The largest island of the Balearic attracts a somewhat different crowd to its smaller sisters. Ibiza is happening and Menorca is remote. Mallorca is somewhere in between the two, providing the right balance for the more sophisticated type of traveller. Beautiful nature and romantic places to stay abound, yet its still offers sophistication in the way of interesting towns such as Palma de Mallorca.

This area has a rich gastronomic heritage based, unsurprisingly on the Mediterranean way of doing things. Soups are very popular here, particularly clear soups, which may be from fish, stew or meat stock. Fish and seafood based dishes are also very important, of course, given they are in plentiful supply and of great quality along the coast. La caldereta de langosta (a lobster dish) is the most outstanding.
Other typical dishes are rice with lobster and tuna with mayonnaise.
In Majorca is also produced a local vine.
