One of the most confusing things about Mallorca is the different spelling the island has. Majorca is the spanish and catalan version of Mallorca so which one is correct?

Majorca is the official name of the island although it spoken Ma-yor-ca. British people tend to say Ma-jor-ca but will spell it Mallorca.

Mallorca is the largest island of Spain and is part of the Balearic Islands along with Ibiza, Formentera and Minorca. The capital, Palma is actually one of the biggest cities in the whole of Spain.

Since the 1950s, Majorca started to attract many tourists from the rest of Europe, this has continued right up to today. With the growing popularity, the tourists turned into buyers and now people are more interested in buying property in Mallorca.

Amongst Mallorca’s many other attractions, there are some fantastic apartments and beautiful houses, all of varying style and character.
