Describing Mallorca Spain to a potential traveler is fairly easy for any travel guide.  Mallorca Spain is a travelers paradise that is hard to match anywhere else in the world.  From the scenic coastline of this wonderful island to the many coves, cliffs and landscapes that are ready to be explored, Mallorca Spain is one island that simply must be seen to be believed.  The natural wonders of this beautiful island paradise are breathtaking, but the nightlife, tourism and fun filled adventures that can be found there are very popular reasons to visit as well.  Here are some great travel guide facts about Mallorca Spain that any travel guide should know.

In Mallorca, Spain, the language is usually Spanish or Catalan.  Many people do speak a bit of English due to the heavy influence of English tourism.  There are many visitors to Mallorca Spain from many places, so there are actually a number of languages that are spoken.  Travel guides state the official language is Catalan, however.

Another interesting travel guide notation is in the name of the island.  Mallorca, Spain is the correct name, but the English refer to it as Majorca.

The Mediterranean ocean has always been known as one of the most stunning sights on the planet, with ice blue waters and teeming sea life – imagine 550 kilometers of coastline that highlights this beauty.  That is Mallorca in it's most natural state.  The island is the largest of the Balearic Islands, and stands out as the crown jewel. 

The beaches and natural beauty of Mallorca is surely the primary travel guide draw for the island.  They are unlike any other beach on the planet, and have an incredible backdrop.  When you are swimming off the coast of Mallorca, you are often in water that is crystal blue or emerald green, and the sea life down below is often visible.  Surfing, fishing and all the best water sports are huge draws for Mallorca Spain.

While a huge portion of the island is still in it's natural state, there is also about 60 percent of the island that is dedicated to the primary economic boon to the island – tourism.  What makes Mallorca so popular as a travel guide tourist location is the fact that you can enjoy the modernistic tourism or five minutes later be in the middle of ancient Mallorca.  The seclusion and excitement of the island in it's natural state is intact, while at the same time all the modern amenities and indulgences are available when the natural island loses its appeal.

Palma De Mallorca is the capital of the region of islands, and is the cultural epicenter of the island by all travel guide accounts.  Palma is located in the perfect place to provide tourists with the best of the island's natural beauty while still keeping them close to the creature comforts of modern tourism.  Over 11 million people visit the island every year and the island is growing in tourism still.
