The Mediterranean is light, is pleasure, is culture, is people, is everything that you can wish, is even more than this.
Bahía de Alcudia
The bay of Alcudia is the longest beach in the Balearic islands yet is 17 kms long. Located in northeastern Majorca where we find such well-known places as Ca’n Picafort, Platges de Muro and of course Alcudia. Going across the bay we discover stunning landscapes like Es Mal Pas, the hermitage of La Victoria, the Isle of Alcanada or the Nature reserve of S’Albufera. Doubtless, the best environment for a perfect holiday.
Calvià
Calvia’s council, with a 145 km2 area, is located on the west end of Majorca.It is one of the most visited spots of Majorcan coastline as its beauty attracts people all over the world . 26 lovely beaches line Calvia’s seashore and each one is unique for its attributes. The inland catches the eye of anyone for its extraordinary landscapes.
Capdepera
The township of Capdepera is located in the northeast of Majorca, in the Llevant district. Capdepera has many of the most beautiful beaches and coves on Majorca’s east coast. The areas of Cala Ratjada, Cala Mesquida, Canyamel and Font de Sa Cala are first rate tourist spots. There are also two areas of great natural and scenic value, which have been catalogued as areas of special natural interest: “Sa Mesquida” Valley that goes down to the beaches of the same name, where there is one of the island’s most important coastal sand dune, known as “Munt Gros”. And the “Canyamel” Valley through which a river of the same name flows. The valley stretches to the Canyamel beach from where the entrance to the Artá Caves can be viewed. A visit to the Artá Caves can be an excellent way to get to know this region of the island in-depth.
Ciutadella
Ciutadella de Menorca with a population of 27,000 inhabitants is proud of having been Minorca’s capital from Muslim dominion to the 18th century when Ciutadella lost its capital status by invaders’ order. The Mansions and noblemen traditions contribute to accentuate its high-ranking condition.
All the city has been declared as National Artistic Heritage and the feasts are considered of high cultural interest, above all Saint John’s when the “jaleo” (Medieval equestrian exhibition) takes place on Ciutadella streets.
Ciutadella has an authentic Mediterranean atmosphere with warm and ruddy colours façades reminding of Venice style.
The chock-a-block old town is worth visiting, where Muslim style buildings stand side by side with medieval style ones.
