Holiday villas in Balearic Islands, Spain
Lying to the southwest of mainland Spain, the Balearic Islands (or Baleares) archipelago is made up of three islands: Majorca (the largest), Menorca and Ibiza. Their favourable position in the mediterranean has given them a long and colourful history, with evidence of settlement from as early as 5000 BC. In more recent times, the Balearics were one of the first Spanish regions to benefit from the tourist boom. By the 1960's, tourism had really taken off and all three islands had opened major airports whilst cheap air flights encouraged new visitor levels. In 1966, Majorca recorded one million visitors to the island, whilst Ibiza saw an influx of hippies, some of whom remain there today!
In 1983 the Balearics became an autonomous region with Palma the capital and Catalan the official language. The climate, tranquility and natural beauty of the islands continues to make them a favourite with holidaymakers to this day.
