【Mallorca Island|Blue Poetry of the Mediterranean】
[Mallorca | A Blue Poetry of the Mediterranean]
Mallorca, the pearl of Spain's Balearic Islands, is renowned for its vast turquoise sea, fjord-like coastline, and scattered whitewashed villages. As the plane touched down in Palma, the sun shone on the azure waters, creating a prelude to the color "blue."
🌊 The Multi-Layered Natural Landscape
• Coast: Hidden within limestone canyons, beaches like Cala Deià and Cala Llombards exude a tranquil atmosphere, their crystal-clear waters seeming to soothe the soul.
• Inland: The rolling Serra de Tramuntana Mountains, interwoven with mountain villages and olive groves, create a pristine, idyllic landscape.
• Sky: Sunset paints the horizon crimson, and as night falls, the tranquility of the island is softly illuminated by a twinkling starlight.
🏛 Culture and People
The island's capital, Palma, boasts the magnificent Gothic cathedral, La Seu, and its streets are filled with a relaxed, Spanish atmosphere. Villages like Valldemossa, famed for having once wintered there, feature stone houses and stained glass windows, creating a romantic atmosphere where time has stood still.
☕ Lifestyle
At the morning market, the enticing aroma of olives, seafood, and cheese permeates. In the afternoon sun, people relax at seaside restaurants, sipping a glass of Sangria or Mediterranean white wine, and watch the waves lapping against the shore.
✨ Travel Tips
• Transportation: The easiest way to get around the island is to rent a car and explore its hidden coves and mountain villages.
