Information On Taking A Holiday To Mallorca

by Kevin Peters

The largest of the Balearic Islands is the island of Mallorca. It rests on the eastern cost of Spain and is a popular tourist destination. It has a mix of mountains, beaches and lakes and its temperate region makes year-round travel possible.

A primary vacation destination for many Europeans, Mallorca provides many points of interest. The Coves del Drac or Caves of Dragon has interesting sites and a guided tour that ends in a violin concert on Lake Martel. The Caves of Dragon, located in Manacor, are open year round and are a top Mallorcan destination point.

The Serra de Tramuntana Mountains runs southwest by northeast and forms a back bone ridge to Mallorca. Its highest peak elevates at 4,741 feet and is the highest point of the Balearic Island range. Other attractions include beaches and lakes as well as a variety of nightlife and entertainment. These attractions are located throughout the island in each of the population centers. There is also a casino, the Casino del Mallorca, located in Palma.

Palma is the largest city in Mallorca with a population of 375,000 residents. It is also the capital of the Balearic Islands and half of the nearly 800,000 Mallorcans live there. Catalan and Spanish are the native spoken languages of the citizens who also speak German and English. The majority of tourists hail from the British Isles of Ireland and England and also Germany.

The island of Mallorca is ancient and was governed by the Byzantines, Romans and Nationalists during the Spanish Civil War. Tourism is the main industry in Mallorca and economic mainstay. It grew from half a million visitors in the 1950s to over 22 million in 2008. Temperatures are in the high 80 degrees from June-September (or mid 20 degrees Celsius). Winter lows are around 50 degrees Fahrenheit or 10 degrees Celsius and it stays relatively mild.
