Majorca The Pearl Of Spain

Located in the Mediterranean Sea, Majorca is a part of the Balearic Islands and is the largest island of Spain. The name is derived from Latin word insula major meaning the “larger island”. The capital of the island is Palma, which is also the capital of the autonomous community of the Balearic Islands. Majorca has remained one of the most popular tourist destinations, since May 1952, when the package tourism to the island was started in the United Kingdom. From the 1960’s Majorca became a synonym for mass tourism. Except for the sun, sea and sand, there are many other attractions waiting to be discovered. The Gothic architecture, hilltop villages, olive grooves and hidden coves create an unforgettable holiday, along with the crazy summer parties. Cales de Mallorca is a land of wonderful beaches. Around 70 km away from the Palma international airport, this is an excellent choice for a family holiday and the best place to explore the east Majorca. A place for the beach lovers, Cales de Mallorca has three small sandy bays called Cala Antena, Cala Domingos Grans and Cala Domingos Petis along with water sports and pedalos.
