How do we save on hotels to 25%?

Bonus for rent apartments 2100 rubles

Son is growing, and we continue to travel together. Since we prefer to relax at sea in early May and / or at the end of September, the choice of places that meet the following conditions:
a. Europe
b. fly no more than 4 hours
c. the sea is warm enough to swim with the child
d. Availability in the district of interesting places for a child and parents
not very large - Cyprus, Spain in the area of \u200b\u200bValencia-Alicante, Bolear Islands.
At first, they tried, as usual, to organize everything on their own, but after a number of reflections came to the conclusion to give the issue of recreation organization to travel agency.
The question remained with the direction:
- Cyprus, with all his advantages, already avented (they were well rested in the past May and the wife and his son were overwhelmed there.
- Recreation options on Costa Blanca were not very budget
As a result, he stopped the choice in Mallorca and the Iberostar Club Cala Barca. Mostly the choice was made on the basis of a large number of positive feedback on TripAdviser.com and a relatively low price. The location of the hotel on the territory of the pine forest also bribed. Natali-Tours company performed the touroperator. Chartered flight Transaero is performed.

Road
Domodedovo Airport, as always, pleased with the "thoughtful" zone of the disembarkation of passengers and reigning there turmoil and confusion. After the terrorist attack began to inspect all the air-building building, in addition, kennels with dogs are constantly walking. At the entrance, the guards are the size of a good fridge and the whole look show that they have everything under control.
During registration it turned out that the stroller to take into baggage, as with the flight to Rhodes, the same transaero, it is not necessary, which we are extremely delighted. Flight, lasting almost 5 hours passed quite quickly. Aircraft in Transaero, of course, no longer new, and the degree of benevolence and correctness of communication of flight attendants leaves much better. Still, despite all the comments and claims to Aeroflot, they are still very better than S7 and Transaero.
The first thing struck me on Mallorca is the size of the airport. In the arrival hall, only lunts of luggage issuing under 20 pieces (especially in comparison with DMO, where they are 4 or 5).
Since the hotel is located on the severity and to civilization you need to get either by bus, or by taxi, or on a rented car, we decided to take the car at once at the airport and not use the airport airport operator transfers.
After studying the proposals of rolling offices, koi Million in Mallorca, the choice was stopped at Recordgo.com (their contacts in the photo :)

On the Internet renowned Renault Scenic for all 15 days. The fact of Scenic did not turn out, and the choice of new diesel peugeout partner or Ford C-Max was proposed with a mileage of 7,000 km, of course, the choice fell on Ford. Also in place it turned out that when leaseing for more than 4 days, the office needs to buy a fuel tank (that is, you get a car with a full tank, but you can take and you need to be left with empty, as you will not return money). Overpayment was not particularly big, and it turned out to be written in small font in confirmation of the armor, so I was not particularly upset. Total for 15 days was paid 350 euros (auto + gasoline tank + children's chair). All rolling machines in Europe are insured, and in case of problems, you only get on a franchise, which for this class of cars in RecordGo is 300 euros. Additional insurance was proposed, in order to eliminate the franchise and turn on the headlight / glass / bottom and other windows. But, in view of the fact that the cost of her about 10 euros per day, I did not see her meaning to buy it.
Having accepted the car and setting an extremely cheap look of the child seat (for some reason, the high-quality seats in the rental never met) moved towards the hotel. The hotel is approximately 55-60 km from the airport, a third of this distance is the motorway. The rest is a two-way road of excellent quality. At the end of the route, the navigator decided to cut the path and led us with narrow local tracks, the width of which does not allow in most places to be dispersed with two cars. On the island there are a lot of such roads and they are extremely picturesque.

The road to the hotel took about an hour of time.

