Mallorca is the largest island in Spain as its name suggests. The north west coast is characterised by its lack of beaches but this in itself can be an attraction, as small towns and villages have remained much as they were centuries ago, with cobbled streets, Moorish stonework and Roman water mills. This is one of the few places left in the Mediterranean which remains both dramatically beautiful, yet virtually untouched by modern development.  The northeast coast comprises two sweeping bays: the Badia de Pollença and the larger Badia d'Alcúdia. The northern coast is generally rugged and has many cliffs.

Property in Mallorca is more expensive than in many parts of Spain but the island doesn’t sleep in winter and year round living continues. One of the attractions of Mallorca is that the distances are so small, so one is never too far from the sea or a major town.  South and west of Palma is home to some of the more expensive properties which benefit from the facilities offered by longer established coastal villages and towns. East of Palma the coastal area has opened up to more recent development where properties are generally newer and built to a high standard but remain generally cheaper than on the other side of Palma, as good sized town facilities are a little further away though still within good striking distance.

With sunshine 300 days a year, yet seldom getting too hot, Mallorca consists of more than just tourist packed costas, offering a selection of year round outdoor activities. It is easy to see why the Spanish Royal family, poets, artists, musicians and sports personalities and many other celebrities have chosen to have a home on the island.

Language:  The languages of Majorca are Catalán and Spanish The local dialect of Catalan is Mallorquí, even though the dialects are slightly different in most villages. Typically, young Majorcans are bilingual in Catalan and Spanish, with some knowledge of English.
