Arive and spend day in Majorca Also known as Majorca, this Balearic island is a true Mediterranean paradise. It's deservedly famous for such natural wonders as its golden-sand beaches, tall pine groves and towering cliffs. The landscape is as varied as the northern mountains and the southern flatlands with their almond and olive groves. Among the many must-sees are a Gothic castle, a 13th century cathedral and the former palace of Mallorcan kings.

... cave tour we took the heli to the yacht which was approaching Minorca island when we landed aboard. It was close to 6 PM, so we washed up and had dinner on the sun deck at 7 PM while we watched the sunset and as we entered long entrance to the Mahón harbor, the second deepest natural harbor in the world.

... away from the small coastal town of Colònia de Sant Jordi. This beach was rated the second best bare beach in the world and I can see why. Only six of us could go to the beach since the yacht would continue on towards Minorca and we would have to return on the heli. I didn’t even think we would have six people since no one had fully recovered from last night. We took a tender to shore where the crew ...

... bin ich während dem Herumstöbern im Internet fündig geworden: Auch bei uns in der "Nähe" (jedenfalls verglichen mit der Karibik) gibt es wunderschöne Strände: Beispielsweise der tolle Strand "Es Trenc" in Mallorca. Die Fotos sehen traumhaft aus und bei genauerer Recherche ...

... They are very commercialized, however and don't allow any photography whatsoever... with or without flash. To no great surprise, as you exit the cave there's a stand selling post card collections, CDs and other goods with all the pictures they wouldn't let you take with your own camera. So... I have no pictures of the cave interior.<br><br>The cave is about 1.2 kilometers long (about half-a-mile) with four very large ...

... br><br>The entire village was surrounded by a stone wall. The individual houses have a separate area in the front of the house that archeologists believe may have been used to keep a few animals. The houses are all together like apartment buildings, so the south wall of one is the north wall of the next. Doorways are really short. You have to bend way over to get through. And you're allowed to ...

... to see the monastery.<br><br>There's an interesting story that sheds light on the thinking and attitudes of at least some of the people in this rural area. Not far north of Randa is the little hamlet of Pina. In the 1980's a single, female British anthropologist came to Mallorca to research rural communities. She lived in Pina for several months. It seems she didn't quite fit in. She was criticized for having her ...

... run away from the rat-race. So I booked my flight on easy jet and left in the past summer. Its a Island of most relaxed people on earth, when you go from London like city you will feel that more than other, even sometime you will wonder why they are so relaxed and so fun loving. As a single, I find Palma De Mallorca the most hang-out able ...

... For the way back you have two options, either walk out or take a trip on the boat. The boat sounds cool so I stand on line to get on it. Just to notice that after only a few feet later you have to get off it again, well the lake isn't that long. On the way out an older men snaps a picture and gets yelled at really bad by one of the security staff (I can't call them guides, since they didn't guide anything). I wait ...

... office we were told it was &euro;15.00 - for 4 nights - good eh! Andraitx is a small resort popular with Germans. Thus prices are good and standards of service etc in the restaurants is excellent. We decided to take a trip into Palma, by bus, to get the old train from there up the coast, through the mountains to Soller. The trip was brilliant, great scenery, reasonably comfy train and thousands of camera obsessive Germans. We had a great day out except for the bus ...
