The Heart of the Balearics

From the website http://www.webchats.tv

Majorca, the largest of the Balearic islands, is familiar to many British holidaymakers with over 2 million visiting last year. The destination is now maturing and offering something to entice the discerning traveller as well as the traditional package holidays. From gastronomic delights and hiking and cycling to beautiful scenery and the temperate climate, there really is something for everyone.

The capital, Palma, is becoming a popular city break destination with its bustling café scene, fantastic shopping and rich artistic heritage due to its Gothic Catherdral and old quarters. A weekend spent roaming the old streets is time well spent and the themed city walks have only added to the pleasure.

Hiking is now growing in popularity across the island and there are many scenic trails, some of which are available for cyclists. In last few years tracks have been restored by the local government in the North West of the island and once finished, the route will total 150 kms. It's a chance to get to the heart of the real Majorca and get away from the pressures of modern life.

All this and only 2 hours away. What are you waiting for?

Eduardo Gamero, Director General for Tourism Promotion of the Balearic Islands joined Keith Betton on why Majorca is a great choice for your holiday.
