Top Things to do in Balearic Islands
7 Mountains in Balearic Islands That You Shouldn't Miss
The brightest stars of Los Baleares are Majorca, Ibiza and peaceful Minorca. Situated between France and Africa, the archipelago's islands each have distinct characters. Majorca is the most developed and offers a mass of hotels, fast food joints and crowded beaches. Ibiza is loved by a hard partying set, including many gay visitors. It is also increasingly popular with upscale travelers, drawn by the chameleon island's reputation as "the new Provence." Pick an island and stake a claim on its sand.

Majorka was for me very underestimate destination - I thought that this island is only for beach loafers. That was really big mistake! This was our second trip only on foot and I can recommend it to everyone who is not beginner and who has some experiences. We went from Sant Elm to Soller (+- 85 km), track was hard because of bad rainy weather, so it was dangerous - dry stones changed to wet and every step was like going on soap floor. There was no chance how to finished GR221, even bus from Lluc was stopped because of wheater. So we moved to San Picaford (eastern coast) and there we started GR 222, which is no less beautiful and wheater there was better (+- 55 km). People there are pleasant, nature very very beautiful, food excellent, accommodation very various in comfort and also prices, we tried everything from sleeping outside to 4* superb hotel - each way was magnificent. Thumbs up for Majorka :)

We travelled as a family to this place to see the views and were not disappointed. The views all around are worth seeing and there is plenty of parking at the top. One of Menorca's highlights.

A very clear path to the summit, steep in places but well worth the effort to experience the outstanding views from the top - breathtaking (literally!). A little rain at the summit (refreshing) followed by bright sunshine produced a stunning rainbow that arched over Alcudia, the peninsular ahead and the port below. Downside - loads of mosquitos that seemed to be immune to repellent. (We were told that this was an unually prolific mosquito season.) Tricky to find the start of the trail. Follow signposts to Cova (Cave) de Sant Marti from the Alcudia Resort area, then cross the main bypass road to the signposted start to the trail. Lots of less-familiar birds to spot - we saw a pair of colourful hoopoes.
