 The island of Majorca (Mallorca) off the east coast of Spain is the largest in the Balearics, which collectively form one of the most popular holiday destinations in the world, and certainly in the Mediterranean. Majorca took off as a tourist Mecca in the 1960s, when a development boom spawned the building of hundreds of high-rise hotels, apartment blocks and shopping centres which now line most of the island’s coast. The capital, Palma, however still retains some of its historical flavour sporting grand mansions and a magnificent Gothic cathedral in its bustling centre. The northwest coast, too, still offers some secluded coves below the peaks of the Serra de Tramuntana mountain range, and several quaint old towns and villages. The east coast offers some great family friendly resorts such has Cala Bona and Cala Millor which offer superb gentle sloping beaches that are ideal for young ones.

Things to see and do in Majorca |
Soller Railway: Whilst in Majorca you have the possibility of travelling in the only time machine that actually works, that takes you back in time: The Soller Railway. This railway has connected the city of Palma de Mallorca with the small town of Soller since 1912. The train travels 27 km along its narrow-gauge track through beautiful landscapes, and has completely retained its original character. The train takes one hour to achieve its goal: Soller, a small town that combines the charm of the Mediterranean with the open, worldly atmosphere of a port that is open to Europe. |

 Free child places - Holidays, Hotels & Apartments. Our dynamic search does all the hard work in sourcing holidays with free child places. It searches from self catering holidays right through to all inclusive holidays with free child places and only returns the best deal found. All you need to do is enter the childrens ages on the last day of the holiday and the database will show the best deal available. If your party includes teenagers above 11 then you must enter these as adults as the airline will charge an adult fare. If your family includes infants then excluded them in the search (i.e. don't class them as a child) but do call us before booking so that we can ensure that a cot is available.
