11. Capdepera Castle (Castle of Capdepera

Capdepera Castle - castle in the municipality of Capdepera, Mallorca, Spain. It stands on a mountain in the northeast of the island, 2.5 km from the shore of the strait that separates Mallorca and Menorca. Built in the XIV century.

In ancient times, the territory belonged to local residents who settled on the slopes of the mountains in this area. In the 10th century, the Moors built fortifications here, of which only the lower part of the tower has survived. In 1229, King Jaime I of Aragon captured the fortifications. In 1231, the Capdeper Agreement was signed in the tower, according to which Menorca fell into the possession of Jaime I. In 1300, Jaime II built a fortress here, inside which he founded a settlement. At first, 50 buildings for various purposes and 200 residents were planned. Therefore, Kapdepera is more of a fortified village than a castle.

In 1342 the walls and gates were built. In 1386 the construction of the towers was completed. In the XVI-XVII centuries, pirates regularly attacked the island. During this period, the settlement flourished. At the end of the 17th century, the settlement expanded beyond the fortress, and in the 18th century, after the defense of the island was reorganized, the population moved to more adapted places. Only the garrison was left in the fortress.

Mallorca beaches

Mallorca has a huge selection of great beaches, from quaint coves with just a few holidaymakers to large beaches in popular resorts. North of Mallorca there is a mountain range that is over 100 km long, so the water is a little cooler than in the south, the beaches are mostly long sandy, but there are also small bays that are great for snorkeling. South of Mallorca, where the climate is hotter and drier, there are beautiful but more commercial beaches offering a range of different activities. On the east coast long beaches are separated by numerous cozy bays, which are very different from each other: there are both long sandy ones and small cozy ones, where there are not a large number of vacationers. West of Mallorca is a mountainous area with tiny beaches hidden in bays, some of which can only be accessed by boat. The most popular is considered southwest coast with nearby Palma de Mallorca and modern highly developed infrastructure

Playa de Palma (Platja de Palma) - one of the largest beaches in Mallorca with a length of 4.6 km, located 10 kilometers east of Palma de Mallorca, between the resorts of Can Pastilla (C'an Pastilla) and El Arenal (S'Arenal). The main beach, up to 50 meters wide, has been awarded the Blue Flag, has golden white sand, clear sea and shallow water suitable for families with children. The beach has a wide variety of water sports. There is a rental of sun loungers and umbrellas, toilets and showers, access for the disabled and lifeguards on duty. Behind the beach there is a pedestrian promenade with various bars, cafes, restaurants and a bike path. You can park your car for free on the streets behind the beach. It can be reached by various buses that run regularly from Palma and the airport.

Cala Estancia(Cala Estancia) resort Can Pastilla (C'an Pastilla) officially part of Playa de Palma, but in fact it is a separate beach, located just a few steps from the main beach. The beach is quite small, has a length of 200 and a width of 35 meters with soft white sand. The artificial breakwaters built around this beach create a small cove that provides a calm sea. On the beach you can rent umbrellas and sun loungers, there is a lifeguard booth. The beach is also equipped with devices for easy access for the disabled. It is worth noting that the beach is located at the end of the airport runway, so if you are sensitive to noise, then you should choose another beach to relax!

Alcudia (Platja de Alcudia) marked with the Blue Flag, stretching from Port de Alcudia along the "golden mile" of the best hotels on the coastline. The beach is especially popular with families with children who can play in the safe shallow water. With a beach length of 3.4 km, its width reaches 80 meters, which is not typical for Mallorca. The back of the beach is equipped with wooden paths for easy access by wheelchairs and the disabled. This beach does not have the best sand on the island, but there are various restaurants to choose from, you can leave your car in the free parking or on the road behind the beach. To soft sand and quiet corners, you need to go to the top of the bay towards Playa de Muro (Playa de Muro). There is a municipal bus to the beach. Water sports are very popular here. Many boats offer half day cruises or full day dives. Lifeguards are on duty at the beach during the high season. Pets are not allowed. There are numerous toilets and showers.

