The
Balearic Islands comprise of three major islands, Majorca, Minorca and
Ibiza, plus three smaller pieces of land by the names of Formentera,
Cabrera and the uninhabited Dragonera.
They lie off the coast of Spain
between France and the coast of northern Africa. Every year the islands
are a magnet for millions of holiday-makers.
Majorca is the largest island and the most commercial. Much of it's countryside
has given way to large expanses of hotels and apartment complexes,
although there are still some parts of the island that remain untouched.
Here you will find the capital of the Balearic Islands, Palma.
Ibiza
is known for it's attraction to the party-goers but many tourists are also
attracted to it's white sands and clear blue waters.

Balearic Islands
Various
Formentera was for many years, known as the forgotten
Balearic. At just 30 square miles it is the smallest of the islands and
the least developed.
Most people visit the island for the day as there has
been a strict limit on the number of hotels that have been allowed to be
constructed. British and German visitors form the bulk of the holiday
makers seeking the long, white beaches and clear, unspoilt waters.
Menorca
is the most serene of the islands and the last to succumb to the tourist
invasion. Much of the island has been protected by the government to stop
the wild tourist development of the past. |
