Ideas for days out in Majorca.

Well known for its sun, sea and sangria, Majorca has been popular with British tourists for decades.  The glorious beaches draw the masses year after year in the main resorts and it’s easy to see why, but if you did want to get out and about, what are the top excursions to enjoy on the island?  Let’s take a look:  –
•    Palma and its cathedral.  Take a visit to the island’s upmarket capital, Palma, with its stunning yachting marina.  The area is overlooked by the dominating La Seu cathedral which has a beautiful gothic design.  The cathedral was finally completed in 1601 after over 300 years worth of construction and was then altered internally by Gaudi at a later date.  Definitely worth a visit!
•    The orange blossom trail.  Described as easily the most popular excursion in Majorca, you get the opportunity to travel onboard the ‘Orange Blossom Express’, a famous wooden train, from which you will be able to view an array of remarkably picturesque landscapes that include pine mountains, gorgeous villages and colourful citrus groves.  You get the chance to step back in time also, when you visit a Majorcan country mansion.
•    Inca Market.  Visit this vibrant market in the centre of the island.  You will find it a great experience that the whole family will enjoy and it will give you a real insight into the local culture.  The market is renowned for selling locally produced leather goods that you can buy very reasonably.
•    Caves of Drach.  A magical series of caves set on the beautiful east coast where you’ll discover a world of grottoes and lakes.  Become accustomed with the array of ‘stalagmite’ and ‘stalactite’ formations which are incredible to see.
Hopefully this article will give you a few ideas on what to do for any future holidays to Majorca that you may plan on travelling on.  The main season to travel to the island is the summer season that lasts between May and October.