Muro beach (Playa de Muro) - a quiet 6-kilometer beach about 25 meters wide. The sand here is fine and soft with a smooth entry into shallow water, safe for children. Compared to the beach in Alcudia, it is windy here. In the west (closer to Alcudia), the beach is well equipped, there are bars and restaurants, showers, toilets, rental of sun loungers and umbrellas, access for the disabled, lifeguards are on duty. The beach stretches east to the Natural Park of s'Albufera, the places become wilder without buildings, and are called Es To (Es comu) . This is a 1.5 km long virgin-clean area with sand dunes, pine trees and juniper bushes in the depths. Access here is somewhat more difficult, it is best to drive up from Casetes des Capellans, which is located 1 km from Can Picafort ( Can Picafort or from Es Brac (25 km along Ma-12 along Arenes street). There is parking on both sides. From the Picafort side, there are more vacationers on the beach and it is known as Es Capellans (Es Capellans) , popular for sailing and water sports. A wooden pier in the western part of the beach acts as a marina for yachts and boats, there is a rental.

Es Trenc (Es Trenc) - not belonging to any resort, quite isolated, for its 2 km of golden sand and crystal clear waters, received the title of Carib in Mallorca. Thanks to its shallow water, it is well suited for children. The beach is 20 meters wide, so it can get crowded during the high season. There is a rental of sun loungers and umbrellas, toilets, ramps for the disabled, restaurants, lifeguards are on duty. Es Trenc has long, since the puritanical era of Franco, unofficially become a nudist beach. For all its shortcomings, it is very calm and non-commercial compared to many of Mallorca's beaches. Behind the beach are sand dunes and wetlands that are home to migratory birds and marine plants. You can get here by car or by bus. You can drive up from Ses Covettes and through the salt marshes in the south. Parking is cheaper at Ses Covettes. The Es Trenc restaurant offers parking for 10EUR, which is later deducted from the cost of lunch (given the high cost and not too high quality of the products, we do not recommend). The beach is perfect for fans of windsurfing and the beauties of wildlife, but you have to look for a quiet place. Here you can stay at the resort of Colonia St. Jordi (Colonia St Jordi) or in a village house at a very good price in the area of ​​Campos (Campos).

Mallorca is one of the largest islands that make up Spain, located in the Balearic archipelago in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea. I believe that this is truly a heavenly place where you can enjoy picturesque landscapes, clean beaches and forget about all everyday problems.

This small island, whose area is only 3.5 thousand square kilometers, is a little different from the resorts we are used to in Spain, and all because in its entire long history it managed to be at the disposal of the Phoenicians, Romans, and of course, the Arabs. Therefore, the culture here is really very rich!

My acquaintance with this wonderful island began with its capital - Palma de Mallorca. It is here that all its main attractions are concentrated.

As soon as I left the airport, I was struck by a long palm avenue that led arriving tourists to the parking lot. Palm trees there are truly majestic, the size of three-story houses! You look and do not believe your eyes that just 4 hours ago you were in a gray rainy city, and now you are already among such beauty!

And when you drive directly into the capital itself, your eyes begin to run wide. You look to the left - a turquoise sea, look to the right - a majestic cathedral, and right in front of you - high mountains.

Here you want to photograph absolutely everything, so I advise you to free up memory on your phone, tablet and camera in advance, because you will constantly have a desire to capture this or that place!

How to get there

There are two modes of transport to get to Mallorca: air and water.

By far, the most commonly used and comfortable option is air. In the capital of the island, Palma, there is an international airport, from where every half an hour take off and where the liners of various European airlines land just as often.

As for water communication, Palma has the main port of the island, where ships from various parts of Spain arrive daily, which is very convenient for tourists who spend most of their time relaxing on the mainland, for example, in Barcelona or Valencia, and go on an excursion to Palm.

You can get around the island by bus, car or train.

By plane

The main and only airport of the island, which bears the name Son San Joan , located 8 kilometers from the capital of Palma de Mallorca. It is here that both external and domestic flights arrive. The airport has a very good connection with various European countries, including Russia.

