Top Amazing Beaches in Majorca

Majorca is one of the most popular islands in the Mediterranean Sea, and every year millions of tourists travel from all over the world to experience the great food, culture and climate. In order to cope with the continued increase of visitors, there are over 2,000 restaurants in Majorca, including cocktail bars and beach grills. Sadly however, most of the sea food sold on the island is imported, even though the island couldn’t be better placed in the Mediterranean. The Mediterranean diet is one of the most followed health plans in the world, and many people holiday in Majorca to catch a glimpse of the vast fields of olive trees and almond farms.

Majorca is also the biggest of the Balearic Islands, and Palma – its capital – is home to some of the most historic Spanish architecture in Europe. Majorca was a strategic stronghold during the Spanish Civil War, and over many years its shores and landscapes were battered with artillery fire. However since the late 1960s, the island has gone through a major tourist transformation, benefitting from waves of visitors from all over the world, looking to enjoy the continuous sun and spectacular beaches.

As the tourism industry on Majorca grew, so did the capital Palma, and it remains the entertainment and cultural centre of the island. From tropical marine life to crystal clear shores, Majorca is a holiday of a life time, so let’s take a look at some of the most beautiful beaches on this fantastic island.

Cala Llombards

Although this beach is relatively unheard of when it comes to tourists, the locals swear by its beauty. Situated in the south of the island, the beach is surrounded by pine woods and rocky outcrops, and if you’re looking to do some snorkelling, then the crystal clear waters are perfect.

Furthermore, if you ever get bored of sunbathing in Cala Llombards, then there is a lot of exploration to be done! Not only are there stunning walks between the main beach and the local village Cala Santanyi, but there’s also an amazing viewing point, where your eyes can feast on the fantastic landscape all around you. In order to get the best deals to Cala Llombards, make sure you check up on the latest Majorca flights at cheapflights.co.uk.

Colonia Sant Jordi

Colonia Sant Jordi is one of the most popular holidaying resorts in Majorca, however there are two beaches hidden just around the coast that many tourists don’t know about. Es Dolc and Es Carbo are two great beaches that appear as natural and clean as when they were first discovered, and it only takes a short walk from Colonia Sant Jordi to reach them. With the azure sea crashing against the gentle white sand, you might mistake this beach to be something out of a Caribbean tropical paradise.

There are many spots to relax on these two beaches, and if you’re looking to take a stroll, then why not walk the length of both in the moonlight. Es Dolc and Es Carbo are perfect for couples looking to take a break from the hustle and bustle of the island’s capital, and there are also a number of traditional restaurants located a short walk inland.

5 of the Top Places to Stay in Ibiza

Ibiza is one of the most popular holiday destinations for travelers in the 18-30 age range and with good reason. Whether you want to party all night, relax on the beach, or simply get away from the stresses of day to day life and enjoy a few days lazing by the pool with a good book, there's something for everyone in Ibiza. Here is a quick round-up of the best island resorts.

Can Xuxu
This highly fashionable resort is owned by former fashion designer Alexandre Narakas. Each suite has been individually designed and features its own private terrace. The resort also has a 14-meter pool and a chic "relaxation zone" complete with wooden day beds. This resort attracts a lot of wealthy, fashionable travelers  so be sure to pack your best outfits.

Pikes
Party animals will love Pikes. This holiday hot-spot was made famous when it was used by Wham! as the location for their Club Tropicano video. Since then, Pikes has been home to great sounds, refreshing cocktails and non-stop partying.

Candomo
For an alternative Ibiza experience, check out Candomo, a quiet resort located on a former 17th-century farm in Ibiza's quiet hills. This resort is great for a week of relaxation and fine dining. Night-life opportunities are limited in the area, but there is a pool on-site and a golf course nearby. A masseuse visits every day and the owner of the resort makes delicious home-made meals for his guests.

Ushuaia Ibiza
This bustling beach hotel offers the ultimate hedonistic Ibiza experience. The hotel has an on-site club and guests receive an all-access pass, which means they can visit the main stage, the beach pool and all of the club rooms. The DJ sets at Ushuaia Ibiza are world-renowned and the hotel suites are decked-out Hollywood style with full-length mirrors and a wealth of complimentary beauty products.

Hacienda Na Xamena
If the thought of noisy DJs and busy clubs is too much to bear, then why not head away from the resorts and stay somewhere more tranquil? Hacienda Na Xamena is located in Northern Ibiza. This luxurious resort boasts private heated pools, Jacuzzis and a saltwater spa.

You can enjoy a trip to Ibiza on a budget, although you will have to plan your nights out carefully. You can find cheap flights at most times of the year, thanks to websites such as http://www.cheapflights.co.uk/flights/Ibiza/. If you book a self-catering villa and buy club entry tickets online in advance, then you can save a fortune.

Ibiza is a beautiful place and while most people visit it for the beaches and the clubs, there are a lot of other things to see and do on the island. If you're planning on staying at one of the main resorts, try to find some time to explore the rest of the island to get a feel for what life is like for the locals. The beaches further away from the resorts are usually quieter and the views are nicer too.

To Visit or Not To Visit The Little Hongkong of The South?

My close friend Pabz talked about his plan to travel with his cousin to Pagadian City the other day when he visited here in my apartment. I recalled he mentioned about a church event that they had to attend. He asked me if I like the idea of travelling with them, it is only a one-day travel anyway. He said my blogging job would not be much left out for it will only be a day away from my computer. Silly! It would be so lame of me to use that excuse not to go. He added a more assuring piece that we'll have great time there for his cousin has a car that we can use for a short city tour conveniently and safely. Exploring a new environment, just great!

The idea sounded so great but I just couldn't go and attend their church event for we believe in two different religions. It was sad that I couldn't accompany him for I knew very well he only wanted to have a fun company that he can talk to during the long hours of bus ride. Argh! Aside from the religious clash, the long hours of bus ride made me so uninterested to go. An hour bus ride from my home to my apartment is already a dilemma, now how long does it take to travel from Dipolog City to Pagadian City? If there's no other faster routes from Dipolog to Pagadian, it is roughly 10  hours bus ride or more. Just thinking about it already made me feel dizzy. Sadly, I declined. 

Photo not mine. 

The City of Pagadian is the capital city of the province of Zamboanga del Sur that is situated on the northeastern side of Western Mindanao region. I've heard about this city a lot from my relatives who are from there but I've never had a chance to have a visit. I believe though (if I am not mistaken) that I've already passed Pagadian on my chaotic and tiring travel to, for the very first time, the City of Iligan. I swore not to travel that route again unless for a very important matter. Well, let's set Iligan City aside and get back to Pagadian. I did a little research about this booming city that's now taking pride of its every progress as years passed. Do you know that it earned a nickname, the "Little Hongkong of The South"? I just knew about it. It is believed that the city acquired this nickname from its hilly or rolling terrain surrounding the commercial and residential districts, which reminds us of the famous Crown Colony.

Photo not mine. 

With that trick played by mother nature on the ground of Pagadian City, locals are left thinking to come up a solution to their problem with public transportation. Then came a uniquely designed tricycle that's inclined at about 25 to 40 degrees angle to adopt the rolling terrain of the city. It is now the iconic symbol of Pagadian. I got no information on who specifically was the person who had thought of this idea first. I wonder how it's like riding on that tricycle. It looks scary not to mention the hilly way...but I must say I wanna try it someday.
