Holidays to the Balearic Islands are packed with enough treasures to keep a dedicated history buff busy for days. Delve deep into the islands' history by exploring ancient villages, Gothic Castles, and striking Cathedrals.
The community of the Balearic Islands are proud of their history and heritage, and there is a distinct difference here compared to the Spanish mainland.
Eivissa, Ibiza
As we said before, Ibiza isn't all about nightclubs; it also has some impressive historical sites. As an old medieval city, Eivissa is steeped in history, with old buildings and beautiful views. You can also visit a museum featuring contemporary art and walk along the cobbled streets.
It's a great way to escape the more tourist areas of Ibiza and appreciate the island's rich culture.
Palma de Mallorca
Another historical town with a rich history is Palma de Mallorca. It's one of the more popular spots in Majorca due to the Catedral de Mallorca, a magnificent building open to the public Monday to Saturday.
You can also take a walk to the town's harbour, which shows off Mallorca's scenery and has a fresh fish market.
Alcudia, Mallorca
Imagine walking through a town that takes you back in time, and you'll understand why so many people flock to Alcudia. The ancient walled town is beautiful, with so much history everywhere you look.
Take a look at Roman monuments and marvel at how well this town has been preserved to retain its authentic charm.
Talatí de Dalt
Talatí de Dalt is a prehistoric archaeological site close to Menorca's capital of Mahón. Believed to have been constructed in 1300 BC, it's the remains of a sanctuary that features underground chambers. You can visit the site between April and October, but you'll need a car or you can go by bus.