Flights from Moscow

There are direct flights to Mallorca from Moscow (Domodedovo Airport): S7 airlines, the average cost of a round-trip ticket is 20 thousand rubles. In addition, you can fly to the island by flights with one or more transfers, which are also operated by the Spanish airline Iberia from Domodedovo Airport for the same price (about 20 thousand rubles). It is worth noting that there are several other European airlines that carry transfers to Palma, for example:

• Finnair;
• Lufthansa;
• Swiss;
• Czech Airlines;

But then the flight time will be more than 20 hours, which is completely inconvenient and not worth the money. Therefore, I advise you to choose a direct flight!

In this case, the travel time will be only 4.5 hours, so I recommend not saving on tickets and not spending the whole day on endless transfers.

You can compare prices yourself, for example,.

How to get from the airport to the city

You can get from the airport to the city center either by bus or by taxi.

Definitely the cheapest option is the bus. Routes No. 1 and No. 17 constantly run here, which will take you to Palma for only 3 €. If you need to go to the resort town of Arenal, then bus number 21 leaves from here directly to its center.

But a taxi will cost much more - the average cost of the trip will be 20 €, and if you are traveling in a group, you can order a minivan for 40 €.

In addition, you can rent a car directly at the airport, there are a wide range of car rental companies (Hertz, Avis, Europcar). The average rental price starts from 50 € per day. Details below.

By ferry

So, the second way to get to Mallorca is to sail from another part of Spain by ferry or by high-speed catamaran. The latter depart daily to the island directly from:

• Barcelona (4.5 hours drive)
• Valencia (4-6 hours drive),
• Menorca (2.5 hours drive),
• Ibiza (3 hours drive)

The average ticket price is 40 € and depends on the features of the vessel.

How to get from the port to the center

The port of Palma de Mallorca is located 6 kilometers from the city center, if you wish and are in good physical condition, you can walk to the center from there along the promenade, enjoying beautiful views and a light breeze, or take bus number 1 for only 1.5 €.

The bus stop is next to the port. Of course, you can catch a taxi and get to the Cathedral (the trip will cost 10 €).

When is the season. When is the best time to go

According to local residents, the island of Mallorca opens up to tourists in all its glory at the end of spring and continues to please the eye until mid-autumn. This is the best time to relax!

As for winter, the Spaniards believe that at this time of the year their life becomes very calm, quiet and even a little boring. Although the weather here is favorable in winter (about +14 ° C), there is absolutely nothing to do. Because you won’t lie down on the beach, you won’t swim, and you won’t enjoy seasonal fruits and vegetables. Therefore, it is not worth going to Mallorca in the low season (that is, from November to March). The only tourists on the island at this time are employees of companies that arrange business meetings, trainings or business trips here.

Mallorca in summer

Like all resorts, Mallorca is especially beautiful in summer. It is at this time of the year that the air and water temperatures reach their maximum and all the most beautiful flowers and shrubs of the island bloom everywhere. By the way, it was in Mallorca that I noticed a very large number of those flowering evergreens, and this cannot but please the eye!

Of course, summer (especially July) is also a vacation time, so there are a lot of tourists here, in fact, like everywhere else. But since Majorca is still an island and holidays on it are not cheap, wealthy Europeans love to come here most of all, and most often those who are over 35, or young families with children. It is believed that holidays in Mallorca are quite calm and the pace of life is measured, so all young people who prefer nightclubs to evening boat trips go to the neighboring island, Ibiza. But at the same time, it cannot be said that Mallorca is a remote place suitable only for pensioners: here you can also have fun and actively relax. But the most important treasure of the island is the incredible beauty of nature! Such landscapes as here, you will not see anywhere else!

