Hotels in the Balearic Islands, Spain - Ibiza, Mallorca & Menorca Travel
Guide
|
| The
Balearic
Islands (Illes Balears or Islas Baleares) are an archipelago in the
western Mediterranean Sea, near the eastern coast of the Iberian Peninsula.
The four largest islands are (from
largest to smallest): Majorca, Minorca, Ibiza, and Formentera. The archipelago
forms an autonomous community and a province of Spain, of which the capital
city is Palma. The co-official languages in the Balearic Islands are Spanish
and Catalan (i.e. Mallorquí, Menorquí and Eivissenc, as Catalan
is known by its speakers in this territory).
The main islands of the autonomous
community are Majorca (Mallorca), Ibiza (Eivissa) and Formentera, all of
which are popular tourist destinations. Among the minor islands is Cabrera,
which is the location of the Parc Nacional de l'Arxipèlag de Cabrera.
The islands can be further grouped, with Majorca, Minorca, and Cabrera
as the Gymnesian Islands, and Ibiza and Formentera as the Pine Islands. |

Ibiza
(Eivissa in its official form) is an island in the Mediterranean Sea 79
km off the coast of the city of Valencia in Iberian Peninsula, Spain. It
is the third largest of the Balearic Islands, an autonomous community of
Spain. With Formentera, it is one of the two Pine Islands or Pityuses.
Its largest cities are Ibiza Town (Catalan:Vila d'Eivissa or simply Vila),
Santa Eulària des Riu and Sant Antoni de Portmany.
The island is well-known for its
summer club parties which attract large numbers of tourists, but the island
and the Spanish Tourist Office have been working to shed the prevailing
"sex-and-alcohol" image in order to promote more family-oriented tourism.
Noted clubs include Space, Pacha, Privilege (ex Ku), Amnesia, DC10, Eden,
El Divino, Es Paradis, and Café del Mar. It is also home to the
'West End' party district of Sant Antoni, a popular stop for many tourists |
| Mallorca
(also known as Majorca) is the largest island of Spain . It is located
in the Mediterranean Sea and part of the Balearic Islands archipelago.
The name derives from Latin insula maior, "larger island"; later Maiorica.
The capital of the island, Palma,
is also the capital of the autonomous community of the Balearic Islands.
The Cabrera archipelago is administratively grouped with Majorca (in the
municipality of Palma). The anthem of Majorca is La Balanguera.
Like the other Balearic Islands of
Ibiza, Formentera, and Minorca, the island is a popular tourist destination.
In Germany, the United Kingdom and
to a lesser extent, Ireland, where package tourism to the island started
in May 1952, Majorca has remained a popular destination. |
|
Minorca or Menorca is
one of the Balearic Islands located in the Mediterranean Sea belonging
to Spain. It takes its name from being smaller than the nearby island of
Mallorca. Menorca has a population of approximately 88,000. It is located
39°47' to 40°00'N, 3°52' to 4°24'E. Its highest point,
