Majorca is the largest island in the Balearic Islands archipelago in the Mediterranean. With its hot, dry summers, the Spanish island is a popular holiday destination, especially for tourists from Germany and the UK.  Whether you want to trek to a hilltop monastery, pedal through cobblestone villages, or enjoy the waves crashing on the beach, Majorca has plenty of options. Sightseers will want to check out the 14th century Bellver Castle, the Serra de Tramuntana mountain range that lines the northern coast, and the historic monastery and pilgrimage site Santuari de Lluc. La Palma, Majorca's medieval town, boasts breathtaking cathedrals and palaces along its quaint streets and squares.But Majorca is probably most well-known for its stunning beaches and blue water views. Beachgoers will want to carve out time to visit the popular Calla Agulla, Cala Mondragó, or Es Trenc.
