Cheap Car Rental Mallorca

Summer in Majorca starts as early as February when the first warm sunrays of the year tickle the buds on the almond trees and cover the entire island in white blossoms. Soon the inner part of the island is painted in a strong green, and the moderate temperatures guarantee perfect conditions for long hikes through the gorgeous countryside, a popular activity made extremely exhausting during the summer when temperatures rise to 86°F and above.
The subtropical climate reaches its heights during July and August when rain occurs on two to three days maximum per month. The southern half of the island is extremely dry, whereas in the hilly north you might occasionally get surprised by a rain shower. There are plenty of outdoor activities available, such as cycling, hiking, and rock climbing in the Serra de Tramuntana Mountains, and there are 19 golf clubs spread across the island. Additionally there are water sports like sailing, scuba diving, surfing, and water skiing.

The airport is located just east of Palma, the capital. Palma has gained the reputation of a trendy city and is home to about half of the 800,000 citizens on the island. During its history it has seen numerous different rules, including the Romand and the Byzantine Empires, the Moors, and the Kingdom of Aragon. Just like in the rest of the island relics of this colorful history can be found all over Palma.
Should you be interested in cultural and historical trips, you should definitely visit the Roman ruins of Pollentia in Alcúdia, as well as the charter house of Valdemossa and the picturesque harbor of Cala Figuera. In addition to this there are numerous old monasteries to visit, some of which you can book a room in and enjoy absolute seclusion and peace under the Mediterranean sun. One of these is Santuari de Sant Salvador, founded in 1342 on a 1670 ft high hill close to the town of Felanitx, but there are countless other monasteries, pilgrimage churches, and fortresses to see.

Adventurers will not want to miss the stalactite caves of Porto Cristo and the mile-long cave system featuring Europe’s largest underground lake.
Generally the conditions for outdoor activities are ideal, and while the southern coast is generally crowded with European tourists the secluded bays on the cliffy eastern shore are perfect for a private afternoon in the sun. Close to Cala Millor and Cala Guya in the north-east you will find large sandy beaches only frequented by locals, and the 8 mile beach on Alcudia Bay leaves room for everyone. This is also a particularly popular beach among surfers, as the wind blows steadily and the water is clear.
Locals will also recommend the Formentor beach on the north coast, a quiet spot far away from sangria and Irish Pubs.
