Mallorca - Spain

Mallorca is the largest island in the Balearic Islands archipelago, which are part of Spain and located in the Mediterranean. The island is a popular holiday destination for the portuguese and also for tourists from Germany and the United Kingdom. 
This not my kind of place to visit but I admit that the landscapes are really beautiful. That's exactly what Gemmam, Vera and Ara said.

Mallorca is the largest and most densely populated of the four Islands (Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza and Formentera) which form the Spanish Balearic Islands in the Mediterranean Sea, east of mainland Spain.

The immense natural beauty together with Mediterranean weather (hot dry Summers and mild Winters) are the main reason why this Island has been so popular as a holiday destination.

We also enjoy a very diverse landscape from the rocky Tramuntana Mountainous region in the North-West to the flat plains in the centre of the Island. The beautiful beaches, varying resorts and range of sports and tourist activities provide a multitude of options for visitors. This is the reason why so many tourists return to the Island year after year! - in: http://www.mallorca-now.com/

 Originally the town of Colonia Sant Jordi was an agricultural and fishing village with tourists only starting to choose this destination as a holiday spot in the 1950s. Colonia Sant Jordi and neighbouring Ses Salines are famous for their extraction of salt and both towns carry this symbol in their town coat of arms. Salt is still extracted using traditional methods each year during a festival in August.
Colonia de Sant Jordi is now a busy resort. The fishing harbour is still a major part of the town and its small beach looks out over several islets, with good views all the way to the Cabrera Archipelago. - in: https://www.seemallorca.com/colonia-de-sant-jordi
