Spain - Balearics - Mallorca - General Information
ABOVE: An Art Nouveau building on
the Plaza de la Lonja in Palma de Mallorca.
Mallorca is the largest, most
populous, and most visited of the Balearic Islands. Some areas, such as the
S'Arenal district of Palma, cater to British and other Northern European
package tourists who come for sun, fun, and sport. But the capital city of
Palma de Mallorca has many historic sights worth seeing, and a surprising
number of villages and rural areas still have much of the charm that attracted
visitors and expatriates to the island in the days before resort hotels and
charter flights.
