Balearic Islands or the Mediterranean Paradise

From Oct 13, 2015 to Oct 17, 2015

What about flying just one hour and ten minutes 

to find one of the most wonderful places in the

Mediterranean?  The deep blue of Mediterranean

sea and the stunning scenery all around the 

island...

This group of islands is divided into Gimnesias 

(Mallorca, Menorca and Cabrera) in the North 

and Pitiusas (Ibiza and Formentera) in the 

South-West

Mallorca's

wonderful climate, beautiful 
landscapes, makes it a privileged holiday resort

  
We stayed in Magaluf 

well known for its nightlife during the summer season. 
But in mid-October we found the sun, the marvelous temperature without the summer noising activities….