Hotel.
Registered, got acquainted with the deputy. Bulgarian Ignat Ignatov - Extremely friendly and trying to help comrade. There are three Russian girls at the reception, one of which is always in shift. In addition, the hotel always has a Natalie-Tours Guide - it can be found either at the reception, or in one of the "Russian" buildings.
They got the key and we showed a direction where to go. The hotel is a large number of buildings located along the road. Tourists pick up on the basis of nationality and depending on the operator. Russian buildings are 500 meters from restaurants, swimming pools, reception and other entertainment. On the one hand, such a distance for someone may be a minus, but, on the other, there is a pool in Russian reservation, its children's animation, a snack bar and there is very quieter and calmer than in the main buildings in which Europeans will be selected (possibly Because the occupancy rate of the hulls was 15% percent)
Repair in the rooms "Russian" corps does not pull on 4 *, as the hotel positions itself, they look poorly. But clean, because they are removed every day. The room has a fridge and stove, but there are no dishes.
The hotel has options for Half-Board and All-incl. The overwhelming majority of Europeans and our compatriots choose the last option. We drove on the Half-Board, because they did not plan to stay at the hotel during the lunch. In the event that you ordered a half board trip and then changed my mind, then you can pay 18 euros per day from a person with a person and turn everything on the bracelet with everything in order to drink and eat unlimited.
Despite the beginning of the season, the European part of the hotel was hammered by interest interests for 80-90, nevertheless, some inconvenience can only be felt in the restaurant, when you can not find the free table in the hall with a host 700 people.
The hotel is a hell for Childfries, because 80% of holidaymakers are resting there with children, most with two and three.
The hotel has a large playground, there is an animation in different languages \u200b\u200b(including animators Natalie Tours), there are children's clubs for both the smallest and older children, slot machines and children's attractions. Every evening children for children minidiscotek with clowns. A 5-minute walk from the hotel - Rancho, where you can rent a pony, ride a wagon or just to lay on the horses.
Food is diverse, but, like any buffet, quite quickly bored. Many fruits and desserts. Unfortunately, there is no special children's food, according to observation, Europeans do not climb and immediately after bottles with a mixture, they are moving to Fries and Phanto potatoes. For breakfast, our children ate the porridge brought with him, for dinner fed the most neutral dishes from those affordable.
The hotel is located on the territory of the Mondrago National Park and on the territory is very beautiful.

Sykeling, aquaaerobics, etc., and so on, to drive the consequences of the All-inclusive.

There is a small supermarket, shops with small and souvenirs.
If you are going with children for two weeks, then most likely washing, not avoiding - the question is solved for the sane 3 euros for washing, which you need to buy a token in the supermarket to turn on the washing machine. The minimaries are near the main building and near the Russian part.

In case you still want to go to see the surroundings, you can do it either by bus on such rates:

Either by taxi, or taking the car rental. Rental at the hotel offers new Citroen C4 to 40-45 euros per day.
With the beach in the hotel, everything is not very good. There are many people, and the beach is small and not equipped (but clean, except for algae). Therefore, it is better to go to the beaches, located 10 minutes walk through the forest. The path is good, but with a carriage to go a problem. Alternatively, you can take by bus for the amount, about 1.5 euros. On the beach there is a rental of sun beds, cafes, shower.

Middle to the hotel beach (but no longer on the territory):

Beach is 10 minutes from the hotel:

Nature
From those islands where I was (Crete, Tenerife, Cyprus) Mallorca seemed the most green and pleasing eye. Pines, sea, rocks and white sand Very beautiful combination. The beaches are an endless amount of both landscaped and wild. There is a feeling that even in the peak of the season you can find a beacher, where there will be no one except you. Further photo:

Entertainment for children.
The hotel has children's animation (including in Russian). Equipped playground.
Next to the hotel there is a ranch where you can take a pony for hire (something in the district of 5 euros for half an hour) give you a reason and you are walking yourself. The ranch works by Belorus, which native language Explain how to behave with pony.

You can also ride the cart.

From the places that seemed interesting for the 2-year-old child visited:

Marineland Park.
Give the views of quotes, dolphins and parrots, in addition on the territory of a small zoo and a water park for children.

