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.
