The largest of the Balearic Islands is the island of Mallorca. It rests on the eastern cost of Spain and is a popular tourist destination. It has a mix of mountains, beaches and lakes and its temperate region makes year-round travel possible.
A primary vacation destination for many Europeans, Mallorca provides many points of interest. The Coves del Drac or Caves of Dragon has interesting sites and a guided tour that ends in a violin concert on Lake Martel. The Caves of Dragon, located in Manacor, are open year round and are a top Mallorcan destination point.
Other attractions on the island include the Serra de Tramuntana Mountains, Magalluf Beach and Sa Calobra bay. The mountain ridge is the backbone of Mallorca.