Zoo Safarizoo. - Excellent zoo and semblance of auto safari. It is a winding road of a kilometer three long, on which you are traveling on your car and watching different animals who graze without avoices. Deer, gazelles, buffaloes, zebras, hippos, monkeys and everyone can be seen from the car window. Monkeys behave particularly brazenly - with the entrance to their territory, two or three individuals jerks on the car, sit down on the mirrors and begin to sharpen the treats. In truth, I said goodbye to a 300 euro franchise for a broken mirror, since under a kilogram of a kilogram in 15 it became threatening to crack and tear into the unknown side to Earth J. But, in general, the mirror remained kid, and the monkeys did not leave scratches on Auto. So, entertainment can be considered relatively safe.
At the end of the safari part come to an ordinary zoo, where in the avols you can find flafs, elephants, tigers, monkeys and other bells. There is a children's mini-headark where you can go to the children and look / touch the goats, geese and similar homemade livestock. The remainder of the Forces, children can spend on a pair of playgrounds. One of them has a somewhat unusual slide.

Aquarium in palm
A very worthy aquarium consists of an exposure in the room and in the courtyard, where there are several reservoirs with fish and sharks, as well as the immutation of the jungle.

Entertainment for parents
Unfortunately, the opportunity to go far our child does not give (his maximum in the car is 1 hour). Therefore, I went southern coast.
Cala Figeira is a small town with a beautiful bay.

CALA "D" OR - Typically tourist town. With a standard set of entertainment in the form of a mass of small benches, cafes and bars. The beach is small and with the crowd of the people. There is a surf station where you can take a wire surf for a hire or undergo a course.

Colonia St Jourdi - Resort town with excellent beach. Another surf station.
City administration, apparently, very greedy, because There was no place for free parking lots at all. Everywhere or prohibited parking, or she is paid. Next to the parking mats, Tenka is immediately prescribed a penalty for overdue parking coupons.

Porto Colom - Big harbor and many boats, pleasantly go through the embankment.

Porto Petro. - The city itself passed by, nothing particularly noticed. It is worth going for the sake of the cave of the dragon and the Zoo Safari Zoo.

Dragon Cave - Pretty promoted tourist attraction, but worth the visit - the inner decoration of the cave and the scale of the halls are impressive. Classical music concert, passing on the underground lake and the final inspection, is also quite.
Unfortunately, inside it is forbidden to take pictures, so there is no photo.

Santanyi. - cozy town. (Closest after Porto Petro to the hotel city) with good restaurants on the square.

Very beautiful city!

Save parking:

Of all the attractions visited only Baler Castle.

They wandered through the streets, filed ice cream, played on the local playground.
One of the directions of street creativity is blowing bubbles. With the help of unacceptable fixtures, bubblers entertain a child and earn euro-other. They are just gigantic bubbles.

From the point of view of shopping, you can advise the PORTO PI shopping center at the end of the port, when leaving the highway towards Antratx. In principle, the set of shops is not very different from Moscow, but the Spanish brands of clothing interest is 40 cheaper. In the center there are many children's attractions, so reserve coins by euros.
Also advertised Outlet Festival Park. Nothing interesting, the price is higher than in the city, there are few shops, the only plus - it works on Sunday, which is extreme rarity in Spain, where shops on Sunday look like this:

Sollier
The only city of the northern coast, where were able to get there to Sollier. Traveling on the old (1929 release) train, in good weather, judging by the reports, it looks much more pretty. But since it was not necessary to choose (the weather all the second half of the stay on the island was cloudy), they drove into the rain. Unfortunately, I could not get any vivid impressions. Sollier cute townBut no more.

Restaurant Grill.
We drove into this restaurant on the recommendation of acquaintances - a great place to relax after the beach, eat meat-fish-seafood grill. In the courtyard, a beautiful garden where you can walk while the owner will prepare for you order. Restaurant is near good beach ES TENC. In general, I recommend:

Additional Information:
Parking in cities stands, on average, 1.8 euros per hour, in Siesita (14.30-16.30) Parking is most often free, in the palm there are many underground parking lots, about the same tariff. If you are not very strongly crushed the paid time, you will join the janitor with a small fine (Euro 3-4), which can be paid in the same park. In the PORTOPI shopping center, there are two hours for free, then about 2.4 euros.

