Majorca
Places to
See
There is so much to see in
Majorca. The buses get to almost
every corner of the island so that you don't
need to hire a car to see whole island.
The eastern coasts of Mallorca are a
wonderful mixture of bays, long sweeps of
beaches, coves and spectacular caves. The far
east part of the island is a mixture of
port, village and promenade area called
Cala Ratjada. The coasts are full of family friendly
resorts.
If your kids get bored from
splashing around the pools, then
Marineland located in Gracillaso de la
Vega, Aqualand Mallorca and
Western Park
are the popular water
parks for your kids to have fun.
