Majorca


 

Majorca (Mallorca in Catalan and Spanish, sometimes also encountered in English),: from Latin insula maior, later Maiorica, ("major island") is one of the Balearic Islands (Catalan: Illes Balears, Spanish: Islas Baleares), which are located in the Mediterranean Sea and are a part of Spain. Like the other Balearic Islands Ibiza (Catalan: Eivissa), Formentera, and Minorca ("minor island", Catalan and Spanish: Menorca), the island is a popular tourist destination. In Germany, where package tourism to Majorca has been popular since the 1960s, it has become a synonym for mass tourism and also for birdwatchers.
