Mallorca is a traditional summer sun resort for the family, popular with tourists from all around Europe and the rest of the world, not least with Brits heading abroad for their holidays. They gather in Palma, the island''s largest city to the south west. However if you head off to the island and explore beyond the best known hotspots you will find that Mallorca offers so much more. The largest of the Balearics, the island of Mallorca attracts so many people who come for its sunny beaches, its bars and restaurants, and the chance to relax it affords its visitors. The beaches in particular are its greatest draw, thanks to the 550 kilometres of coastline around the island. The capital Palma is a renowned cultural spot, with its famous cathedral, its old town and its Jewish quarter. It is a city of spectacular Mediterranean architecture, with a great history and so many places to eat, drink, shop and enjoy your time off. Top tourist spots like these do however become very busy in the peak summer season. Therefore you may well want to get away from the crowds and go down the less-trodden paths away from the southern and eastern coasts. You''re sure to find quieter, gentler beaches elsewhere around the coast. The Dragon Caves are a great place to visit too, as is the stunning mountain range along the north western coast, the Serra de Tramuntana. Outside of the main summer sun resorts there are plenty of activities you can take part in which will give you a chance to explore the island. The hiking trails along the Serra de Tramuntana are particularly fine, whilst cycling is a very popular pursuit on the island''s roads especially in spring and early summer. Mallorca''s location in the midst of the Mediterranean makes it a perfect destination for rock climbers, particularly those who want to experience deep water soloing, or climbing rocks above deep water. There are plenty of opportunities for yacht chartering and sailing around the coast too. Visitors to Mallorca can enjoy more carefree pursuits too: there are eighteen large golf courses on offer, open to the general public. Similarly if you want to explore the island''s natural life, then places such as S''Abulfera near Alcudia are great spots for birdwatching, as are the cliffs of Fortmentor where you might even get a chance to see the rare Elenora''s Falcon. To really get around and see what Mallorca has to offer you will want to hire a car. That way you''ll be able to enjoy a rich holiday experience as well as relax and have fun.
