PALMA del Mallorca is the capital of Mallorca, the biggest island in the Balearic archipelago off the coast of the Iberian Peninsula in Spain. The Balearic Islands include the world-famous tourist spot of Ibiza. Suffice it to say then that the capital of the Balearic is also famous among foreigners. There is an international airport at Palma del Mallorca and flights come here from Madrid and other regional capitals of Europe such as Portugal, England, France, Italy and Germany. There are many English tourists coming here during summer because the Balearic Islands are what is Caribbean in the Americas and Bali in Asia. But the catch here is that its relatively colder here than in the tropics where other Western and Northern Europeans cannot withstand. Temperature here is only between 18 to 23 degrees Celsius during summer, no more than that. Thus, this is definitely an ideal place to get a tan. If one is not contented in stripping down to his or her bikini, then go commando. There are numerous nudist beaches here in Palma del Mallorca. Palma del Mallorca may be a part of Spain and the natives here may be devout Catholics but the owners and patrons of these nudist beaches are definitely foreign.

That is also one thing that people like in Palma del Mallorca. Spanish real estate laws and policies are so relaxed that there are no difficult ways to obtain a property to be converted into a beach resort even if the purchaser is a foreigner. All the foreigner needs to exhibit is his or her good intentions in investing in the kind of business which induces the economy of Palma del Mallorca all the more. Once the property has already stood up, the owner must allow the beach resort to be inspected constantly so it can get the coveted blue flag accreditation. The blue flag accreditation means that the property has passed stringent water quality tests where even the tap water at individual suites and cottages in the beach resort are good to be drunk.

In a related development, Palma de Mallorca has recently won acclaim by a professional tourist writer as one of the best autumn sites in the world. According to Peter MacNeil of the Belfast Telegraph, November is an ideal place to stay in Palma del Mallorca because many tourists are already back in their English homeland by then and this is one cozy cold place to snuggle if you are a honeymooning couple. Almost all of the holiday homes are vacant and one can go to the beaches in tranquility just like what you have seen in the Phuket-set movie The Beach. All the youngsters spinning techno and house music are gone and the couple can have the coast to themselves. Just make sure not to wander far out alone because lifeguards are not on duty on remote beaches. During this time, there is definitely no worry on when to reserve and book your resort stay here because there are virtually no tourists alone. This is even one right place to have a seaside wedding.
