Mallorca Vacations
Mallorca, Spain boasts over 10 million visitors annually, who swamp the island in search of sun, sand, and sea. However there is more to do than just lay on the beach. Mallorca is a naturally beautiful island, with coves, harbors, mountains and forests.
Mallorca all inclusive vacations usually start in Palma de Mallorca. The main center of the island is on the south side, and holds bars, restaurants, hotels, and the central business district. The Museum of Mallorca gives a great outline of the island's early history, and the Contemporary Spanish Art Museum displays works by great Spanish artists such as Pablo Picasso. Historical landmarks such as La Seu and Bellver Castle also are open for exploration.
In the comarca (district) of Sierra de Tramontana, the peaks of the synonymous mountain range contrast pleasantly with the secluded beaches. Those seeking a bit more quiet and isolation on their vacations in Mallorca tend to visit this area. The beach of Puerto de Palma is one of the popular beaches in the area to relax and soak in the local lifestyles. For those who want more activity on their vacations, "Pilgrims Way", a paved trail in the town of Soller, takes visitors on a hike up through a ravine and rewards them with an amazing view of Mirador de ses Barques.
