Situated on the south coast of the island on the Bay of Palma. Almost half of the total population of Majorca live in Palma.

 Formentera Island
The smallest of the Balearic Islands.The tiny island is located just 4 nautical miles from Ibiza Town and is just 20km from end to end. The only tourist areas are along the long stretches of beach where windsurfing and scuba diving are very popular and among the best in Europe.
Due to the fact that there is no airport on the island, the progression of the island has been somewhat restrained and it has managed to maintain it's slower, more traditional way of life. There are famous salt lakes here and no fresh water - rain water is recycled.
Flights for the island will arrive at the nearby Ibiza airport. From Formentera you are just a short ferry ride away from Ibiza. This makes Formentera an ideal base for hopping across to Ibiza for the nightlife
 Ibiza Island / Eivissa
Eivissa is a very popular tourist destination, especially due to its legendary riotous nightlife [ mainly in Ibiza Town, the island's capital on the eastern shore ].
 Majorca Island - a very popular tourist destination

History Balearic Islands

Historically the islands have been invaded by the Romans, the Vandals, the Byzantines, the Arabs, and the Catalan-Aragonese.

Els primers indicis de la presència humana a les Illes Balears, probablement d`origen oriental, se situen entorn de 3.500-3.000 a.C. El seu arrelament donarà lloc a la denominada cultura pretalaiòtica. L`arribada de nous pobladors obre el període talaiòtic (1500 a 123 a.C.) que finalitza amb la conquesta romana. L`època talaiòtica es desenvolupa a les Illes Balears en sentit estricte (Mallorca i Menorca), mentre les Illes Pitiüses (Eivissa i Formentera) en resten al marge....
