Top Things to do in Balearic Islands
Top 10 Castles in Balearic Islands, Balearic Islands
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.

Make sure you park on the way up, no need to go all the way to the restaurant. The walk is for prepared walkers or allow a lot of time, its a steady climb up the mountain with plenty of places to rest, when you eventually make it to the top there is bar, small cafe up there and when you see the views you will see it was all worthwhile, just avoid the restaurant on the way down, not what it used to be at all but the mountain, the castle, YES and the views WOW!

We decided to do the hike at around 11am or so, which at the time, sounded like a really stupid idea because of the sun, but we were pleased to find that the path had a good balance of shade and sun and the peak treated us to some great views and a refreshing breeze. I’m not sure how crowded this normally gets, but considering Menorca’s beaches are far more popular that a hike up a hill in the middle of the day, we were the only ones on the site which was absolutely fabulous. The actual castle is in ruins since it was destroyed, but there’s still a lot to take in and explore. The Roman path was also a great surprise and a truly marvelous feat for the people at the time. On the way up, you walk past the remains of a chapel dedicated to Saint Agatha and an old car. I’d love to know the story behind this car. Either way, great hike and relatively easy for everyone, even children to do, even though some parts of the path seem to be loose rock and dust.

A royal palace has stood on this site since soon after the Arab conquest.

I visited Palma at the end of February and between being a weekend, Carnival, crazy hours or simply not available many attractions were closed. This one was not closed and it has good long hours regardless of the day of the week or the season. For me, based on availability and content, this was the best the see in Palma. Other places, like the Cathedral is has short hours allowed for visiting or others like the Arab Baths are overrated. Make this your priority, it makes sense, it is beautiful inside-out!

Our guide, Fernando Serrano, was the most knowledgeable and engaging we have ever had. We were totally fascinated from start to finish. A wealth of interesting information about the history of the attraction and if this the sort of place you like to visit or are interested in the history of Menorca then this is a "must see" location. We were enthralled with the wealth of information provided with Fernando switching perfectly between two languages throughout. Enormously interesting. Whilst there is very little above ground of the castle, underground provides that wow factor. In time more history will be revealed as the castle's history comes to the fore through further restoration. Brilliant. This tour was the highlight of our recent stay in Menorca.