By the way, the climate here is very pleasant, in summer the air temperature reaches around +30 °C, and in winter - +15 °C. But unfortunately, there is nothing to do in Mallorca in winter. Locals say that at this time of the year they have a lull. In fact, the island is inhabited by about a million people, so at a time when all the tourists go home, the island becomes empty and almost deserted. Residents quietly go about their daily business, and nothing special happens here. Therefore, I do not advise you to go here in winter, although if you are tired of the bustle and noise of the city, then here you can definitely be alone with yourself and nature. No wonder it is here that the residence of the Spanish royal family is located! Celebrities such as Claudia Schiffer, Michael Douglas and Gwyneth Paltrow also bought villas in Mallorca. Since Mallorca has pleased the pretentious taste of the stars of the first magnitude, then you will definitely like it too!

The beginning of autumn in Mallorca is considered the velvet season, so until the end of September you can enjoy the bright sun and warm sea. But since October, the sun sets at 7 pm, and it becomes noticeably colder, the temperature reaches + 7–8 ° C.

Even in the period from late October to early November, rains and thunderstorms become more frequent on the island. Therefore, at this time it is no longer worth relaxing in Mallorca.

Mallorca in spring

In the spring in Mallorca, the high season gradually begins, already in March - April the air temperature reaches + 20-23 ° C, the warm, pleasant sun shines, and flowers begin to bloom. At this time, you can’t swim yet, but you can already take sunbaths.

In spring, the island is good because there are still few tourists here, and you can spend a quiet relaxing holiday.

Mallorca in winter

Winter in Mallorca is a time of complete silence and serenity. Here the sun often shines, and snow falls only in the mountains, it rarely reaches the lowlands. December is considered the month of rains, but January and February are characterized by pleasant comfortable weather. The average temperature during the day reaches +14–15 °C.

The only caveat is that it is very boring here in winter, and this is the favorite time of the year for pensioners to relax.

What are the prices for holidays

As I mentioned earlier, holidays on the island of Mallorca can be classified as luxury, and therefore here you will find hundreds of villas and apartments for rent, the price of which starts from 1.5 thousand € for 10 nights.

In principle, if you compare this price with hotels, the difference will be insignificant. For the same 10 days in a 3-star hotel in any area of ​​the island, you will give an average of about 1.7 thousand €, and in a 5-star hotel - about 4 €.

If you take into account that in your apartments you will cook on your own, and in hotels you will use the all-inclusive service, then your costs will be approximately the same.

So it's up to you to decide what is more convenient, but personally I lived in a good 3-star hotel, where in addition to the all-inclusive food there is a free gym, bar, pool and, of course, themed parties!

TOP 5 best hotels on the island

I want to present you my TOP 5 best hotels on the island:

• Globales Simar 4 * (from 1.7 thousand € for 10 days for two).
• Barcelo Ponent Playa 3 * (from 1.3 thousand € for 10 days for two).
• Globales Palmanova 4 * (from 2.1 thousand € for 10 days for two).
• Insotel Cala Mandia Resort & Spa 4 * (from 4.2 thousand € for 10 days for two).
• Blue Bay Hotel 3 * (from 1.2 thousand € for 10 days for two).

You can navigate the prices for ready-made tours (with flights, transfers, accommodation and insurance) to hotels of different categories in the Trevelask section.

Expenses

So, if you decide to stay at a hotel, then there will be no problems with food, and if you decide to rent an apartment or a villa, then you have the option to buy in supermarkets, of which there are quite a few on the island. One of the most popular, often caught my eye - Eroski. This is a popular supermarket chain in Spain where you can buy everything from bread to hand cream at average Spanish prices.

If you buy groceries for a week, the average check will be about 60 €. You can also visit restaurants and cafes, which will turn out to be quite expensive, given that the average bill will be 50–60 €.

You can go on excursions both on your own and with a guide. Mallorca is a small island, from Palma you can get to Alcudia in just an hour and a half, that is, it will not be difficult to travel around the entire island up and down in one day.

You can rent a car for 50–70 € per day and go explore the island yourself, or you can travel by bus for only 6 €. A group tour with a guide on your own rented bus will cost about 100 €. A trip around the island by taxi will cost about 80–90 €.

Main attractions. What to watch

Mallorca is famous for its variety of attractions and incredibly beautiful places to visit.

