Majorca (Mallorca), Spain (24-29 April 2011)


Balearic Islands (Majorca, Minorca, Ibiza and Formentera) are located in the Mediterranean off the east coast of Spain. Majorca is largest island and most touristic. It has mountainous terrain in the west and comparatively flat landscape towards east. The economy of the island is mostly run by tourism, although a lot of Olive, Orange and to some extent also grape farms can be seen all over the island. It attracts millions of tourists mainly from UK and Germany. No wonder a lot of the businesses are owned by the Germans and English- Colonization in twenty-first century!

This place was so beautiful that I didnt bother to take photographs. I couldnt resist crystal clear waters (shallow, little cold). I didn't visit the long coastline (10s of KMs) and jumped straight into the water that was nearest to our place. I also tried scuba diving for the first time (Group picture with our instructor below). It was an interesting experience altogether. I managed only 5-10 minutes of real diving eventually, that too near the coast!
