If you're looking to top up that tan then look to Majorca.
The largest of Spain's Balearic Islands boasts over 300 days of sunshine a year, along with a coast of 554 kilometres of beautiful crystal blue waters. Tempted yet? This is also an island with a long history of tourism and as any Majorca travel guide will tell you, is one that caters for all tastes. Fancy relaxing on the beach, partying all night long, trekking through the mountains, or simply soaking up some culture and fine cuisine with the family? The chances are you'll find activities for every tourist in Majorca; such is the diversity of this long established and popular holiday island.
...a coast of 554 kilometres of beautiful crystal blue waters.
Although the island is part of Spain, it has its own distinct cuisine, culture and language, known as Mallorquín. But don't despair if you've spent months honing your 'Español' with a set of audio CDs they all speak it here. This is in addition to English of course, and a good deal of German thrown in for good measure. To say Majorca is varied is an understatement, with bustling resorts, quaint mountain villages and chic fashionable towns all vying for your attention. In particular, the island's medieval capital Palma is a real gem. Even if you are staying in one of Majorca's plethora of resorts or towns, put aside a day for this beautiful city. With its narrow, atmospheric streets and Moorish influence, at nightfall you'd be forgiven for thinking you are on the set of the latest Batman movie. Check out the cathedral that dominates the Palma skyline - gothic is not the word.
...the island's medieval capital. Palma is a real gem.
And what about the island's clientele? Well they're an international bunch of tourists to be sure. Everyone's here from your celebrities (Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta Jones own a place here) and superyacht-owning billionaires, to your typical family of four looking for activities to entertain the little ones. And let's not forget the 18 to 30s set - head down to the hedonists' paradise resort of Magaluf to see how the hardcore revellers do it. Just make sure you finish up with a few aspirins to avoid any head issues the next day.
