Cultural Landscape of the Tramuntana Mountains (Mallorca)
The Balearic Islands are a dream archipelago in the heart of the Mediterranean, where each island has a different soul. Mallorca, the largest, is a miniature continent that combines the majesty of the Tramuntana Mountains with family-friendly beaches and a capital, Palma, full of life and history. Menorca, the Biosphere Reserve, is a haven of peace with virgin coves and a protected rural landscape. Ibiza is the world epicenter of electronic music and nightlife, but it also hides charming towns and a bohemian interior. And Formentera, the little sister, is Europe's Caribbean paradise, accessible only by sea, with white sand beaches and unreal blue waters. The Balearic Islands are a destination of contrasts, where you can find everything from the most exclusive party to the most absolute silence.

Aviso de Viaje
During the summer, it is essential to book accommodation, rental cars and even restaurants well in advance, especially in Ibiza and Formentera. The roads in the Sierra de Tramuntana are narrow and with many curves, drive with caution. In Ibiza, the cost of tickets to clubs and drinks can be very high. Find out before. An 'Ecotasa' or sustainable tourism tax is applied per night and person in the accommodation.
