AVENTURAS POR LAS ISLAS BALEARES
Las Islas Baleares (Illes Balears) son una comunidad autónoma uniprovincial española, compuesta por las islas del archipiélago balear. Se encuentran situadas en el mar Mediterráneo, frente a la costa oriental de la península ibérica. Su capital es Palma de Mallorca.
El archipiélago está formado por dos grupos de islas y numerosos islotes: las Gimnesias (Mallorca, Menorca, Cabrera y algunos islotes cercanos como Dragonera, Conejera o la Isla del Aire) y las islas Pitiusas (Ibiza –en catalán y oficialmente Eivissa– y Formentera, junto con los distintos islotes que las rodean, como Espalmador y Espardell).
Las Islas Baleares constituyen la tercera comunidad autónoma española con mayor número de turistas extranjeros, detrás de Canarias, en segundo lugar y Cataluña, en primer lugar. Recibe más de 9,8 millones de turistas extranjeros anualmente. Según los datos aportados por AENA (Aeropuertos Españoles y Navegación Aérea) Mallorca es el principal destino turístico en las islas, con el 65% del total. La sigue Ibiza, con un 37% y luego Menorca y Formentera, con un 18,13% y un 12,37%, respectivamente. Los turistas que visitan las islas provienen principalmente de Europa, sobre todo de Alemania y Reino Unido.
Un día en la naturaleza de las Islas Baleares
A Day in the Nature of the Balearic Islands ♥ The Balearic Islands (English /ˌbæliˈærɨk ˈaɪləndz/; Catalan: Illes Balears [ˈiʎəz βəɫəˈas]; Spanish: Islas Baleares [ˈislas βaleˈaɾes]) are an archipelago of Spain in the western Mediterranean Sea, near the eastern coast of the Iberian Peninsula.
The four largest islands are Majorca, Minorca, Ibiza and Formentera. There are many minor islands and islets in close proximity to the larger islands, including Cabrera, Dragonera and S'Espalmador. The islands have a Mediterranean Climate, and the four major islands are all popular tourist destinations. Ibiza in particular is known as an international party destination, attracting many of the world's most popular DJs to its nightclubs. The islands' culture and cuisine are similar to that of the rest of Spain.
The archipelago forms an autonomous community and a province of Spain, with Palma de Mallorca as the capital. The co-official languages in the Balearic Islands are Catalan and Spanish. The current Statute of Autonomy declares the Balearic Islands as one nationality of Spain. Though currently a part of Spain, throughout history the Balearic Islands have been under the rule of number of different kingdoms and countries.
Etimology. The official name of the Balearic Islands in Catalan is Illes Balears, while in Spanish they are known as the Islas Baleares. The term Balearic derives from Greek (Γυμνησίαι/Gymnesiae and Βαλλιαρεῖς/Balliareis). In Latin (Baleares).
Of the various theories on the origins of the two ancient Greek and Latin names for the islands—Gymnasiae and Baleares—classical sources provide two.
According to the Lycophron's Alexandra verses, the islands were called Γυμνησίαι/Gymnesiae (γυμνός/gymnos, meaning naked in Greek) because its inhabitants were often nude, probably because of the year-round benevolent climate.
The Greek and Roman writers generally derive the name of the people from their skill as slingers (βαλεαρεῖς/baleareis, from βάλλω/ballo: ancient Greek meaning to launch), although Strabo regards the name as of Phoenician origin. He observed it was the Phoenician equivalent for lightly armoured soldiers the Greeks would have called γυμνῆτας/gymnetas.[7] The root bal does point to a Phoenician origin; perhaps the islands were sacred to the god Baal[original research?] and the resemblance to the Greek root ΒΑΛ (in βάλλω/ballo) is accidental. Indeed it was usual Greek practice to assimilate local names into their own language. But the common Greek name of the islands is not Βαλεαρεῖς/Baleareis, but Γυμνησίαι/Gymnesiai. The former was the name used by the natives, as well as by the Carthaginians and Romans,[8] while the latter probably derives from the light equipment of the Balearic troops γυμνῆται/gymnetae.
Geography and Hydrography. The main islands of the autonomous community are Majorca (Mallorca), Minorca (Menorca), Eivissa (Ibiza) and Formentera, all popular tourist destinations. Among the minor islands is Cabrera, the location of the Parc Nacional de l'Arxipèlag de Cabrera.
The islands can be further grouped, with Majorca, Minorca, and Cabrera as the Gymnesian Islands (Illes Gimnèsies), and Ibiza and Formentera as the Pityusic Islands (Illes Pitiüses officially in Catalan), also referred to as the Pityuses (or sometimes informally in English as the Pine Islands). There are many minor islands or islets close to the biggest islands, such as Es Conills, Es Vedrà, Sa Conillera, Dragonera, S'Espalmador, S'Espardell, Ses Bledes, Santa Eulària, Plana, Foradada, Tagomago, Na Redona, Colom, L'Aire, etc.
The Balearic Front is a sea density regime north of the Balearic Islands on the shelf slope of the Balearic Islands, which is responsible for some of the surface flow characteristics of the Balearic Sea.
