GENERAL INFO
Mallorca
is the largest of the Balearic Islands with 554 km of coastline.
Mallorca's landscape is very varied, due to it's geological
formation.
The first thing which attracts your attention is the
Tramuntana Mountain range, formed by a line of mountains
running parallel to the north west coast, the highest of
which is Puig Major. The mountains give way to a coastline
of tiny villages, sand, pebble and rock beaches.
Each in turn surrounded by the imposing mountain range.
The mountains are the source ofthe island's fresh water
which courses down to the islands growing regions where
orange, clementine and lemon trees grow. There are also
long hillside terraces side by side with the olives and
sweet wine producing grapes of the island.
Mallorca is surrounded by the beautiful Mediterranean
sea, it's heaven for boatsmen as there are hundreds of little
bays within easy cruising distance.
