Hello everyone! For me, Spain is one of Europe's favorite countries. I like their variety of relief that blends perfectly, dramatic coastlines, magical architecture and their rich history.
We chose Mallorca for our first trip to Spain, which is the largest in the Balearics Islands in the Mediterranean. Located off the east coast of Spain, is a major destination for tourists looking to enjoy the sun and sand. It is a naturally beautiful island with stunning scenery. There are marvelous sandy beaches, azure views, towering mountains and picturesque villages. The island offers every kind of beauty for everyone. Mallorca has been ruled by various kingdoms over its centuries-long history, therefore it boasts with many historic buildings.

We arrived in Mallorca by plane and landed in Palma de Mallorca, a vibrant capital city.

With over 500 km of coastline, there are more than 200 beaches to choose from on Mallorca. We chose the beaches of Magaluf with turquoise-blue seas and soft golden sands. The resort of Magaluf is on the south coast of this beautiful island. It's one of the most famous tourist resorts in Spain thanks to its white beaches and crystal clear waters. We went in Magaluf during the month August and the weather was hot and sunny. This resort is a hotspot for tourists seeking an unforgettable Mediterranean vacation.
Magaluf is a classic Mediterranean postcard.
In Magaluf summer is a long party. Once the sun sets, the resort comes to life with bars and clubs open until the early hours of the morning. Many of the world's top DJs have played in Magaluf. Tourists can enjoy wonderful restaurants and wine bars or dance the evening away at any one of the Magaluf's many nightclubs.
Sunrise is a magnificent time of day. Witnessing this beautiful daybreak can bring joy into your life. On every trip where I was, I went to see the sunrise. Sunrise sends you vibrations that you can only feel when you watch it live.
Mallorca has long been known as one of the best places in the Mediterranean for bird watching. According to the experts there are eleven species of seagulls to be found in Mallorca. Seagulls love this place and to my surprise they are very friendly. They often walked quietly on the beach among the tourists. These birds are beautiful but also intelligent. I was amused when a seagull began eating food from a tourist that was not paying attention to his things left on the beach. I would have liked to capture the moment, it would have been a funny picture.
Excellent food abounds in Magaluf. There are plenty of restaurants offering local and international cuisine. Seafood predominates in resort. Traditional food in Magaluf reflects the cuisine of Catalonia with its combination of sweet and savory. You can enjoy different traditional dishes. For example, the famous "paella", a cooked dish all over the world, but only here you can feel its original taste. I also tried the famous cold soup "gazpacho", a real delight.
At the end of our holiday in Magaluf we went to see Katmandu Park, which was voted Best Theme Park in Mallorca. We really loved it here. The place is a mythical world of unexpected adventure packed with new generation thrills, laughs and amazement for everyone in Magaluf. From enchanting family fun to mind-blowing thrills with friends, everyone finds endless freedom to play in this park.
More and more people are visiting the island of Mallorca. Whether you choose to party or relax, thanks to its many charms, Mallorca travel won't disappoint.
With love,
