How to visit Mallorca ?

To get to Mallorca, you can fly directly to Palma de Mallorca Airport (PMI), which is well-connected to major European cities. Alternatively, you can take a ferry from Barcelona, Valencia, or Ibiza. The island has a reliable public transportation system, including buses and trains, making it easy to explore various towns and attractions.

It is recommended to book some activities in advance, such as guided tours, boat trips, and tickets to popular attractions like the Caves of Drach or Palma Aquarium. If you plan to rent a car, it's also a good idea to reserve your vehicle in advance to ensure availability and the best prices.

Costs in Mallorca can vary depending on your travel style. Accommodation, dining, and transportation prices are generally more affordable during the off-season (October-April). Expect to spend around €100-150 per day for a mid-range budget, including accommodation, meals, and activities.

Some of the best things to do in Mallorca include visiting the historic town of Alcudia, exploring the stunning Serra de Tramuntana mountain range, and relaxing on the pristine beaches of Cala Millor or Es Trenc. For a taste of local history, visit the beautiful Palma Cathedral and Bellver Castle.

For dining options, try the traditional Mallorquin dishes at S'Arc in Alcudia, which offers a cozy atmosphere and delicious seafood. Alternatively, head to Ca'n Pedro in Genova for an authentic Spanish experience, serving mouth-watering tapas and local specialties. For a fine dining experience, visit Marc Fosh in Palma, a Michelin-starred restaurant offering innovative Mediterranean cuisine.

When it comes to accommodation, the island offers a variety of options. For a luxurious stay, book a room at the stunning Belmond La Residencia in Deià, nestled amidst the Tramuntana mountains. If you prefer a boutique hotel, try Hotel Can Mostatxins in Alcudia, which combines modern comforts with historic charm. For budget travelers, consider staying at Hostal Corona in Palma, a cozy and affordable option near the city center.

Off the beaten path:

For an unusual travel experience in Mallorca, visit the enchanting village of Valldemossa, nestled in the Tramuntana mountains. This charming town is famous for its beautiful cobblestone streets, ancient stone houses, and the Royal Charterhouse of Valldemossa, a former monastery that once housed the composer Frederic Chopin. Explore the local art galleries and enjoy a traditional pastry called "coca de patata" at a local café while soaking in the tranquil atmosphere.

Another off-the-beaten-path experience is hiking in the S'Albufera Natural Park, a wetland reserve teeming with birdlife and native flora. The park offers several trails suitable for all fitness levels, providing a peaceful escape from the bustling tourist areas.

Short description of the island...

Mallorca, a sunny island in the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of Barcelona, is known as the largest and most popular of the Balearic Islands. For many travelers, Mallorca's image is one of the concrete coastlines, seaside resorts, beaches crowded with tourists, and unauthentic villages. However, this Balearic island is quite the opposite, and much of it is made up of beautiful landscapes, from chiseled mountains and towering cliffs to picturesque stone villages, turquoise coves, and wild beaches. If you're looking for an island break that's easily accessible, pleasantly warm, and rich in history, Mallorca seems like the perfect destination!

The assets of Mallorca

You will enjoy strolling through the narrow streets of Palma, the capital, and admiring the many historical buildings such as its atypical Romanesque-Gothic cathedral, more commonly known as La Seu, its castle which dominates the city and offers a wonderful panorama of the roofs of Palma, and its royal palace, today one of the residences of the King of Spain. Visiting Mallorca also means discovering its steep coastline, its Serra de Tramuntana mountain range, its typical villages, and its vineyards. Once the sun goes down, you will enjoy the island's delicious restaurants and lively nightlife.

There's no doubt about it, Mallorca is a charming island to discover without moderation.