If you like to find out all the smallest details and interesting facts about certain sights, you can hire a guide or book a full tour. And if you like to walk independently in beautiful places and discover something new for yourself, then you can explore everything on your own.

It is worth choosing a day for the tour in advance, it is advisable to select one of the weekdays (except Friday), because on weekends the locals have a siesta and rest, and there are too many people on the streets that will prevent you from seeing everything properly. Bad weather is extremely rare in Mallorca, so you should not be afraid of rain and cold weather, but you can still look at the forecast before the walk, just in case.

The capital of the island, Palma, is not very large, so you can walk around the city and see the main sights.

The map below shows the main tourist spots, museums, galleries, bus stops and more.

I bring to your attention my version of one day in the capital of the island of Palma, I advise you to travel by Citysightseeing tourist bus (ticket price 18.5 €):

• 10:00 - we go to Bellver Castle, which is located a couple of kilometers from the city. Here we will spend about 2 hours.
• 12:00 - we are on our way to the Spanish village.
• 13:30 - stop for lunch at the author's restaurant Sadrassana Restaurant Cocteleria (Placa Drassana, 15).
• 15:00 - we go to the cathedral. Since this place is considered the main attraction of the city, we will spend about 2 hours here.
• 17:00 - we will go out to the main tourist streets of Palma and take a walk, go to the ice cream parlor Rivareno (Plaza Llotja, 1) and enjoy the most delicious cold dessert of the island.
• 20:00 - dine with seafood at La Parada del Mar restaurant (Avenida Joan Miro 244 Marivent) and celebrate the end of a great day with a glass of sangria.

Cathedral

It is he who is one of the most iconic buildings on the island of Mallorca. The construction of the cathedral began in the 13th century, so now it is officially proclaimed a cultural and historical monument of the island. This place is truly extraordinary!

Inside, the cathedral is decorated with colored stained-glass windows by various masters, the main altar with four columns, which is decorated with a canopy made by Gaudí himself. Also here is one of the largest organs in Europe. Agree that this place should not be left unattended!

A couple of kilometers from the city of Palma, on a hilltop, is the medieval castle of Castell de Belver. Its peculiarity lies in the fact that it is the only round-shaped Gothic castle in Europe built in the Middle Ages.

Beaches. Which is better

Mallorca is the perfect place to beach holiday, it is on this island that there are dozens of the best beaches in Spain, but what about Spain, the whole world! In fact, no matter what beach you come here, it will definitely be quiet, cozy and clean. Even not far from Palma in the resort areas where thousands of tourists rest, they are very worthy! But the best places to soak up the sun and enjoy swimming in clear sea water are secluded bays, which are many in Mallorca.

As I wrote above, I was relaxing in the Cala Mayor area, a few kilometers from the capital, and one day, quite by accident, I wandered into a bay where there was a small beach, and the sea was crystal clear there! There were not very many vacationers there, mostly locals and tourists like me, who, most likely, also accidentally found this piece of paradise.

And yet, I will give a list of the best of the best beaches in Mallorca, which are worth a visit if only to understand what heaven on earth is.

Beach Cala S "Almunia

This beach is located in the bay of the town of Santana and is surrounded by rocks, serenity and tranquility reign here. By the way, the beach has all the conditions for diving, and soft azure waves will allow you to fully enjoy the sea. But it is worth considering that the infrastructure is not developed on the beach, so there are no restaurants, no toilets, no showers and changing cabins.

The type of coating is pebbly, the entry into the water is gentle.

Address: Diseminado Poligono 3, 594, 07690 Santanyí.

Cala Mondrago beach

Another truly heavenly place in Mallorca. The beach is located on the territory of the natural park of the same name among pine trees and rocks. Despite the fact that this place is quite popular, here you can enjoy peace and quiet. By the way, this beach is shallow, so it is great for families with children. Here you can rent umbrellas and sunbeds, there is also a cafe where you can buy soft drinks and a snack.

The type of beach is sandy, the entry into the water is gentle.

Address: Cala Mondragó, Balearic Islands.

