8 PLACES TO VISIT IN MALLORCA
Mallorca, also spelt Majorca is the largest island in the Balearic Islands, which are part of Spain and located in the Mediterranean Sea.
Places to visit in Mallorca:
1. Palma de Mallorca, is the capital and largest city of the autonomous community of the Balearic Islands in Spain.
Attractions: Palma Cathedral, Belliver Castle, The port and marina, Placa Major etc.
2. Port de Soller, Port of Soller is little town situated in one of Mallorca's most beautiful harbours on the west coast.A tramway connecting the town to Sóller, opened in 1913 and is about 5 km long.
3.Sa Calobra, It is one of the most famous spots on Majorca.There are two separate beaches in this cove. When you arrive (by car, coach or boat) in Sa Calobra you will see a small stony beach in front of a restaurant. If you follow the paved path to the right you will come to a short, narrow tunnel from which you will get on to the main Sa Calobra. GO IN THE MORNING OR LATE EVENING!!! It can be very busy.
4.Calo des Moro, is one of those picture perfect beaches. It is located in the south east of the island, six kilometres from Santanyí. It is on private land but it is open to the public, they even had a plan to build an hotel here but it was prevented. We park quite far from the beach, there is a sign that tells you that the road is private.
5. Cap de Formentor; GO IN THE MORNING OR LATE AFTERNNON, it was end of september and it was very busy.I t is an amazing experience to drive there, but be carreful there is a lot of trafic.
6. Alcudia, It is the main tourist centre in the North of Mallorca but the the hotels are mainly concentrated outside the town. Alcudia, the old town is well preserved with houses dating back to the 13th century and it is surrounded by a medieval wall.
7. Cala Figuera, the pictoresque village is part of district of Santaniy. The place has been spared of the mass commercialisation, so is not that is easy to get here by public transport.
8. Cala Mondrago, is one of Mallorca's best beaches, mainly becuase the area was declared a national park since 1992, protecting the area from building hotels or anything else. It can be a very busy place, so expect a lot of tourist. My favorite thing about this place is the national park ,you can do a lot of walks there.
Others places to visit: Deia, Valldemossa, Lluc, Port d'Andratx, Santanyi, Coves del Drac.
Beaches: Es Trenc, Cala Formentor, Playa de Muro, Cala Llombards, Cala Mesquida, Cala Gat.

5. Valldemossa
Valldemossa is famous for one landmark: the Royal Charterhouse of Valldemossa, built at the beginning of the 14th century, when the mystic and philosopher Ramon Llull lived in this area of Majorca. Chopin and George Sand spent the winter of 1838-9 here in the old monastery. In spite of the beautiful view and general comfort of what is described as a cell, they were not happy and George Sand wrote a book which may well not have led the locals to want them back.
4. La Granja
A mountain estate of gracious architecture and bucolic surrounds. Yet this peaceful haven is also home to a horrific collection of torture devices used by the dreaded Inquisition
3. Fundació Pilar i Joan Miró
The genius and visionary power of the consummate Catalan artist are concentrated here. Not only can you experience the full range of Joan Miro's work, but you can also immerse yourself in the atmosphere of his studio

Bellver Castle is a Gothic style castle on a hill 3 km northwest of Palma on the Island of Majorca. It was built in the 14th century for King James II of Majorca, and is one of the few circular castles in Europe. Long used as a military prison throughout the 18th to mid-20th century, it is now under civilian control, being one of the main tourist attractions of the island, as well as the seat for the city's History Museum.
1. La Seu: Mallorca Cathedral
The Cathedral of Santa Maria of Palma, more commonly referred to as La Seu is a Gothic Roman Catholic cathedral located in Palma, built on the site of a pre-existing Arab mosque. It is 121 metres long, 55 metres wide and its nave is 44 metres tall. Designed in the Catalan Gothic style but with Northern European influences, it was begun by King James I of Aragon in 1229 but finished only in 1601. It sits within the old city of Palma atop the former citadel of the Roman city, between the Royal Palace of La Almudaina and the episcopal palace. It also overlooks the Parc de la Mar and the Mediterranean Sea.

