Around the Island
Each region of Mallorca has its own particular appeal - the northeast for history, the east coast for beaches and caves, the north and west for spectacular mountains and picture-postcard villages. And you haven't seen Mallorca until you have driven across es pla, the fertile plain at the centre of the island, with its almond groves, windmills and old market towns. Try to do a bit of everything - one monastery, one mountain walk, one quiet cove - but don't try to do too much. The twisting mountain roads get very crowded in summer and journeys take longer than you think. Take your time and avoid the worst of the heat by doing what the Mallorcans do, break for a siesta. It is generally far more rewarding to spend a day pattering around one small area than to hare from one town to another ticking off the sights.
