MAJORCA
There never has been and possibly never will be again, such a complete holiday destination as Majorca. Whatever you enjoy most on your holiday - whether exploration or pure relaxation - you'll find it in abundance on this blessed Mediterranean island. Majorca is effectively Spain in miniature. The high-tech, ultra-modern resorts of Palma Nova and Magaluf are just a short distance from the timeless tranquillity of Palma Cathedral, and the sophisticated shopping of the capital. Travel through groves of almonds, olives and citrus fruits to the east, and you'll find the stylish marina and secluded coves of Cala d'Or. Heading further north brings you to Alcudia, perhaps the Med's finest family resort, where shelving sands and bustling restaurants keep all ages amused. With more then enough to satisfy even the most demanding holidaymaker, it's easy to see why thousands of happy holidaymakers return to the island year after year.
