A closer look

Balearic Islands

Palma’s city waterfront, the mountain coast at Sóller, Ibiza’s old town and the harbour at Maó: the Balearics change character from island to island, and from one coast to another.

Original map background in English

The guides follow three parts of the archipelago: Mallorca, Menorca, and Ibiza with Formentera. Mainland connections appear with the islands they approach.

Ibiza and Formentera

Dalt Vila rises above Eivissa’s harbour; on Formentera, La Savina connects the waterfront with salt landscapes and cycle routes. The guide also covers the mainland connections to Dénia, Xàbia and Altea.

Mallorca

Palma’s city waterfront, Sóller below the Tramuntana, the separate northern bays and the eastern harbour towns. Markets, the port-to-town tram and beaches connect these different shores with life inland.

Menorca

Maó in the east, Ciutadella in the west, northern harbour villages and southern bays. Around Maó, the city waterfront and the garden on Illa del Rei belong to the same harbour landscape.