The Internet.
The Internet can be caught in the form of WiFi in some cafes / restaurants, and you can buy a local SIM card in order to use a decent 3G from Vodafone. The pleasure will cost approximately 20 euros per week (if you have your own modem. How much offers Vodafone devices, unfortunately, do not know)
http://www.vodafone.es/particulares/es/internet-y-tv/internet-movil/internet-movil-prpago/tarifas/

Products.
Product prices are approximately the same as in Moscow. With the exception of wine, cheese and hamon. All this costs natural pennies with excellent quality. Spanish wines are sold at 3-4 euros per bottle, for 6-8 it is considered very decent.

In general, Mallorca left the most pleasant impressions and the desire to return. What we will definitely do.

Mallorca is one of the largest islands that are part of Spain located on the Balearic Archipelago in the middle Mediterranean Sea. I believe that this is a truly paradise where you can enjoy picturesque landscapes, clean beaches and forget about all everyday problems.

This small island, whose area is only 3.5 thousand square kilometers, is slightly different from the resorts of Spain, and all because in all her long history he managed to visit the Phoenicians, Romans, and of course Arabs. Therefore, the culture is really very rich here!

Acquaintance with that wonderful island I started from his capital - Palma de Mallorca. It was here that all its main sights focused.

I barely coming out of the airport, I was amazed by a long palm avenue, which led the traveled tourists to the parking lot. Palm trees there are truly magnificent, size with three-storey houses! We look and do not believe your eyes that only 4 hours ago you were in a gray rainy city, and now it was among such beauty!

And when you enter directly at the very capital, then your eyes begin to scatter. You look to the left - the sea color of turquoise, you watch the right - the majestic cathedral, and right in front of you - high mountains.

Here I want to take a picture of absolutely everything, so I advise you to free up the memory on the phone, the tablet and the camera in advance, because you will constantly have a desire to capture this or that place!

How to get

You can get to Mallorca with two types of transport: air and water.

Of course, the most commonly used and comfortable option is air. In the capital of Palma Island, there is an international airport, from where every half an hour will fly out and where the liners of various European airlines are as often landed.

As for the water service, there is the main port of the island in Palma, where the vessel is located daily from various parts of Spain, which is very convenient for tourists who rest at the mainland, for example, in Barcelona or Valencia, and on the weekend they are sent for an excursion to Palm tree.

By the island itself you can move on a bus, car or train.

Plane

The main and only island airport that is called title Son San Joan. , It is located 8 kilometers from the capital of Palma de Mallorca. It is here that there are both external and domestic flights. The airport has a very well established connection with various European countries, including Russia.

Flights from Moscow

Direct flights from Moscow (Domodedovo Airport) airport are flying to Mallorca: S7 Airlines, the average price of the ticket back is 20 thousand rubles. In addition, the island can fly with one or more transfers, which is carried out by the Spanish airline Iberia also from Domodedovo Airport for the same price (about 20 thousand rubles). It is worth noting that there are some more European airlines that carry into palm trees with transfers, for example:

• Finnair;
• Lufthansa;
• SWISS;
• CZECH AIRLINES;

But then the time in flight will be more than 20 hours, which is completely inconvenient and not worth their money. Therefore, I advise you to choose a direct flight!

IN this case Time on the way will be only 4.5 hours, so I recommend not to save on tickets and not spend the whole day for infinite transplants.

Compare prices can, for example,.

How to get from the airport to the city

You can get from the airport to the city center both by bus and taxi.

Of course, a more economical option is a bus. It constantly runs routes No. 1 and №17, which will take you to Palma for only 3 €. If you need to the resort city of Arenal, then right before its center, the bus number 21 leaves.

