What to do and see in Balearic Islands, Balearic Islands: The Best Historic Walking Areas
The brightest stars of Los Baleares are Majorca, Ibiza and peaceful Minorca. Situated between France and Africa, the archipelago's islands each have distinct characters. Majorca is the most developed and offers a mass of hotels, fast food joints and crowded beaches. Ibiza is loved by a hard partying set, including many gay visitors. It is also increasingly popular with upscale travelers, drawn by the chameleon island's reputation as "the new Provence." Pick an island and stake a claim on its sand.

Superb tour guide. Fascinating tour of a beautiful island. This one is frequently overlooked for some bizarre reason as it is truly worth a visit. Known also as Quarantine Island. Boat leaves from Cala Fons (in Es Castell). Can get tickets also at tourist info but easiest is to buy directly at the boat 20 minutes before departure. Lots to see and photograph and a really interesting history. Also has one of the very first electrocardiographs and an original pharmacy.

All beaches are worth a visit in Mallorca and are all so easy to access. I would suggest getting to some of the smaller ones slightly earlier.

Tenth century baths that are the only existing ruins of the Arab city of Medina Mayurqa.
Reviewed By Akumuk - Paignton, United Kingdom
This is a very rare opportunity to visit ancient Arab Baths. Whilst the site is small and a small fee is charged for entry the actual experience is unique in the quality and type of remains to be found in this site. Access is not easy, but the effort is well worth it. The courtyard to the Baths has a lovely, but small, garden. Make the effort to find this interesting piece of history. Signage on the site is in English as well as Spanish.
