Mallorca - Balearic Islands

Mallorca Holiday Information

If you are planning your holidays to Mallorca the following information may help by giving you an overview on the island of Mallorca.

Mallorca, or Majorca, is the largest of Spain’s Balearic Islands [its name comes from the Latin insular major, "larger island". Today, Mallorca holidays are very popular due to the assurance of fine summer weather and good beaches, plus the fact that a wide range of accommodation, food, entertainment and leisure facilities is available at competitive prices.

Palma de Mallorca is the island’s capital and the administrative centre of the Balearic Islands, and is a bustling, busy and cosmopolitan city. A Gothic cathedral and a medieval castle lend Palma historical interest and, with luxury shops crowing graceful boulevards and millionaire yachts packing the marina, the city is chic and classy.

Mallorca is a well-balanced island, in that although tourism is its foremost revenue earner, it is by no means the island’s sole economic activity. There is a well-developed show and leather goods industry, and a whole range of products, from furniture to cultured pearls, is manufactured on the island.

Leather and footwear is another craft - visit Inca and Llucmajor. Ceramic have been a popular craft in Mallorca for centuries and pottery shops [or "olleries"] can be found around Mallorca - particular in the town of Portol.

Travel tips and ideasInvest in a good book.
Either informational or fiction based
on your chosen destination. It will
add interest to places you visit or
pass through on your journey.

Eating Out in Mallorca:
The Balearic cuisine you will encounter on your holidays to Mallorca is essentially Mediterranean. It makes full use of local herbs and of tomatoes, aubergines, courgettes, and peppers. These are all fried up together and form the basis for a variety of fish stews. Tumbet is a Mallorcan-style ratatouille of aubergines, potatoes and peppers in olive oil.

Calderata de langosta has the local red lobstoer as its main ingredient. Calderata de peix is the same sort of hearty stew, using whatever came in with the catch, fish and seafood mixed together.

You are certain to come across two local specialities on your Mallorca holidays: ensaimadas which are the local fluffy and light pastries and sobrasada which is a red spicy sausage pate. Sopas Mallorquinas are very thick soups with chunky bits of bread floating about in them and empanadillas are mini-pies and can be either sweet or savoury. Paella and gazpacho are on just about every restaurant menu in Mallorca [as they are everywhere else in Spain]. Calamares en su tinta is probably one of the oddest dishes you are likely to encounter, which is squid cut usually in rings and stewed in its own ink and is, of course, jet black. It is invariably served with white rice and most people find it delicious.
