Majorca - The versatile isle of the Balearics |
Majorca certainly lives up to its tag as the ‘versatile isle of the
Balearics’, mainly in part to its vast array of offerings. Magaluf and
Palma Nova are neighboring resorts hugely popular with younger people
looking for a more ‘lively’ holiday. Magaluf in particular is teeming
with bars, discos and nightclubs which ensures a wild time if that’s
your desire. Palma Nova is a short distance away from Magaluf and more
popular with families and couples but who also have the option of a more
vibrant atmosphere if they so desire.
Palma de Majorca
The star of the show however is the capital City, Palma. A
typical cultural City with its stylish old town, wonderful restaurants
and vibrant night-life – Palma certainly ticks all the boxes if it’s a
bit of everything you want.
The beautiful city of Palma de Majorca with view of the cathedral
This old town, a Roman city centuries ago, boasts a world famous
Gothic cathedral whose first foundations were laid way back in the 13th
century and took over 400 years to complete, such is its magnificent
splendor. Palma is also home to a superb atmospheric area strewn with
museums and ancient palaces, ideal for the more artistic of people.
However, if that’s not your cup of tea, then the modern part of Palma
has a vast array of designer clothing outlets, stylish eateries, bars &
cafés to keep you very much occupied. Then at some stage, be sure to
take a walk down to the City’s Marina, where the luxurious yachts float
proudly upon the sparkling water beneath the ominous gaze of the ancient
cathedral.

Majorca overall is an island with much to enjoy for
everyone. The southern side of the island is generally livelier with
bars and discos galore whilst the north side tends to be a little
quieter with restaurants and bars aplenty. Families in particular are
spoilt for choice with an endless supply of water parks, beach
activities & markets and then for the more cultured person, the endless
list of museums and ancient buildings will cater for their every need