But the taxi will cost much more expensive - the average cost of the trip will be 20 €, and if you drive a group, you can order a minivan for 40 €.

In addition, you can rent a car directly at the airport, there is a wide range of car rental companies (Hertz, Avis, Europcar). The average rental price begins from 50 € per day. Details below.

Ferry

So, the second way to get to Mallorca is to sail from another part of Spain on the ferry or on a speed catamaran. The last daily go to the island directly from:

• Barcelona (4.5 hours drive),
• Valencia (4-6 hours drive),
• Menorca (2.5 hours drive),
• Ibiza (3 hours drive)

The average cost of the ticket is 40 € and depends on the features of the vessel.

How to get from the port to the center

The port of Palma de Mallorca is located 6 kilometers from the city center, if desired and good physical preparation, from there, you can walk along the embankment, enjoying beautiful views and a light breeze, or reached by bus number 1 for just 1.5 €.

Bus stop is near the port. Of course, you can catch a taxi and get to the Cathedral (the trip will cost 10 €).

When the season. When it is better to go

According to local residents, the island of Mallorca is revealed before tourists in all its glory in the late spring and continues to delight the eyes until the middle of the autumn. This is the best period for rest!

As for the winter, the Spaniards believe that this time Their life becomes very calm, quiet and even a bit boring. Although the weather in the winter is favorable here (about +14 ° C), but it is not enough to do. Because already on the beach do not lie, do not swim, and you will not enjoy seasonal fruits and vegetables. Therefore, to go to Mallorca to the low season (that is, from November to March) is not worth it. The only tourists on the island at this time are employees of companies that are arranged here with business meetings, trainings or business trips.

Mallorca in the summer

Like all resorts, Mallorca Island is especially beautiful in the summer. It was at this time of the year the temperature of the air and water reaches the maximum mark and everywhere there are all the most beautiful flowers and shrubs of the island. By the way, it was in Mallorca that I noticed a very large number of those churriculous evergreen plants, and it cannot but rejoice!

Of course, summer (especially July) is also vacation time, so there are many tourists here, actually, as elsewhere. But since Mallorca is still the island and rest on it is not cheap, the wealthy Europeans are most likely to come here and most often those for 35, or young families with children. It is believed that in Mallorca, the rest is quite calm and the pace of life is measured, so all the youth, which prefers night clubs evening walks on the boat, goes to the next island, Ibiza. But it cannot be said that Mallorca is a deaf place suitable only for pensioners: here you can also have fun and actively relax. But the most important treasure of the island is an incredible beauty of nature! Landscapes like here, you will not see anywhere!

By the way, the climate is very pleasant here, in summer the air temperature reaches the mark of the order of +30 ° C, and in the winter - +15 ° C. But unfortunately, in the winter in Mallorca there is nothing to do. Locals say that at this time of the year they are calm. In essence, the island inhabit about a million people, so during when all tourists travel around at home, the island becomes empty and almost deserted. Residents are quietly engaged in their everyday affairs, and nothing special happens here. Therefore, in winter I do not advise here, although if you are tired of urban bustle and noise, then here you can just be alone with you and nature. No wonder here is the residence of the Spanish Royal Family! And in Majorca bought villas such celebrities like Claudia Schiffer, Michael Douglas and Gwyneth Paltrow. Once Majorca pleased the attractive taste of the first magnitude, then you will like it!

Mallorca in autumn

The beginning of autumn in Mallorca is considered a velvet season, so until the end of September you can have time to enjoy the bright sun and the warm sea. But since October, the Sun enters at 7 o'clock in the evening, and it becomes noticeably colder, the temperature reaches + 7-8 ° C.

Back from the end of October, early November, rains and thunderstorms are rapid on the island. Therefore, at this time, it's no longer worth resting in Mallorca.

Mallorca Spring

In the spring, a high season is gradually beginning in Mallorca, already in March - April, the air temperature reaches + 20-23 ° C, the warm pleasant sun shines, and flowers begin to bloom. At this time, it is still impossible to swim, but you can already take sunbathing.

