During the summer months, the destination will gain prominence in magazines and social networks. Not only by the beaches of crystal clear waters or the agitated nightlife, but also for the regular visits of the Spanish royal family. For several years the kings of Spain have chosen this place to vacation with their daughters, showing different places of the island and, therefore, promoting local heritage and culture.
This is the largest, the largest of the Balear islands, which stands out for having direct flights from the airports of Lisbon and Porto. Although it is often associated with bathing tourism, Ilha Guarda Recantos less explored, historical villages and relief cultural heritage.
According to Caras magazine, it is precisely this diversity that attracts the Spanish royal family, which annually shares images of visits to different places, contributing to the projection of the island beyond the foil.
Palm de Mallorca is also standing out for its “urban microclimate”. It is that, thanks to its location between the sea and the mountain, the island records milder temperatures. The sea breeze and protected geography help to soften the climate.
Former, where the road finds the abyss
The extreme north of the island is occupied by the formal peninsula, known for its cliffs and miracouters. According to the Blog Alma de Traveler, the road that runs through this area leads to the headlight of Cabo Formador, passing through the Miradouro Es Colomer and small covers that are difficult to access.
One of the most discreet beaches, Cala Murta, forces a walk of about 30 minutes, but, according to the same source, offers a more isolated and silent experience.
Three villages in the heart of the mountain
The Serra de Tramuntana, classified by UNESCO as a heritage of humanity, welcomes three villages that the attentive visitor should not ignore. Fornalutx, Deii and Valldemosa differ from each other, but share the landscape frame and the presence of traditional architecture.
As the Alma de Traveler Blog writes, Fornalutx stands out for its reduced dimension and well-preserved, while Deià, erected over a rugged terrain, offers a less predictable experience. Valldemossa, although also inserted in this mountainous triangle, attracts greater tourist flow, which is reflected in the stores and restaurants aimed at visitors.
We recommend:
Alcudia, between walls and tapas
In the north of the island, the walled city of Alcudia contrasts with the neighboring bathing zone. According to the Alma de Traveler blog, the old city keeps the medieval structure, with walls that extend for about 1,500 meters. Inside are churches, tapas bars, shops and small -scale accommodation. Among them, we highlight the Hotel Can Mostatxins, inserted in a historical building.
Santanyí: Litoral to discover Pé
The municipality of Santanyí, located in the southeast of the island, brings together several of the most sought -after slices in Majorca. Still according to the Alma de Traveler blog, these small beaches have common characteristics: limited access, preserved natural scenario and sea in turquoise tones. Even on short trips, the visit to the area is recommended for those who want to know the diversity of the Major Coastal.
The capital of the island, Palma de Mallorca, welcomes the Pilar I Joan Miró Foundation Museum. In this space it is possible to visit not only the permanent exhibitions, but also the original studios where the Catalan artist worked.
It underlines the Blog Alma de Traveler that the museum displays paintings, sculptures and works little viewed by Joan Miró, many of them produced during the period in which he lived on the island.
The cathedral that dominates the city
Still in the capital, one of the most striking buildings is Palma de Mallorca Cathedral. Known locally by “la Seu”, this gothic construction is imposed on the horizon line.
According to the blog, it is one of five places to visit in the city. Its structure and location by sea make it one of the most iconic points of palm.
