I N T RODU C I NG MA L LO RC A . . . . . .an island full of diversity Only a short flight fromtheUK,Mallorca has been a favourite holiday destination formany years and is described as one of themost beautiful, underrated andunspoilt islands in theMediterranean.

It is hard to believe that such a small island offers visitors such diversity – from dramatic mountains, flower-filled hillsides and charming villages, to picturesque bays, small resorts and fabulous sandy beaches. Activities and places to visit inMallorca include an excellent selection of watersports throughout the island, golf courses, excursions in glass- bottomed boats, vast underground caves, isolated hilltopmonasteries and castles, marshes full of wildlife attractingmany birdwatchers and some truly stunningmountains, which are enjoyed bywalkers and cyclists alike. Themainmountain range on the island is the Serra de Tramuntana, which stretches the entire length of the north coast.

Mallorca is blessed by a hotMediterranean sun that is complemented by cool, refreshing sea breezes and thewinters are quitemild too. Away from themain resorts, inland towns are fairly undeveloped and offer a relaxedway of life. Much ofMallorca remains untouched by tourism. Mallorcan cuisine is generally Mediterranean but also with many characteristic dishes such as Mallorcan Soups, made with fine slices of bread in a hot broth and accompanied by vegetables and sometimes a bit of meat. Trampó is a salad par excellence; it accompanies most meals in summer and consists of pieces of tomato, red pepper and onion, with a dressing of olive oil, vinegar

and salt. Tumbet is another typical accompaniment in summer; it is made from finely-sliced potatoes, aubergine and peppers, which are fried and covered with a tomato sauce. Pa amb Oli is sliced bread with local ramallet tomato squeezed over it along with a dash of olive oil and a pinch of salt. This is usually accompanied by cheese, grilled meat or cold sausage meat. There is plenty to explore and enjoy and your hire car gives easy access to all of Mallorca’s attractions. The excellent road network includes stretches of motorway and also winding, mountain roads, with simply breathtaking views.