Spring island is good because tourists are still small here, and you can spend a quiet relaxing holiday.

Mallorca Winter

Winter in Mallorca is the time of complete silence and serenity. The sun shines quite often, and the snow falls only in the mountains, it reaches it extremely rare. December is considered a month of rain, but January and February are distinguished by pleasant comfortable weather. The average temperature during the day reaches + 14-15 ° C.

The only reservation is very bored here, and this is a favorite season for recreation from pensioners.

What are the prices for rest

As I have already mentioned earlier, rest on the island of Mallorca can be attributed to the class of suite, and therefore here you will find hundreds of rental villas and apartments, the price of which begins from 1.5 thousand € per 10 days.

In principle, if you compare this price with hotels, then the difference will be insignificant. For the same 10 nights in a 3-star hotel in any area of \u200b\u200bthe island, you will give an average of about 1.7 thousand €, and in a 5-star - about 4 €.

If we consider that in your apartment you will prepare yourself, and in hotels, use the "All Included" service, then the costs will be approximately the same.

Therefore, you decide that it is more convenient, but personally I lived in a good 3-star hotel, where in addition to nutrition on the "All Inclusive" system there is a free gym, a bar, a pool and, of course, thematic parties!

Top 5 best hotels in the island

I want to present you my top 5 best hotels in the island:

• Globales SIMAR 4 * (from 1.7 thousand € per 10 days for two).
• Barcelo Ponent Playa 3 * (from 1.3 thousand € per 10 days for two).
• Globales Palmanova 4 * (from 2.1 thousand € per 10 days for two).
• Insotel Cala Mandia Resort. & SPA 4 * (from 4.2 thousand € 10 days for two).
• Blue Bay Hotel 3 * (from 1.2 thousand € per 10 days for two).

It is possible to navigate at prices for ready-made tours (with flight, transfer, accommodation and insurance) in hotels in different categories in the Travevsk section.

Costs

So, if you decide to stay at the hotel, then there will be no problems with food, and if you decide to rent apartments or villa, then you have the option to be purchased in supermarkets, which are quite a lot on the island. One of the most popular, often falling to me - Eroski. This is a common supermarket chain in Spain in Spain, in which you can buy everything, starting with bread and ending with the cream for hands in the middle Spanish prices.

If you buy products for a week, the average check will be about 60 €. You can also visit the restaurants and cafes, which will be quite expensive, considering that the average account will be 50-60 €.

On the excursions you can ride both yourself and with a guide. Mallorca - the island is small, from Palm to Alcuia can be reached in just one hour and a half, that is, to travel around the whole island along and across one day will not be difficult.

You can rent a car for 50-70 € per day and go to explore the island yourself, and you can move by bus just 6 €. A group excursion with a guide on its own rented bus will cost approximately 100 €. The trip on the Taxi island will cost about 80-90 €.

Main attractions. What to see

Mallorca is famous for its diversity of attractions and incredibly beautiful places, mandatory for visiting.

If you like to learn all the smallest details and interesting facts about certain attractions, you can hire a guide or order a full-fledged excursion. And if you like it, independently walk in beautiful places and independently discover something new, you can inspect everything yourself.

Choose a day for an excursion stands in advance, it is desirable to allocate one of the weekdays (except Friday), because Siesta and holiday starts at the weekend, and there are too many people on the streets who will interfere with everything to consider you. In Mallorca, poor weather is extremely rare, so it's not necessary to fear rain and cold, but before walking the forecast you can still see, just in case.

The capital of the island of Palma is not distinguished by a large area, so you can walk around the city and inspect the main attractions.

The map below shows the main tourist destinations, museums, galleries, bus stops and much more.

