Full of beautiful beaches, calas, hotels and beach resorts, Mallorca is a very popular summer holiday destination for the English and Germans. The island has 250 miles of coastline, rocky to the north with beaches to the south. The main town of Mallorca is Palma de Mallorca, often simply referred to as 'Palma'.

Other important towns on Mallroca include Pollenca, Andraxt, Rajada and Arta. Away from these popular beach resort destinations, Mallorca has many little villages tucked away in the interior of the island. Places like Alaro, and Valdermossa and Banyalbufar nestled in the mountains are worth visiting for a break from the sand and people.
