subject: Property Mallorca Guide - Now Is The Time To Buy [print this page] So you're interested in buying property in Mallorca but what do you know about the Island itself and would you like to know more?
One of the most beautiful islands in the Mediterranean, Mallorca has the advantage of a hot summer sun whilst still often being blessed with refreshing sea breezes. In the winter the weather is mild, although night times can get quite chilly. There is something for everyone here in Mallorca, no matter what the season.
Mallorca is the largest of the Balearic Islands, 3,640km in area. From Cabo Grosser (S'Arraco) to Cabo de Capdepera it is about 110km in length and roughly 76km wide from north to south. The island has 7 cities, the capital being Palma, the others Manacor, Llucmajor, Soller, Felanitx, Inca and Alcudia, with 52 municipal areas. Nearly half of the population is in and around Palma, over 380,000 inhabitants.
Mallorca's landscape is picturesque and varied, changing dramatically within a short distance. The Serra Tramunta mountains stretch from Cabo Formentor down to the areanear Isla Dragonera on the west coast, the highest peak being that of Puig Major (1,455m).
This forms a protective barrier protecting the island from the cold north winds. The coastline in this area is made up of sheer cliffs dropping dramatically to the sea.
Further east is the mountain range Sierra de Levante, which are lower, the highest peak that of the Atalaia Morella (562m). Es Raiguer is part of the large, flat, central plain of Mallorca. Here you will find the heart of the islands agriculture, with thousands of almond trees, vineyards, carob trees and orchards.
The rest of the area, around the coastline, generally consists of gently sloping land leading to beaches of fine sand and clear water. The coastline is inundated with tiny beaches and coves, some of which can only be reached by sea.
One of the first things you see when driving along the main sea front, the Paseo Maritimo, in Palma, is the beautiful Palma Cathedral, La Seu, proudly guarding the Bay of Palma.This is just one of the many historical buildings to be found as you wander down narrow streets, through numerous "plaza's" or squares, viewing secluded courtyards and spectacular churches.
That's just a sample of what Property Mallorca has to offer but it is best to deal with a professional agent you can trust when buying property in Mallorca