Places to see in ( Mallorca - Spain ) Serra de Tramuntana
Places to see in ( Mallorca - Spain ) Serra de Tramuntana
Serra de Tramuntana of the north wind' which run the length of Mallorca's north coast are home to the island's most spectacular landscapes. Pine-covered slopes lean into the sea; as you climb higher, forested hills give way to barren crags and peaks. The people of Majorca have good reason to be grateful to the mountains - in winter they act as a buffer, shielding the plain from the fierce tramuntana wind and absorbing most of the island's rain and snow. In summer they provide a cool retreat from the heat of Palma and the south.
The Serra de Tramuntana runs for 88km from Andratx to Pollenca, with the rocky outcrops of Sa Dragonera and Cap de Formentor at either end. Ten peaks are over 1,000m, most are concentrated in the area around Lluc. The highest are Puig Major (1,445m) and Puig Massanella (1,349m). There are no rivers, though there are several mountain torrents which swell rapidly after rain, and the Cuber and Gorg Blau reservoirs, essential resources on an island so often affected by drought.
The mountains are best seen slowly, on foot. You smell the wild rosemary, hear the sheep bells, frighten the goats, breathe in the air and marvel at pine trees growing out of red rock - a divine version of the colours of Mallorcan village houses. If you have to drive, try to avoid the peak months of July and August, and take care - the roads here are the most dangerous on Majorca, and the endless procession of hairpin bends requires total concentration. The most dramatic drive of all is the C710 from Soller to Lluc, traversing tunnels and gorges on its way between Puig Major and Puig Massanella.
Of course, the Tramuntana Mountains hold great appeal for cyclists, both road and mountain types. The most famous route is that to Sa Calobra, a great descent with plenty of bends down to a beautiful coastline. Popular routes also include riding from Soller to Valldemossa, Soller to Pollenca and Andratx to Banyalbufar. For a selection of hikes in the mountains, the tourist office has published a useful guide with maps and reliefs, although their trail descriptions are a little sketchy! See Walking in Mallorca.

INSOLITA MAIORCA: il borgo di VALLDEMOSSA
Viaggiatori vi prendiamo e portiamo con noi nelle Baleari, alla scoperta di un'insolita Maiorca: il romantico borgo di Valldemossa.
Continua a viaggiare con noi iscrivendoti al nostro canale!
Se credete che Maiorca sia solo Palma di Maiorca, spiagge e mare allora dovete ricredervi perché nel nostro weekend trascorso in questa splendida isola delle Baleari abbiamo scoperto un entroterra davvero da non perdere.
Verdi montagne, romantiche vallate e pittoreschi borghi sono gli ingredienti perfetti per trascorrere qualche ora immersi nella natura, staccare totalmente la spina ed evitare la noia che può sopraggiungere nel trascorrere troppi giorni consecutivi in spalmati in spiaggia.
Noleggiata un'auto nel nostro albergo abbiamo abbandonato il blu del mare per puntare al verde dell'interno di Maiorca. Prima tappa: Valldemossa. Ad accoglierci (oltre ad un'aria davvero di montagna! Un consiglio: non dimenticate l'abbigliamento pesante, soprattutto in inverno/primavera) un borgo completamente costruito in pietra che regala una vista davvero spettacolare.
Cosa fare a Valldemossa? E' semplice: passeggiare per il suo centro storico e perdere tempo liberando la testa da ogni pensiero!
Il relax era davvero ai massimi livelli tant'è che non abbiamo sentito l'esigenza di aggiungere una sola parola al girato!
Vi aspettiamo nei commenti con domande, consigli e per conoscere la vostra esperienza a Maiorca e nelle Baleari e per sapere se anche voi come noi amate alla follia la Spagna!!!
