Nestled in the Mediterranean sea and inhabited for centuries, the Spanish Island of Majorca has a long and colourful history. The island of Majorca was first made famous as a favourite holiday destination of royalty such as the famous King Ferdinand of Aragon and Isabella of Castile. Since the Aragonian takeover during the 11th Century, Majorca has played a prominent role as a holiday location with which few areas of the world can compete.
