Mallorca is the largest of the Spanish islands, and there are a good range of activities on offer besides the obvious beach time. Here are a few...

There are 4 water parks in Mallorca, the largest of which is Aqualand El Arenal (also known as Aquacity El Arenal) ? this water park is actually one of the largest in Europe. There is another Aqualand in Masgaluf, as well a local rival in the form of Western Park.

If you enjoy some slightly more challenging waterborne pursuits, there are plenty of places to hire a windsurf, and this can be done by the hour. There are lessons available from several established schools.

The Caves of Drach are one of the most popular tourist attractions on the island, and a guided tour can take you on a tasteful look at the beauty of the underground lakes, culminating in a boat ride accompanied by a live rendition of some Chopin.

Palma De Majorca is the capital of the island, and has the largest shopping district ? this is where the locals come to shop. There are also some of the islands most famous historic attractions in and around the town, like the La Seu Cathedral, ...
... and the medieval Bellver Castle.

There are also weekly markets run in every significant Mallorcan town, where local produce and souvenirs can be found. The largest of these markets is in Inca.

If you are keen to really experience some perhaps brutally authentic Spanish culture, Placa de Toros in Palma is the place that Mallorcans go to see bullfighting ? not for the faint hearted.

Perhaps the easiest way to get to all of these attractions is to hire a car, although if you are on a budget, there is an established public transport network in Mallorca. If you wish to find car hire in Mallorca, local outfits like Ritmo Cars are bookable online, before you arrive for your holiday.