I bring to your attention my version of one day in the capital of the Palma Island, I advise you to move on the Citysightseeing tourist bus (ticket 18.5 €):

• 10:00 - We are going to the castle of Baler, which is located in a pair of kilometers from the city. Here we will spend about 2 hours.
• 12:00 - keep the way to the Spanish village.
• 13:30 - Let us dwell at the Sadrassana Restaurant Cocteleria (Placa Drassana, 15).
• 15:00 - Go to the Cathedral. Since this place is considered the main attraction of the city, we will spend about 2 hours here.
• 17:00 - Let's go to the main tourist streets of Palma and walk, let's go to Rivareno ice cream (Plaza llotja, 1) and enjoy the most delicious cold dessert of the island.
• 20:00 - We have seafood in the restaurant La Parada Del Mar (Avenida Joan Miro 244 Marivent) and make the completion of a great day with a glass of Sangria.

In fact, here on which beach do not come - it will definitely be quiet, cozy and clean. Even not far from the palm trees in the resort areas where thousands of tourists are resting, they are very worthy! But the best places in order to soak up the sun and enjoy a bathing in transparent sea water - secluded bays, which are a lot in Mallorca.

As I wrote above, I rested in the area of \u200b\u200bCala Major, a few kilometers from the capital, and one day it was completely accidentally wandered into a cove, where there was a small beach, and the sea was crystal clear there! There were not very many vacationers there, mostly local and the same tourists as I, who, most likely, also accidentally found this paradise.

And yet I will give a list of the best of the best beaches of Majorca, which should be visited at least in order to understand what paradise is on Earth.

Cala s Beach "Almunia

Museum of Ceramics

In the northeast, near the palm, the small town of Cabaine is located, it is he who is considered the center of ceramics. In 2002, a museum opened here, which presents about a thousand traditional samples of Majorca ceramics, which is worth looking.

Nearby Isles

If you are resting in Mallorca, I advise you to choose a day or a whole weekend and devote him to a trip to Ibiza.

From the main port of Palma to the port of Ibiza several times a day, ferries are departed by Balearia. The duration of the trip is approximately 3-4 hours, the average price of the ticket ranges from 50 to 70 euros per person. Also, from Mallorca to Ibiza, TRANSMEDITERRANEA ferries run, but should be taken into account that they only go in the summer on Sundays.

In Ibiza, you can take a walk in the same capital of the island and look at its protective walls, which were erected here in the Middle Ages. It is also worth visiting the Punicon Necropolis, and still be sure to visit picturesque bay Cala d'Hort.

Food. What to try

At first, you might think that there are no traditional dishes in Mallorca, and that they eat all the usual Spanish Gaspacho, Tapas and Tortyl. But as I was surprised when I learned that there is my own on this island national disheswho do not try on the continental part of the country.

Mayorkina soup

It is a broth with vegetables and pork and served with sliced \u200b\u200bbread slices.

The soup is insanely tasty and very satisfying, so he is so loved by local residents.

Tumbet

It consists of vegetables, namely: potatoes, eggplants and onions.

And also to add meat or fish to taste.

Meeting

Be sure to try it - it is a moderately acute sausage made of pork minced meat and bacon, very reminiscent of Chorizo \u200b\u200bpopular in Spain, since they are very similar to the cooking technology.

Ensaimada

And for dessert, do not forget to enjoy this delicious Majorkinsky puff pastry. He is rightfully considered the most favorite sweetness of local residents.

Ensaymad's dough Air, melting in the mouth, the cake itself is filled with whipped cream or gentle syrup, and from above is richly sprinkled with sugar powder.

Carnival San Rua

A special holiday in Mallorca is the carnival sa rua. Here it is held in winter, in the first half of February.

Majorca Day

This holiday is celebrated on September 12, he was adopted by King Hymime II back in 1276, when Majorca island freed from Muslims.

On this day, concerts and fairs are organized on the island.

Safety. What to beware is worth

Majorca Island seemed to me a very calm and safe place. Of course, you should not exclude pocket thefts that are widely distributed in Europe, but in general, walking in the evening along the palm and its surroundings are not terrible, because in the summer life is boiling here until the very late night.

