The compelling city of Mahón is the capital of Menorca, one of Spain’s Balearic Islands. Mahón’s uniquely shaped, deep harbour is among the largest in the world.

Day 5 Palma de Mallorca, Spain (B,L,D)
Palma de Mallorca, the capital of Spain’s Balearic Islands, is a city steeped in history and adorned with remarkable architecture.

Ibiza’s party scene is world-renowned, attracting thousands of visitors each year.
