MALLORCA

Mallorca's mild climate and lovely beaches have made it a popular tourist destination. The hub of Palma city is the old-fashioned Passeig des Born, whose cafes invite you to try one of Mallorca's specialities, the ensaimada, a spiral pastry dusted with icing sugar. Visit the Gothic cathedral and the nearby Palau de l'Almudaina, a once-royal Moorish palace which now houses a museum. To the south of the cathedral is the Banys Arabs, the 10th century baths with well-preserved Moorish arches. About 2.5km from the city centre, standing 113m above sea level is Palma's Gothic castle - the Castell de Bellver. It was commissioned by Jaime II during the short-lived Kingdom of Mallorca (1276-1349) as a summer residence, but soon after became a prison and remained as such until 1915.

Land of Contrasts

Appropriately called the 'Bull's Hide' by Roman geographer Strabo in 29-27BC, the landmass of Spain with its 505,000 sq. km, provides the traveller with an opportunity to experience the great diversity within its borders, bounded by sea, except for Portugal to the west and France to the north-east.

Iberia has charmed travellers for centuries, but it was not until the early19th century that the first romantics brought Spain into world recognition. Richard Ford along with many others of his time, describing the country as a 'land of miracles, anomalies and contradictions'.

Spain today embodies all of the contrasts of yesteryear. With its rich and varied culture and language, Spain's 17 autonomous regions offer many unexpected architectural, geographical, cultural, gastronomic and climatic differences; all contributing to the many delights and pleasures of the visitor.

Once Spain was one of the most powerful nations on earth with far flung dominions wielding great influence on world political and commercial affairs. The Spain of today is an energetic member of the European Community with a population of 45 million and a universally appreciated culture, individuality and language.