In large stores and supermarkets, you are definitely not deceived, and in small souvenir shops, just in case you can recount your purchase amount and the surrender, although mostly it is not commonly distributed to openly at tourists.

Therefore, the Mallorca should not beware of something serious, but still basic simple safety rules should be observed.

Things to do

In Mallorca, there is a lot of entertainment, you can explore all the beaches of the island and do snorkeling, and you can plunge into its cultural life and visit the most important museums, temples and other historical sights of the island.

Mallorca - Recreation with children

Rest in Mallorca with children is a wonderful idea, because here you can really enjoy silence and peace, and the children will be impressed with picturesque landscapes and meetings with wild animals, which you can find in Natura Park on an ostrich farm or in nature reserves. For a trip with a child, pay attention to the south-west, northern or eastern part of the island - there are few noisy youth and parties in such places, so you can truly relax and gain strength.

Conditional areas. Descriptions and features

Major Island is divided into 7 main areas:

• metropolitan,
• central,
• northwestern,
• southern
• southwestern,
• southeastern,
• northeastern.

Metropolitan area

Located closer to the southwestern part of the island, it is here that the main attractions and the residence of the royal family are located. If you want to be in the center of all events, then you should settle here.

In the city itself, the crowds of tourists are walking enough, the day is very hot and stuffy, so I recommend renting an apartment or settle in the hotel, which is located a few kilometers from the palm tree. I lived in the vicinity of Cala Major Beach - this is a typical Spanish resort suburb, there are many hotels, cafes, shops, a large public beach and several museums. In general, the perfect place for those who love measured, but not too boring rest. The accommodation here will be more expensive than in other areas, since it is the capital, that is, the most important area of \u200b\u200bthe island.

Southwest

This Island Area is the most densely inhabited. Here are such major cities like Iletas, Portals, Santa Ponce, Piguer. It is best to come here with family and children, because in these places you can relax and enjoy calmness.

Something here is the large Golf ClubUdinat, so the area is considered very prestigious and not cheap.

Northwest

Along the shore in the shade of the trees, Townhouses and villas were settled, which, if desired, can be rented for the summer, and here you can observe beautiful mountain scenery. What is not a paradise place?

Northern District

This area is famous for its unforgettable views and purest beaches. It is here that the highest point of the island is located - Cape Formenitor, from which the magnificent view of the marine expanses offers. Housing in this place will be quite expensive due to the extraordinary beauty of nature and thanks to the neighborhood with "star" villas.

Large cities in the area: Alcudia and Poenas. Next to Putenasy is the port, from where you can go swimming around the island on the yacht.

Northeast Island

It is distinguished by its beauty and serenity. Settling here, you will forget about all the problems and urban bustle.

In this area, you will meet a large number of traditional rural houses and farms, as well as be able to communicate with friendly locals, and, perhaps, they will invite you to taste the oranges grown in your garden or their own cooked Hamon (dried pork).

Southeast

It is essentially very similar to the northeast, agricultural and seafling is also common here, so if you want to get acquainted with local life and enjoy fresh fruits, vegetables and seafood, and also immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the island, to get acquainted with his cultural and historical component, then this is a great option!

Southern Island

But it is famous for its long beaches, sports bars and noisy discos. The largest resort town is Arenal. It is here that there is the largest water park of the island, an amazing aquarium with sharks and skates, and many more bars. The place is considered to be quite budget for rest, so all young people live in this part, respectively, the prices for accommodation here do not bite compared with expenses in other areas.

If you love a bright, fun vacation, then you are here. And a little south is the longest beach of Island - Es Trenk. It is characterized by snow-white sand and sea of \u200b\u200blight blue shade.

central part

These are picturesque estates, almond gardens, pastures and olive fields. Another great place to relax to relax, while being just half an hour from Palm.

Here is the large city of Inca, which is famous for the whole world by the production of high-quality leather products, as well as the city of Blue, which is necessary to visit to look at the magnificent churches and the former royal PalaceAnd also go to the largest fair on the island, which is carried out in it on Wednesdays.
