This Fantastic Island within the serene region
of East Spanish mainland is a lover’s paradise, also known as Islas Baleares in Spanish. This stunning
island is an archipelago of Spain, at the coast of the western Mediterranean
Sea embracing the rustic charm and culture of the Iberian Peninsula.
The Balearic Islands comprise of the four principal
Balearic Islands – Ibiza, Formentera, Mallorca and Menorca. The Islands are the
best to visit in summer to sunbathe and to enjoy the beaches. Holiday makers
can visit the beautiful and small towns in the Balearic Islands.
The Balearic Islands comprises of four major
Islands. The largest amongst all four is Mallorca, which is the multi-culture
capital of Spain. Travellers can be thrilled with the Palma, and the Serra de
Tramuntana mountain range, which is a renowned Unesco World Heritage Site.
Menorca is a calm and composed island, which
includes two towns, Maó, and Ciutadella. Menorca has a great fishing village
called Fornells, undoubtedly the most charismatic place on the island. Ibiza is
centred around the nightlife and is known for some of the most beautiful
sunsets in the world. Traveler’s will love the luxury and rustic accommodation.
Ibiza is more familiar amongst young clubbers on weekends.
Formentera is the smallest of all the island.
This island is a mesmerizing and the quietest of all. It’s idyllic lots of
activities to experience such as kite-surfing, sailing, water-skiing and
windsurfing. It also has outstanding Unesco - listed diving sites.
The recent
popularity which the islands have gained as a tourist destination has had a
negative effect on the culture. The Islands still reflect the influence of
Spanish culture particularly in the field of religious artifacts and Balearic’s
special cuisines.
Each of the
four islands has a different tempo, this is because of the cultural isolation
from the Spanish mainland. Mallorca has a rich tradition of literature, music
and fine art. The islands are home to some of the finest writers, musicians and
modern artists. Art shows and theatre performances thrives on the Island
throughout the year.
One of the
most significant cultures of the Balearics Islands, is its traditional Roman
Catholic religious festivals, some have been celebrated for at least several
hundred years. People take part in the carnival dressed up in costumes.
This
important cultural tradition in the island include celebrations of the Roman
Catholic festivals, which have been celebrated since the dawn of the 11th century.
The people who live here, still lead
a simple life adhering to their cultural values, despite the islands becoming
the most desired tourist destination of the modern age.
