The sun, the tranquility of its coves, its transparent waters, its diversity, its balmy climate, and an endless succession of scenery that has everything except monotony, where every single corner has its own special charm. From the steep slopes of the high peaks of the Serra de Tramuntana in Mallorca, the wide variety of habitats in the S'Albufera des Grau Nature Reserve in Mahon, the delightful scenery of Ses Salines in Ibiza to the sandy havens of peace in Formentera, the Baleares are an inexhaustible source for all those who would like to instill its essence and drain it in a single draught.
Each island is a microcosm with its own individual personality, gifted with singular richness. This is why millions of holiday makers choose the Islands, year after year. Opinion polls do not lie when they show that those who visit the Baleares have every intention of making a return visit as soon as they possibly can.
The Islands have always been popular with numerous personalities from the political, social and cultural worlds. Such people as the Archduke Ludwig Salvatore of Austria, Chopin, J.B. Lawrence, Errol Flynn, Winston Churchill, Rubén Dario, Robert Graves and Joan Miró visited or resided in the Islands.
Located in an area enjoying an enviable climate with a communications infrastructure second to none, open to all cultures but, at the same time, jealously preserving their idiosyncrasies molded over centuries, the Baleares immediately win the hearts of their visitors. |