Es Trenc beach

Es Trenc is 2 kilometers long. Its peculiarity lies in the fact that this is the only beach on the island that has not been affected by urbanization, so it looks very exotic and is ideal for romantic dates and walks. You can also rent umbrellas and sun loungers.

The coast is sandy, the entry into the water is gentle.

Address: Ma-6030, 68, 07639 Mallorca, Illes Balears.

Playa de Formentor beach

Formentor Beach, as you may have guessed, is located near the famous cape of the same name. And, of course, it is also famous for its beauty and wonderful views. The beach stretches for one and a half kilometers, it is surrounded by pine trees, under which it is pleasant to lie down in the summer heat. The sea here is shallow and very clean, and near the beach there are dozens of cafes and restaurants where you can have a delicious lunch. Prices in establishments vary, the average bill for lunch will be about 10–15 €.

Beach type: sandy, gently sloping entry into the water.

Address: Carrer Zona Formentor, 66A, 07460.

Cala de Sa Calobra beach

And to top it off, perhaps the most magical bay on the entire island, where a small pebble beach is located between the rocks of the Sierra de Tramuntana. This place is definitely worth the trip! Seeing the magnificence that Sa Calobra offers, you will forever keep in your heart the memories of that wonderful day when you got here! But it is worth noting that there are no facilities on the beach, so it is advisable to take care in advance and take everything you need with you.

The type of coast is rocky, the entry into the water is gentle.

Address: Carrer Port De Sa Calobra.

Churches and temples. Which are worth a visit

Despite the fact that Mallorca is an island, there are a lot of churches and monasteries here. By the way, services are held in all the active ones, and any tourist can visit these temples and admire their interior decoration.

Church of Saint Francis

The church is located in Palma, it was built in the 13th century, better known as a Gothic monastery, which houses the tomb of the Catalan philosopher Ramon Llull.

Opening hours: 9:30-12:30 and 15:10-18:00.

Its distinguishing feature is that it is from here that most of the island is visible, and more recently a bar and an observation deck have been opened here. This place is worth a visit to enjoy great views and take great photos.

Address: Plaza Peregrins, 1, 07315 Lluc, Mallorca, Islas Baleares.

Museums. Which are worth a visit

There are quite a few museums in Mallorca, perhaps because the incredible nature compensates for all the cultural institutions here. Below I have selected some of the most interesting of them, which are really worthy of the attention of tourists.

Museum of Ceramics

In the northeast, not far from Palma, is the small town of Sa Cabaneta, which is considered the center of ceramics production. In 2002, a museum was opened here, which displays about a thousand traditional examples of Majorcan ceramics, which are worth seeing. The museum houses a school of pottery and various souvenir shops.

There are insanely beautiful landscapes, large gardens and beautiful architecture.

parks

The island of Mallorca can be called one big park, wherever you go, you will be surrounded by small picturesque bays, green spaces, majestic mountains and endless expanses. But still, the island has several noteworthy national parks and reserves.

Parc Natural de Mondrago

It is pleasant to walk in this park during the intense heat, because numerous coniferous trees will cover you from the burning sun. There are several specific routes here, walking along which you can meet forest dwellers.

nearby islands

If you will be relaxing in Mallorca, then I advise you to choose a day or a whole weekend and dedicate it to a trip to Ibiza.

Balearia ferries leave from the main port of Palma to the port of Ibiza several times a day. The duration of the trip is approximately 3-4 hours, the average ticket price ranges from 50 to 70 euros per person. There are also Transmediterranea ferries from Mallorca to Ibiza, but keep in mind that they only run on Sundays in the summer.

Details and schedule can be found on the official website of the company.

In Ibiza, you can walk around the capital of the island of the same name and look at its protective walls, which were erected here in the Middle Ages. It is also worth visiting the Punic Necropolis, and be sure to visit the picturesque bay of Cala d’Hort.

Food. What to try

At first, you might think that there are no traditional dishes in Mallorca, and that the usual Spanish gazpachos, tapas and tortillas are eaten there. But how surprised I was when I found out that this small island has its own national dishes that you will not try on the mainland.

