there is often a Balearic ballet or a Spanish play showing at the Auditorium in Palma, one of Europe's top concert halls.

Majorca Sightseeing
Although long, lazy days on the beach may be tempting, don't miss out on one of Majorca's most famous attractions and one of the wonders of the European world - the magnificent Caves of Drac - with their immense caverns and subterranean lakes. Further afield lies the 18th-century Majorcan mansion, La Granja, and you could even enjoy a spot of island hopping and sail across to neighbouring Minorca.
Cosmopolitan and sophisticated, Palma is the capital of the Balearics. Dominated by a magnificent Gothic cathedral overlooking a bustling harbour, the city has excellent shopping and an abundance of chic bars, restaurants and nightlife.

Post Card From Majorca

Majorca offers excellent value for money and has something for everyone – stunning scenery, glamorous marinas, great nightlife and fascinating historical sights.”

It’s easy to see why the Spanish king moved his summer palace to Majorca – this island, the largest of the Balearic chain, is a dazzling jewel in the heart of the Mediterranean. But Majorca isn’t reserved for royalty or the Hollywood stars that frequent its shores - far from it. From non-stop partying in Magaluf to adrenaline-inducing watersports in Cala Millor, from gentle walks through tiny mountainside villages to long tapas lunches in cosmopolitan Palma, there’s something for everyone here.

Majorca - All You Need To Know

 

Majorca offers excellent value for money and has something for everyone – stunning scenery, glamorous marinas, great nightlife and fascinating historical sights.”

It’s easy to see why the Spanish king moved his summer palace to Majorca – this island, the largest of the Balearic chain, is a dazzling jewel in the heart of the Mediterranean. But Majorca isn’t reserved for royalty or the Hollywood stars that frequent its shores - far from it. From non-stop partying in Magaluf to adrenaline-inducing watersports in Cala Millor, from gentle walks through tiny mountainside villages to long tapas lunches in cosmopolitan Palma, there’s something for everyone here.

Majorca boasts a long and colourful history - its strategic mid-Mediterranean location gave it a part to play in the successive empires of the Phoenicians, Romans, Byzantines and Moors. Seafront sections of Palma's massive town walls survive to this day, some 800 years after the Moors constructed them.

Majorca’s beaches consist of long stretches of sandy coastline in the north and tiny unspoilt pine-clad coves in the east. Cala d’Or has numerous beautiful, powdery coves and deep inlets which can get crowded, simply because of their beauty. Puerto de Soller has a narrow town beach of sand and shingle, and a delightful sandy beach at one end. If you can’t bear to lie still for long, you’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to watersports. Should they seem a bit too energetic, a trip on a glass bottomed boat is a pleasant and relaxing way to glimpse the colourful underwater life of Majorca.

Majorca is renowned for its beautifully crafted artificial pearls. Found in shops all over the island, they make a great value treat or gift. Good buys also include embroidery, olive wood carvings, kitchenware and leather goods - look out for the factories found on the outskirts of most towns. Palma has everything from a wonderful flea market every Saturday to designer boutiques and high street chains, including a large, exclusive department store.

Local Specialities
Eating out is one of the great joys of a Majorcan holiday. Local fare includes the Balearics' ubiquitous tapas and all manner of seafood. Charcoal grilled meat dishes, particularly those based on chicken, lamb and pork, are also deservedly popular as is 'arroz brut', the Majorcan equivalent of 'paella', served with steaming saffron rice and pork or chicken. Compliment your meal with a glass of the local red wine, not unlike a mild Rioja and round it off with a delicious 'crème catalan', a rich creme caramel custard.

Highlights
Highlights offer endless opportunities to discover, wonder, relax and enjoy - here is a selection...
Early RiserSpend a tranquil morning gently sailing above the central plains of Mallorca. Only a hot air balloon can provide such spectacular, far reaching views. On a clear day you can even see Minorca. Your European champion pilots will point out special places of interest – maybe even Minorca in the distance. Available at a fraction of the cost back home.
