Top 10 Walking Tours in Balearic Islands, Balearic Islands

February 5, 2022 Osvaldo Hartline

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.

It was a perfect experience, it is very challenging but the view is so amazing. Juan is very kind, helpful and professional. The other company had to cancel our trip at the last minute, so we asked Juan to organise another trip for us. We have 2 trips with him during our stay in Mallorca, both of the experiences are great. We had a very great time, definitely recommend it.

All this together with the mythology of the constellations and the stories of the Menorca sky.

We were able to enjoy and know the map of the sky of Menorca, the stories that emerged from the constellations at different times, as well as anecdotes and more technical knowledge about the stars. From the first second we enter a path to a cornered place, which promises to be magical, to the last observation through the telescope, everything becomes a unique experience. We leave a little wiser, but motivated to know more, and eager to repeat, and greatful for a good and sincere treatment.
