is just about perfect in the Spring and Autumn, with mild
sunny days. In the summer, especially in August, it is so
hot that the locals close up shop and leave for a months holiday.
The winter can be chilly with snow on the tops of the mountains.
The
local language of Mallorca is Mallorquìn, an Eastern dialect
of Catalan which is spoken from Valencia up to Southern France.
All the state schools in Mallorca teach in Mallorquin with
Spanish as a second language.
Mallorca's
geography is incredibly varied with the beautiful Tramuntana
mountain range, long sandy beaches, craggy coastline and the
central plain which produces the islands wine and olives.
The
earliest inhabitants of Mallorca were people who lived from
the sea. The first place used as settlements, dating back
to 4000 BC, were the large number of natural caves dotted
around the Mallorcan coastline. 
Long
before its beaches ever became known, visitors to the Island
of Calm, were fascinated by Mallorca's monuments, buildings,
art and literature. 
Books
about Mallorca. Lots of guidebooks, maps, walking guides,
scuba diving guides, rock climbing and a selection of autobiographies
and much more. 
Traditional
Mallorca dishes include the delicious lomo con col, pork loin
with pine nuts, raisins and sausage wrapped in cabbage and
braised in the oven.
We
have created a number of maps of Palma, Mallorca and the resorts.
