The Mediterranean Sea in spring is perhaps one of the most paradisiacal places on this planet, especially on the Spanish island of Mallorca. With over 300 sunny days a year, it's also known as the "Paradise of the Mediterranean."
Mallorca, the largest island in the Balearic Islands, is located in the Mediterranean Sea and covers an area of 3,640 square kilometers. The island's capital is Palma, and it boasts sandy beaches, steep cliffs, fields with olive and almond trees, and other natural beauty.
In the spring of 1839, Chopin and George Sand returned to France after a romantic and creative journey to Majorca. Since then, many couples have followed in their footsteps and come to Mallorca as a romantic destination. Newlyweds also frequent the island for their honeymoon, and as a result, it has been dubbed "Honeymoon Island."
Palma's stunning museum of modern art, Es Baluard, offers a visual feast of works by 20th-century masters.
One of the most popular and spectacular short trips on the island is the train ride from Palma to Sóller, which is the best starting point for a hike. The nearby village of Fornalutx is said to be the most beautiful part of Mallorca. From Sóller, it's a 10km journey to the beautiful hilltop village of Deiá, where poet and writer Robert Graves spent most of his life.
You can then wind your way down the hill to the pebbly beach of Cala de Deiá, the perfect spot for weekend beach parties.
