Mallorca, the largest of the Balearic Islands, is considered by many as'The Jewel of the Mediterranean'. With varied cultures and spectacular scenery, are inspiring mountain ranges, orange and lemon groves, magnificent plains with almond trees in abundance displaying their blossom in springtime. Rugged cliffs, craggy coves and palm fringed white sandy beaches lead to the warm crystal waters of the Mediterranean; the sea is never far away.

Away from the coastal Towns and Resorts with all the amenities any visitor could desire there is still 'The Real Mallorca' to be found. Farmers still tend their fields using techniques handed down through generations. The small villages, hitherto little affected by tourism, are fascinating. Centred on the village square with the splendid church, the weekly market and the bars with their tree shaded terraces where folk while away a few hours in the heat of the afternoon sun. Some of the Island's best cuisine is to be found in typical 'Mallorcan' Restaurants hidden in the back streets of these local communities.

For those wanting a contrast, the coastal Towns and Resorts have a great deal to offer. plentiful bars and restaurants overlooking the fishing ports and smart marinas offer good International cuisine. Shopping is a leisurely pastime at the numerous attractive shops and boutiques offering local craft-ware and fashion. Every kind of water sport is available, sailing, wind-surfing, water-skiing and diving to name a few. There are many fine golf courses on Mallorca which cater for enthusiasts from all over the world. Equestrian centres are to be found for those wishing to explore the beautiful unspoilt mountains and countryside 'off the beaten track' or even ride in the sand-dunes. Marvel at the splendours of the ancient caves with their magnificent rock formations.

Mallorca boasts an almost idyllic year-round climate. Winter is short and although naturally cooler than Summer the noon- day temperatures often allow for short sleeves to be worn whilst sitting in the sun.
The average is 320 days of sunshine per year with summer temperatures rising to over 40ºC. The Island is particularly attractive to visitors from Northern Europe with easy access and short flying time to Palma International Airport which receives more charter flights than any other European destination. This, together with the fact that Mallorca boasts possibly the highest annual increase in Spanish property prices thus maximising upon the return of your capital invested, makes Mallorca a natural choice.
