Majorca in General

Mallorca or Majorca? Well it doesn't really matter when you get there, but for the record , Majorca is a name visitors have given this absolutely beautiful Mediterranean island, the largest of the Balearic islands, 200 km south of Barcelona, off the east coast of Spain. Locals call it Mallorca, they live the Mallorcan lifestyle. So now you know where it is, you really do need to know why you should go there. We were eagerly awaiting our first-ever cruise and the offer of a week-stay on Majorca, before that experience, was too good to pass up. Tony Kelly's The AA Pocket Guide MALLORCA, was my ... more

Mallorca: The road to the mountains. Late last year (September 2005), my intrepid wife and I planned and executed a 3-Centre holiday in Mallorca: a favourite holiday destination of ours, despite my obvious intelligence, style and savoir-faire, and Mallorca's reputation as a Chavvite Centre of Self-Indulgence. Mallorca has something of an image problem even now, I believe, because of places like Magaluf and Palma Nova, Port d'Alcudia, etc., but happily our experience is that the people who tend to go for places like this lack the imagination, intelligence, or the energy even to leave these ... more

Hello! I'd like to talk a few about the place where I live, Mallorca. Mallorca is the biggest of the Balearic Islands; most of people come here finding sun and fun, maybe some of them relax (It's said that Menorca is better for that). *** HOW TO GO? *** Well, obviously plane is the most comfortable way to come to Mallorca. I'm not sure 'bout the offers there at the UK, but I'm pretty sure that you can find cheap flights at Easy Jet, or companies like that. The other way is the road. It's a looooooong way, and I think it's not worth to do it. Anyway, for brave people i'll say that you have to ... more

I had always been put off from going to Mallorca, lumping it together with Benidorm and Aya Napa as places never to visit, but now I feel that it had been wasted years. Spain to me had always meant the greener north or Seville, Toledo, Madrid and the historic cities of the south, staying as far away from the tourist traps of the Mediterranean coast as possible but earlier this year the possibility presented itself for a two week break at a very reasonable price to Mallorca. Rather reluctantly, we booked. With great trepidation, I might add! True to form, I began to plan this holiday like a ... more

Parties, Sangria and drunk people – no, this is definitely not all the beautiful island of Mallorca is about. I’m no specialist when it comes to the Baleares, but I have been there 3 x so far and I got to know a lot of different parts of the island that I would really like to share with all of you. I have also read a lot of books and learned about the mallorquin people, the nature and a lot more, so I hope this opinion is of some help for those of you who are either interested in the Balearic Islands or those who even think about spending their holidays there. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ... more
