Mallorca is much more extensive and has many more lively villages and towns than you might think. Mallorca also has an imposing, beautiful mountain range where you can enjoy hiking.
The imposing Serra de Tramuntana is a mountain range of almost 90 kilometers long on the northwest coast of Mallorca. Since 2011, the mountain range has been on the UNESCO World Heritage list due to its great landscape and cultural significance.
Beaches
If you are looking for beautiful sandy beaches, Mallorca is definitely the best choice. The beaches are child-friendly, full of good restaurants and chiringuitos where you can eat delicious fresh fish. In general, you pay a lot less for a meal in a restaurant than at home.
Tip from La Taha: Paella at Can Gavella. This charming place exudes the authentic flair of Mallorca and has been a culinary highlight for locals and visitors alike for four decades.
Cycling
Mallorca is also a very popular island among cyclists. The alternation between plains and mountains and many facilities for cyclists makes it a popular destination.
Tip from La Taha: From the seaside resort of Pollenca it is a must to take the classic tour to the eastern tip of Mallorca to the Formentor peninsula. A beautiful, hilly ride with a climb of 1,000 meters along the coast, over mountains and through a varied landscape. At the top, your effort will be rewarded with a breathtaking view of the famous lighthouse, the beautiful capes and the raging sea below you.
Cathedral
Mallorca is undoubtedly an island with many cultural highlights. Palma has beautiful museums and the cathedral is an absolute must when visiting the island’s capital. The cathedral is built in a three-aisled construction with a 19 meter wide and 44 meter high nave, the vault of which is supported by 14 columns. A true feast for the eyes.
