Traveling to Mallorca, Spain

Traveling to Mallorca, Spain

The warm, dry summers on Mallorca (also spelled Majorca) are a boon to the millions of tourists that descend on the island each summer. The climate, beaches, beautiful countryside and exciting nightlife make Mallorca one of the most popular holiday destinations in the world.

Travel to the island during the peak summer season and you’ll find most of the 5 star Mallorca hotels booked to capacity. Likewise the private guest cottages and tourists resorts. Luckily, the weather during the offseason is still quite comfortable, though visiting outside the summer months means many popular restaurants and attractions may have limited hours of operation or even be closed.

Mallorca is ideal for the active tourists. Between the beaches, cliffs, hills, and lakes, the island offers countless opportunities for hiking, sailing, swimming, and cycling. Beach combing and bird watching are also popular activities. Mallorca is a prime location for rock climbing, especially climbing over deep water which is also known as deep water psicobloc.

There are several historic sites on Mallorca, including the Castell de Bellver and the Cathedral Le Seu. The cities on Mallorca offer a variety of shopping and dining experiences as well as bars and clubs to keep adults busy all night.
