Many other older hotels have been restored, refurbished and improved. With these improvements and the attendant publicity Mallorca is again increasing in popularity. PALMA, the capital is a must for a visit. This historic old town has plenty to see and enjoy: the cathedral, shops, restaurants and the maze of old streets. ILLETAS is a small quiet area to the west of Palma which is easily accessible by bus or taxi. Further along the coast is the pretty resort of PORTAL NOUS with its yacht Marina, choice of good restaurants, smart bars and marvellous sandy beach. Then there is the COSTA D'EN BLANES and the COSTA CALVIA with their pine scented headlands and small coves.  

One travels further to find the small town of PAGUERA with it's magnificent beach, sheltered bay, and a good selection of shops, bars and restaurants. CALA FORNELLS is located on the bay of Paguera and is a very peaceful resort. The bay of ALCUDIA in the north has a magnificent beach, the Playa de Muro, the harbour town of Puerto Alcudia is well worth a visit, as is Alcudia 3 kms inland with its fortified walls dating from the middle ages. SON SERVERA and ALARO are two rural areas for a get away from it all holiday. "Mallorca is now a truly upmarket holiday destination with plenty to see."
