Mallorca: vacation on an island of impressive beauty. Some attractions that you should not miss!

Beyond well-known beaches, amazing villas and terraces studded with tourists, Mallorca has a multitude of facets and natural attractions: wild beaches, high cliffs, rich vegetation and blue foaming waves of the Mediterranean Sea.

Most of you, when you think of a holiday in Mallorca (Spain), you probably imagine rich nature, crowded beaches, and various entertainments. And you are not even wrong! But what can exceed your expectations is the immense possibility of exploration that a vacation in Mallorca – the beautiful Balearic island of Spain – has to offer to you.

A hike to the Tramuntana (Unesco World Heritage), where the deep valleys are battered by the waves of the sea, or a walk to the north-east of the island, to Capdepera, among olive trees and carob trees are just a few pieces of a beautiful Mallorcan story.

 

What do we recommend without hesitation on a vacation in Mallorca?

We  made a short list of what we liked the most out of all the attractions that Mallorca offers:
  • The impressive natural settings, about which I have already expressed my enthusiasm;
  • Palma de Mallorca, is an elegant, well-organized capital full of attractions for all tastes and temperaments. It felt like Barcelona’s “little sister” in many ways. In addition, we were surprised by the size of the city – quite big! And, best of all, despite the fact that is home to 400,000 people, Palma has retained the air of a holiday town;

  • Don’t miss La Seu – the Gothic jewel of the Balearic Islands, a cathedral built over almost 4 centuries, starting in the first decades of the 13th century;
  • Medieval towns: it’s worth taking a trip (on a medieval train, like in the old days) to Port de Soller, one of the most beautiful towns in Mallorca. As the name suggests, it has such a nice harbor with all kinds of boats. Don’t miss Alcudia either, which, although it is crowded, full of shops, it has also some quiet areas, with narrow streets, full of multicolored flowers. Alcudia also boasts wide beaches with fine white sand, excellent for families with children;

  • Food and drink: when you say “Spain” and “wine” in the same sentence, it gives you “Sangria”, right? True! Sangria is a serious business in Spain. The real, traditional one, with lots of fruit, doesn’t look at all like the fake ones from other parts of the world. You can also enjoy a glass of Cava (sparkling with orange juice), preferably around 11 o’clock. It goes perfectly with a light snack before walking around the city. And you must try the vanilla and fruit pies. And in the small town of Soller, you can enjoy the best ice cream in Mallorca, with so many flavors! About Spanish tapas, we can only confirm that they are an excellent idea. Also in the food chapter, we add to the list the famous paella;

  • Salsa and Latin music that makes your body ripple. In the clubs of Mallorca, Latin music and rhythm vibrate everywhere and tourists are delighted to show off their moves, or..to learn them.

We hope that we have convinced you that Mallorca is worth at least a visit. We say so because most of those who choose to spend their vacation in Mallorca choose to return here, thanks to the beauty of the island and the attractions it has to offer.
