Alcudia Beach

Alcudia Beach

A family favourite, Alcudia's beach is located on the North coast of Majorca. It boasts the largest beach in Majorca, stretching out over 7KM and is perfect for all swimmers, as the water gets gently deeper. Alcudia beach is actually 4KM and joins Playa de Muro beach which is a further 3KM. You can't tell where one stops and the other starts to be honest.

Coves del Drac - near Porto Cristo Majorca

Coves del Drac - near Porto Cristo Majorca

The Coves del Drac (The Dragon Caves) are located about half a mile out of Portocristo and are well worth a visit. They have been known for about 3000 years and in 1339 the Governor of Majorca sent men down into the blackness of the caves - their mission was to locate the missing treasure of the Knights Templar which was said to have been secreted down in the caverns of the Coves del Drac after vanishing when the Order was suppressed. It is not actually known if they were successful in finding anything however.

Felanitx - A little history

Felanitx - A little history

As well as the twice weekly market, Felanitx is also a town of historic interest. The imposing church of San Miguel has it's main entrance at the head of a long flight of white stone steps which take some climbing on a hot day! The building was also the scene of tragedy, when on Palm Sunday 1844, one of the walls of the church collapsed on top of the traditional procession. Out of the 600 people that were buried, 414 were killed and there is a plaque on one of the walls within the church in their memory.

Palma Nova

Palma Nova

Palma Nova is situated approximately 14KM from Palma de Majorca and sits adjacent to the hugely popular Magaluf. The two resorts are almost indistinguishable from one another, although Palma Nova is known to have a younger family orientated atmosphere through the day in peak season. However, don't expect a peacefully quite holiday here. Palma Nova is famous for round the clock party antics invariably fuelled by cheap alcohol from the many bars and clubs in the resort.

Magaluf Water Parks

Magaluf Water Parks

Magaluf sports two water parks, Aqualand and the newer Western Park. They are situated next to each other, about 1KM from the south end of Magaluf beach. Whilst it can prove quite expensive for a family, both parks offer a great day out and will keep the whole family entertained for the entire day. You'll be in and out of the water all day, so make sure you keep your sun protection lotion topped up!

Magaluf

Magaluf

Located in the municipality of Calvia, Magaluf is one of Majorca's big resorts, if not the biggest. The resort of Palma Nova is right next door and it's difficult to tell where one stops and the other starts.Tourists are mainly from the UK with small pockets of other European's to be found, mainly Irish, German and Swedish.
