Balearic Islands guide to the Balearic Islands

The Balearic Islands, an autonomous division of Spain, are one of the most popular holiday destinations in all of Europe. The well-known island of Mallorca is the largest in the Balearic Island group.

The Balearic Islands consist of three main islands Mallorca, Menorca and Ibiza and the smaller Formentera

The islands enjoy a warm Mediterranean climate, with many sunny days per year. High temperatures are moderate due to the cooling influence of the sea, and winters are mild and dry.

There are more passengers at the airport of Palma de Mallorca than at the airport of any other Spanish city. Hardly anybody who has spent holidays in Mallorca didn't wish to return. Each of the islands has a strong personality all of its own, and each of them offers much more than a holiday at the beach

Their excellent climate, beaches and natural beauty attracts visitors from around the world making tourism a mainstay of the economy; agriculture and fishing are the chief economic activities, while limited quantities of coal, iron, and slate are mined. Exports include oranges, figs and other fruits, olive oil, wine, brandy, majolica ware, leather goods, and silver filigree. Both Castilian and Catalan are spoken.
