Holidays in Majorca - The perfect holiday destination

Majorca is one of the most sought after tourist destinations when it comes to enjoying holidays abroad. The word Majorca means 'larger island', and yes, it truly is the biggest island in Spain and is situated in Mediterranean Sea. It was in the year 1952 when this island first started attracting tourists commercially, and since then, has worked its way up to become one of the most popular tourist destinations for vacationing. Majorca also has two mountainous regions which are 70 km in length and have mostly covered up the north-western side of the island.