Majorquina soup

It is a broth with vegetables and pork and is served with sliced ​​bread.

The soup is insanely delicious and very satisfying, which is why it is so loved by the locals.

Tumbet

It consists of vegetables, namely: potatoes, eggplant and onions.

And also meat or fish is added to them to taste.

Sobrasada

Be sure to try it - this is a moderately spicy minced pork and bacon sausage, very reminiscent of chorizo, popular in Spain, since their cooking technology is very similar.

Ensaimada

And for dessert, don't forget to enjoy this delicious Mallorcan puff pastry. It is rightfully considered the most favorite sweet of the locals.

Ensaimada dough is airy, melting in the mouth, the pie itself is filled with whipped cream or delicate syrup, and sprinkled with powdered sugar on top.

Beverages

Liqueurs are popular among local drinks: Herbas secas (dry) and Herbas dulces (sweet). They are infused with anise with the addition of various fragrant herbs.

A very popular aperitif on the island is the Palo drink, which is made by mixing sweet caramel with bitter cinchona bark.

Here I will list the best restaurants on the island:

• Es Raco d "es Teix (the average bill is 50–70 €);
• Salvia Restaurant (average bill is 20 €);
• A ma Maison (average bill is 30 €);

Holidays

As the locals joke, in Mallorca every day is a holiday! And this is fully justified: the wonderful climate, beautiful nature and the endless sea contribute to the fact that the inhabitants of the island always have a great mood. But there are also several official holidays.

San Rua Carnival

A special holiday in Mallorca is the Sa Rua carnival. Here it is held in winter, in the first half of February.

Elegant residents in costumes take to the streets of the capital and arrange a procession. The carnival is held before the beginning of the Catholic Lent.

Mallorca Day

This holiday is celebrated on September 12, it was adopted by King James II back in 1276, when the island of Mallorca was liberated from Muslims.

On this day, concerts and fairs are organized on the island.

Safety. What to watch out for

Mallorca seemed to me a very calm and safe place. Of course, pickpocketing, which is widespread in Europe, should not be ruled out, but in general, walking around Palma and its environs in the evening is not at all scary, because in summer life is in full swing until late at night.

In large stores and supermarkets, you will definitely not be deceived, and in small souvenir shops you can count your purchase amount and the change received just in case, although it is generally not common here to openly cash in on tourists.

Therefore, in Mallorca you should not beware of something serious, but still the basic simple safety rules should be observed.

Things to do

Mallorca has a lot of entertainment, you can explore all the beaches of the island and go snorkeling, or you can immerse yourself in its cultural life and visit the most important museums, temples and other historical sights of the island.

You can also go to Cape Formentor, admire the wonderful scenery and arrange a photo session there. Or go to the eastern part of the island to meet the owners of local farms and try their traditional dishes. Do not forget about shopping, you must definitely go to the center of leather products - the city of Inca. There are a lot of options, choose what you like about your soul and enjoy your vacation!

Despite the fact that Mallorca is a rather small island, shopping here is a pleasure! And all because here you can find exclusive items that are produced only in the Balearic Islands!

Souvenirs. What to bring as a gift

From the island of Mallorca, you can bring quite a lot of original gifts to your friends and relatives. You can buy traditional summer sandals, which I wrote about above, by the way, here you can even buy a magnet in the shape of such sandals! Be sure to take the ensaimada pie with you, which can be stored for 2-3 days when closed, and please your friends with this delicacy in the first days after your arrival home (the average price per kilogram is 7-10 €).

Despite the fact that Mallorca is a rather small island, shopping here is a pleasure! And all because here you can find exclusive items that are produced only in the Balearic Islands!

An excellent example is the traditional summer sandals - avarks. Their homeland is the neighboring island of Menorca. They are made of genuine leather, in various colors - standard plain or decorated with beads, bright prints, rhinestones. In Mallorca, they are sold both in small shoe stores and in leather factories, for example, in the city of Inca. These unusual sandals can be a great souvenir for family and friends, and will look great with both shorts and flowy dresses. Their cost varies depending on the materials they are made from, but the average price of avark is around 30€ per pair.

