Among all the Balearic Islands off the southeast coast of Spain, Majorca is the largest and also the most visited. Not just a place laden with gold beaches and tourist attractions, Majorca is also packed with scenic hilltop villages and historical landmarks. Using cheap car hire in Majorca is the perfect way to explore the island and all it has on display.

The old quarter of Palma is where the Gothic cathedral can be found whilst the undiscovered villages close to the foot of the Galatzó Mountains are also becoming increasingly popular. When tourists are not relaxing on the beach, they are usually off and about seeing the sights with the aid of a Majorca hire car.

A visit to the Museu de Majorca by car rental is a highly regarded history lesson which takes place within the confines of a restored 15th century palace. Also in the locality and in other places across the island are historic Roman burial chambers that give insight into the nature of Majorca’s history.

For nightlife entertainment and dining, the old quarter of Palma is where the majority of Majorca’s bars, tapas restaurants and nightclubs can be found. If you have come to the island to do a spot of shopping, the town’s old quarter is the place for you given its mix of designer malls and small shops.

Once you have obtained a hire car in Majorca, there are numerous places you can visit for the day. The La Reserva Puid de Galatzó is a popular nature reserve while those who want to discover a peaceful getaway head for the village of Soler, which boasts tropical gardens and plazas.
