What to see in Majorca
Majorca is the most popular destination in the Balearic Islands, as well as a sure bet for a few days holiday. This land is one of those places that has it all: gorgeous architecture, breath-taking natural landscapes, the essence of delicious Majorcan cuisine, numerous sports facilities, including numerous golf courses and recreational ports in which to rent boats, and a pleasant Mediterranean climate throughout the year.
Among the many places to visit we recommend the capital of the island, Palma de Majorca. Wandering the streets of the city you will stumble across interesting buildings such as Sa Llotja, The Royal Palace of Almudaina, the Museum Es Baluard, home to a collection of contemporary art, the Cathedral of Santa Maria of Palma, with a chapel decorated by Miquel Barceló, and the 14th century Bellver Castle, which is one of only three circular castles left in Europe.
To the south of the capital there are some incredible coast resorts such as Can Pastilla, where the offices of ROIG travel can be found, as well as Palmanova, Playa de Palma, Calvià, Andratx and many more.
And it would be impossible not to mention one of the greatest landscapes in the area: the Sierra de Tramuntana, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2011. There you will find traditional towns surrounded by citrus orchards, such as Soller which is home to four museums.
Other places that you must visit are the Royal charterhouse of Valldemossa, an old royal residence in the west of Majorca, the Monastery of Lluc, an important centre of pilgrimage located in the north, the Capdepera Castle, in the northeast of the island and built on an old Moorish village; the walled city of Alcúdia, Pollença and the remains of the ancient Roman settlement of Pollentia, the caves of Drach and Artà, the magnificent beaches at Cala d’Or, Portocolom (or Porto Colom) and Cales de Majorca, where we also have offices.
