Spain (Mallorca - Balearic Islands): Island's Coastal and Inland Route, tailor-made by car

If there's one place in Europe that's amazing all four seasons of the year, it's Mallorca. Its warm climate is perfect for year-round visits and each season boasts a particular idiosyncrasy. In spring, excursions are truly idyllic, passing through a countryside transformed into multicoloured patchwork of scenery, with stunning almond trees in blossom and sheep grazing peacefully in their shade. In summer, the coast will capture all your attention, with azure waters, magnificent seascapes, bustling terraces and unforgettable balmy evenings. In autumn, serene and mild, the sun and the sea still make a dip in the water appetising, while the whole island plays host to a range of fiestas steeped in tradition. In winter, Palma City is still vibrant, with a host of cultural activities taking place among the city's elegant and historic architecture. Mallorca is an island to enjoy 365 days a year, with the sheer perfection of its picturesque villages, such as Valldemosa, Deià, Sóller and Pollensa; with its 400 kilometres of coastline dotted with coves, cliffs and breathtaking landscapes; with the Sierra de Tramuntana mountain range crowning its north coast, full of lush woodland and abandoned chapels; with stunning sunsets over a horizon of sailboats; and with its exquisite and truly original local cuisine.
