The Balearic islands lie 82 kilometres east of the Spanish
mainland in the Mediterranean sea. Mallorca is the largest island, roughly
100 kilometres from east to west. Mallorca´s coastline runs for
some 555 kilometres.
In the north high cliffs fall abruptly into the sea,
while the east coast is indented with sandy coves. Two great bays gnaw
into the island, Badia D´Alcudia in the Northeast, and Badia de
Palma in the west now home to the islands capital, Palma de Mallorca. |
