BALEARIC
ISLANDS
The Balearic Islands are an archipelago
in the western Mediterranean Sea, near
the eastern coast of the Iberian Peninsula.
The main islands
are Majorca, Minorca,
Ibiza and Formentera, all
of which are popular tourist destinations.
Among the minor islands is Cabrera,
which is the location of the Parc Nacional
de l'Arxipèlag de Cabrera.
Majorca is synonymous with world-renowned
beaches and coves, but is also
a perfect destination to enjoy
countryside, golf, culture, water
sports, entertainment... It has
550 kilometres of coast, where
you will find some
of the Mediterranean's most beautiful
coves and beaches: white sand beaches
with a full range of services, as well
as small coves set between cliffs and
pine groves in the north of the island.
Its clean, clear waters are ideal
for swimming and water sports
such as
scuba diving, windsurfing, fishing,
sailing, and even surfing.
Minorca
is a peaceful, unique natural
oasis, packed with contrasts to discover.
It is a real paradise, washed
by
the Mediterranean Sea, that will
seduce you with its harmony and
diversity.
The island has 216 kilometres
of highly varied coastline, from
the rugged shores
and reddish beaches of the north,
to the gentle relief of the south,
with
golden sandy coves. There are many
different options to enjoy sun and
sea, whether on broad sandy beaches
or at small coves surrounded by pine
groves. They all have one thing in
common, however: clean, crystal clear
waters.
Ibiza is a very popular tourist destination,
especially due to its legendary and
at times riotous nightlife. It is
also famous for Café del Mar, a long-standing
bar where many tourists traditionally
view the sunset made famous by José Padilla.
