The taste of sweet green olive oil and fresh ripe
tomatos, the sounds of carefree children laughing
on sun-drenched beaches, the sight of a myriad
yachts at anchor in picturesque harbors...

Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza, and Formentera, where life is lived at an unhurried pace and the people are refreshingly friendly.

| The Balearic Islands, better known as Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza, and Formentera. Each very different from the others. History, beach life, fiestas, shopping — you'll find everything Spain is famous for. Their climate, scenery and beaches are exceptional, and their inhabitants have a tradition for being particularly hospitable. It would appear that these islands are the ideal location for resting and relaxing since they contain all the necessary ingredients for achieving this aim: beautiful scenery, forests, quiet and secluded beaches with crystal-clear waters, interesting folklore, a mild climate and temperatures. |
In spite of the close proximity of the different islands and the very many common ties between them, each one has its own very different landscape. Majorca has a magnificent coastline consisting of rocky outcrops intermingled with many small coves that offer excellent sandy beaches. Menorca, on the other hand, is noted for its tranquility, while Ibiza has a personality all of its won. Formentera and Cabrera are extremely solitary islands.
