The Perfect Refuge Thanks to Cheap Flights to Majorca
In early December 2011, the world’s media turned their attention to the idyllic Spanish island of Majorca, after it transpired that US financier David Spargo, who is wanted by US police, had found refuge there.
Anyone who has visited Majorca for a holiday in the past would understand completely why he chose this beautiful paradise with a superb climate, even in the traditional winter months.
A Popular Destination for Good Reason
Majorca is the largest of the Balearic Islands, and has been a popular destination for holiday-making Britons for many decades. Located off the eastern coast of Spain, it has a population of around 850,000, although this number increases greatly during the summertime.
Originally a centre for olive cultivation and salt mining, tourism now provides the island’s main source of income. As well as British tourists, there are also large numbers of visitors from Germany, the Netherlands, France and the Republic of Ireland.
Ask most visitors to the island about their favourite aspect of their holiday and the chances are they will mention the superb sandy beaches. However, there is so much more to life on Majorca, and for fans of culture and heritage that can only mean the range of museums, churches and art galleries that are located in the towns and cities.
With so many cheap holidays to Majorca available on the web, it’s possible to make tracks to the island without having to pay a small fortune. There are planes leaving the UK for the Balearics throughout the year, even in the depths of a cold and unwelcoming British winter.
