Destinations - West Mediterranean - Balearic Islands 
A beautiful Spanish enclave set in the Mediterranean Sea - are famous throughout the world.
Their climate, scenery and beaches are exceptional, and their inhabitants have a tradition for
being particularly hospitable.
The capital of the islands - Palma de Majorca - is 132 miles from Barcelona, 287 from Marseille,
172 from Algiers and 140 from Valencia.
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, fertile farmlands, quiet and secluded beaches with crystal- clear waters, interesting
folklore, a mild climate and temperatures, and a first-class hotel industry.
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.
The Balearic Islands are composed of the four well-known and popular islands Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza and Formentera and further some more small islands. This archipelago has much more to show to you than you might think about: calm bights, wide beaches, agile towns and marinas, cliffy coasts and rocks, abundantly covered with vegetation. In its extraordinary variety, they exceed expectations and besides, you can make sailing trips independent of the season, because there are about 300 days of sun. Formentera, the smallest of the Balearic Islands, and also Ibiza should be visited because of their contrast: Ibiza offers excellent marinas and ports besides hundreds of idyllic bays and excellent sandy beaches. Fantastic nightlife, top restaurants, historic towns and beautiful un-spoilt coves making these four islands one of the most popular destinations in the Western Mediterranean. Ibiza is a 24 hours party island with beautiful beaches and a great nature. It is the opposite off the very close unknown island Formentera. Here you still find the flower power people and the only real white beaches of Spain.
