Mallorca<\/b>\u00a0or Majorca<\/b> is the largest island in the Balearic Islands, which are part of Spain and located in the Mediterranean.\u00a0Like the other Balearic Islands of Menorca, Ibiza and Formentera, the island is an extremely popular holiday destination, particularly for tourists from Germany and the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n

Majorca is the largest island of Spain by area and second most populated (after Tenerife in the Canary Islands).<\/sup><\/sup> Majorca has two mountainous regions, the Serra de Tramuntana and Serres de Llevant. Each are about 70\u00a0km (43\u00a0mi) in length and occupy the northwestern and eastern parts of the island respectively.<\/p>\n

The highest peak on Majorca is Puig Major at 1,445\u00a0m (4,741\u00a0ft) in the Serra de Tramuntana.[19]<\/sup> As this is a military zone, the neighbouring peak at Puig de Massanella is the highest accessible peak at 1,364\u00a0m (4,475\u00a0ft). The northeast coast comprises two bays: the Badia de Pollen\u00e7a and the larger Badia d’Alc\u00fadia.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Old city<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Old City (in the south-east area of Palma behind the cathedral) is a maze of streets clearly hinting at an Arab past. The walkways of this city quarter are fairly narrow, quiet streets, surrounded by a diverse range of interesting buildings, the architecture of which is comparable to cities such as Florence.<\/p>\n

The Caves of Drach<\/h3>\n

The Caves of Drach<\/b>\u00a0are four great caves that are located in the island of Majorca, Balearic Islands, Spain.\u00a0They are in the municipality of Manacor, near the locality of Porto Cristo. They were first mentioned in a letter 1338.\u00a0The caves extend to a depth of 25\u00a0m and reach approximately 4\u00a0km in length.<\/p>\n

The caves have formed by water being forced through the entrance from the Mediterranean Sea, and some researchers think the formation may date back to the Miocene Epoch. There is an underground lake situated in the caves called Martel Lake, which is about 115\u00a0m in length and 30\u00a0m in width, and its depth varies between four and twelve meters.<\/p>\n
