The holiday island of Majorca is
located off the east coast of Spain and is the largest in the Balearic
Island group, which collectively form one of the most popular holiday
destinations in the world, and certainly in the Mediterranean.
Set just off the coast of Spain in the glittering waters of the Mediterranean, Majorca has long been a favourite with British holidaymakers – and it’s easy to see why. Whether you’re looking for natural beauty, culture or entertainment, Majorca’s got it all.
Food & Wine Eating out is one of the great joys of a Majorcan holiday. Local fare includes the Balearics' ubiquitous tapas and all manner of seafood.
Charcoal-grilled meat dishes, particularly those based on chicken, lamb and pork, are also deservedly popular as is arroz brut, the Majorcan equivalent of paella, served with steaming saffron rice and pork or chicken.
Compliment your meal with a glass of the local red wine, not unlike a mild rioja, and round it off with a delicious crème catalan, a rich crème caramel custard!
Majorca holiday resorts
Magalluf and Palma Nova Situated in the liveliest part of Majorca, ten
miles (16km) west of Palma and 15 miles (24km) from the airport, Magalluf and Palma Nova are the largest and most
popular on the island.
Offering wonderful long white beaches, a wealth of
entertainment and an exhausting nightlife.
Much has been done to improve Magalluf over recent years with some of the
60s apartment blocks being demolished and a new palm-lined promenade being
created, however it is still very much a party town popular with 18 to 30s
looking for sun, sand and the odd San Miguel. Quieter areas can be found on
the outskirts of Magalluf, in the suburb of Torrenova and in neighbouring
Palma Nova.
Alcudia The holiday resort of Alcudia is situated in the north of Majorca at
the top of a long curving bay with an endless white sandy beach. It is two
miles (three km) south of the historical old town of Alcudia, .
