hy Go?

For outstanding weather, stunning mountainous landscapes, and spectacular beaches. The three largest

islands in the Spanish archipelago east of the Iberian Peninsula — Mallorca, Ibiza, and Menorca — offer all of the

above, yet there are distinguishing features. Expect more unspoiled beauty on Ibiza and Menorca and a wealth of

action on Mallorca, which is home to the Balearic capital city, Palma de Mallorca. Read on for Mallorca musts.

Spain, Balearic Islands

1. HIKE AND BIKE:

Whether on two wheels or your

own two feet, get out and explore the trails that

range from coastal routes to paths through

mountains and hinterland.

2. BEACHES:

Choose your preferred particle

(sand, gravel, or pebbles) and head to the coast.

From long, wide stretches to small, secluded coves, there are more than 200 around the island from which

to choose.

3. ARCHITECTURE:

There’s much to admire in Palma de Mallorca. La Seu, the massive Gothic cathedral

makes an excellent starting point, then visit the nearby Almudaina Palace and the Moorish Baths.

4. CAVES OF DRACH:

Join a guided spelunking tour of these beautifully lit caves in Porto Cristo. The

highlight is sure to be the live classical musical concert performed on the subterranean Lake Martel.

5. TRAIN JOURNEY:

Climb aboard a rare narrow-gauge railcar for a scenic 17-mile (27 kilometers) ride

between Palma de Mallorca and Sóller. The winding route treats passengers to breathtaking views of

mountains, countryside, and olive groves.

6. DEIÀ:

Wander the steep, narrow streets of this seaside village. Deià has attracted artists and writers for

generations, and is home to Belmond La Residencia, a hotel frequented by international celebrities.

7.

SOBRASADA

:

Spread a piece of bread with this soft

sausage, a Mallorcan specialty.

8. ES BALUARD:

Ponder paintings, drawings, and

sculptures at this contemporary museum of art in Palma

de Mallorca. Es Baluard features works by notables

such as Cezanne, Gauguin, Picasso, and Miró.

9. CAP DE FORMENTOR:

Look out over the sea from the

peak of the plunging cliffs, for what just might be the

most magnificent panorama on the island.

10. BINISSALEM WINE ROUTE:

Stop in for tours and

tastings at the wineries and cellars that continue the

island’s millennia-old oenological traditions.