And it is here that the famous factory of artificial pearls is located. Majorica . If you find yourself in a company store, then you definitely won’t be left without a purchase! Pearl beads and bracelets, earrings and pendants are distinguished by their elegance and excellent quality. Prices for pearls are different, for example, the average cost of a pearl necklace is about 300 €, but a pearl bracelet will cost you 100 €. By the way, the factory warranty is 10 years!

Of course, do not forget about leather products. Head straight to the city of Inca, where leather factories and shops for shoes and accessories are located at every turn. Popular shoe manufacturers here are: Camper, Bestard, Jaime Mascaro, Barrats, Tomeu, Bestard.

In Palma, go shopping in the areas: A Vinguda Jaume III and Passeig des Born, as well as many shops you will meet on the pedestrian street around Plaza Mayor. The tourist map of Palma will help you not to get lost again, where all the main streets are marked.

When traveling with a child, you should pay attention to the southwestern, northern or eastern part of the island - in such places there are few noisy youth and parties, so here you can really relax and gain strength.

Ski holidays

conditional areas. Descriptions and features

Mallorca is divided into 7 main areas:

• metropolitan,
• central,
• northwestern,
• south,
• southwestern,
• southeastern,
• northeastern.

metropolitan area

Located closer to the southwestern part of the island, it is here that the main attractions and the residence of the royal family are located. If you want to be in the center of all events, then it is worth settling here.

The city itself is quite noisy, crowds of tourists walk around, it is very hot and stuffy during the day, so I recommend renting an apartment or staying in a hotel, which is located a few kilometers from Palma. I lived in the vicinity of Cala Major beach - this is a typical Spanish resort suburb, there are many hotels, cafes, shops, a large public beach and several museums. In general, an ideal place for those who like a measured, but not too boring holiday. Housing here will be more expensive than in other areas, since this is the capital, that is, the most important area of ​​the island.

southwestern region

This area of ​​the island is the most densely populated. Here are located such large cities as Illetas, Portals, Santa Ponsa, Paguera. It is best to come here with family and children, because in these places you can relax and enjoy the tranquility.

It is also here that the large golf club Bendinat is located, so the area is considered very prestigious and by no means cheap.

Northwestern region

Along the coast, in the shade of trees, townhouses and villas are located, which, if desired, can be rented for the summer, and here you can also observe beautiful mountain landscapes. Why not a heavenly place?

northern region

This area is famous for its unforgettable views and pristine beaches. It is here that the highest point of the island is located - Cape Formentor, which offers a magnificent view of the sea. Housing in this place will be quite expensive due to the extraordinary beauty of nature and due to the proximity to the "star" villas.

The major cities of the region are Alcudia and Poyença. There is a port near Pollença from where you can sail around the island on a yacht.

Northeast of the island

It is distinguished by its beauty and serenity. Settling here, you will forget about all the problems and the bustle of the city.

In the area, you will find a large number of traditional rural houses and farms, and you can also interact with friendly locals, and they may invite you to taste oranges grown in their garden or homemade jamon (pork jerky).

Southeast

It is essentially very similar to the northeast, agriculture and navigation are also common here, so if you want to get to know the local way of life and taste fresh fruits, vegetables and seafood, as well as immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the island, get to know its cultural and historical component, then this is a great option!

Southern part of the island

But it is famous for its long beaches, sports bars and noisy discos. The largest resort town is Arenal. It is here that the largest water park of the island is located, an amazing aquarium with sharks and rays, and many more bars. The place is considered quite budgetary for recreation, so all young people live in this part, respectively, the prices for living here do not bite compared to the costs in other areas.

If you like a bright, cheerful holiday, then you are here. A little to the south is the longest beach of the island - Es Trenc. It is characterized by white sand and light blue sea.

For 27.5 euros your child can ride an ostrich. The trip is absolutely safe - it is carried out under the supervision of adults. You can also visit little ostriches here, and it will be very interesting to watch and play with the big ones.
