Most people know that Mallorca is the most popular tourist destination in Europe. It is also arguably the most beautiful island in the Mediterranean, largely because of its stunning variety of scenery, the warm hospitality of the islanders and the richness of its food and drink. There are two main resorts for people who are looking for only sun, sand and nightclubs, and then there is the rest of the island - carefully protected against over-development by the proud Mallorcans. The city of Palma is a fitting capital, not only of Mallorca, but also of the Balearic islands.
