Mallorca Info
Have a Map of Island and then the south-west highlighting areas
MALLORCA is the largest of the legendary Islas Baleares, 62 miles
long by 47 miles wide (hence it's name as it is derived from the
latin "major" meaning bigger). In the north-west enjoy
rugged mountains and rolling hills, that encompass numerous indentations
providing spectacular anchorages.
In the SOUTH-WEST you can treat yourself to some cultural sightseeing,
fine shopping, excellent restaurants and tapas bars in the capital
city of Palma. In this area we will also show you the high white
cliffs with plenty of small bays and calas for you to swim in the
crystal blue waters. You can also visit the Isla de Cabrera, a national
park island and Isla de Dragonera. Inland, if you care to make any
excursions, you will find unexpected beauty with olive groves and
fruit orchards, Moorish terraced cultivation and dramatic views
in the mountains. Winter cruising here is excellent as there are
many warm and sunny days with a good sailing breezes, with temperatures
on a par to a typical English summer's day.
