A Guide to Buying Property in Spain

The largest of the Balearic Islands, Mallorca is a Mediterranean haven of stunning natural beauty and spectacular varied landscape, due to it's geological formation. The striking Tramuntana Mountain range form a line of mountains running parallel to the north west coast, the highest of which is Puig Major. Idyllic sandy beaches and isolated coves adorn Mallorca’s coastline. However, long before its beaches ever became known, visitors were fascinated by Mallorca's enormous number of monuments, outstanding buildings, art galleries and literature, which are still prominent in many of the island’s traditional villages. In more recent times, Mallorca has reinvented itself with an emphasis on more upmarket tourism, and is now becoming a desired destination for people wishing to experience the Mediterranean way of living.
