Sostravel.com‘s journey continues to the isle considered queen of the Balearics: the island of Majorca.

This island in which predominant colors are the blue of the sea, the green of nature and the white of the beaches composed of fine and soft sand, welcomes thousands of tourists every year, pampered by the Mediterranean climate, by the beauty of the sea, the nightlife and the natural charm in which it is endowed. Despite being famous for its beaches and its sea, Mallorca is also known for its cultural charm composed of a series of monuments and historical-artistic riches influenced by the many civilizations that dominated the island and made it what it is still today.

There are many villages that can be visited in this small jewel of the Balearic Islands; they are divided into seaside and mountain villages. Starting from the west side of the island we immediately find ourselves in the villages of Estellencs where it is possible to walk quietly among the medieval villages of the town; observing the architecture of the city, the majestic presence of the defense towers and the bell tower of the church immediately catch the eye, both symbols of the defense of the city against the Moors corsairs. From this village it is possible to go on numerous excursions such as a visit to the Natural Park of Dragonera Island. The coastal part of this village, which is called Cala Estellencs, is characterized by the presence of local fishermen boats and by a crystalline sea that allows its tourists to scuba dive and observe all the marine fauna of the island.

Continuing eastwards it is impossible not to visit the village of Valldemossa, one of the most visited of the island, built at the time of the Kingdom of the Moors. This village stands out for the simplicity and sobriety that characterize the architecture of Mallorca. A particularity about this small village are the house walls covered by painted tiles which, according to tradition, protect them from all kinds of misfortune.

Continuing the journey through the hinterland of Majorca we meet Deià, a very small town in the panorama that provides a complete view of the blue sea joining with the sky creating a unique view, almost as an expansion of the heavens. After visiting these little villages the time has come to relax and be pampered by the breeze of the sea and fully enjoy the sun kissing the island for 300 days a year, giving it the title of “Isla del Sol”. The best destinations to enjoy the crystal clear sea are found mostly throughout the island and leave every tourist breathless thanks to the natural spectacle that can be enjoyed. The northern part of the island of Majorca has a facet more suited to young people who love nightlife; the best beaches in this fraction of the island are, for example, Cala Tuent where the sea and the mountains meet creating a suggestive landscape in which fine sand joins the gravel typical of mountain landscapes, leaving space to a clear and clean sea.

The constant alternation of mountain and seascapes gives life to a crazy natural scenery that culminates with hundreds of caves scattered throughout the island. Mallorca in fact hosts about 800 caves but the most visited are just five and among these we find: the caves of Artà.

The caves of Artà are located in the south-eastern part of the island in an area composed of beautiful beaches and areas of great natural interest. The cave consists of two halls, the Vestibule or entrance hall where it is possible to observe the numerous stalactites that hang from the ceiling and the stalagmites that rise from the ground giving life to subjects with a very mysterious appearance: human and animal figures. The second room is the Hall of Columns with its Gothic appearance. The entire cave is characterized by games of light and visions of strange shapes that create an atmosphere full of mystery and at the same time the feeling of being in a dream.

Sostravel.com has chosen Mallorca as an island that confirms itself as a valid destination for those who want to relax in the beautiful beaches and also for those who, instead, want to fully admire the spectacle offered by nature.

A land characterized by exceptional beauty, delicate valleys, national parks and mountains that create breathtaking views.

The Turquoise coast is therefore an excellent destination easily accessible and suitable for sea lovers but also for those who want to combine culture and relax.

Santorini: an island where sand, water and air come together to create an atmosphere worthy of note!

June has just ended. Summer has now officially begun and with it the first summer trips to get away from the usual routine after a very busy year. Whether you love journeys in total relax on crystal-clear beaches or trips full of adventure and adrenaline, the world is full of destinations that reflect your ideal journey. Today sostravel.com focuses on the region of Provence, a gem located in the south-east of France, all worth discovering.

Provence is seen by tourists as a destination characterized by suggestive atmosphere, breathtaking views and splendid villages. A region characterized by a very mild climate thanks to the presence of the sea that warms the winters and freshens the territory during summer months and from the sun that kisses its wonderful landscapes for 12 months a year. A region known for its cultural importance conferred by authors like Dante Alighieri thanks to the numerous quotations in the Divine Comedy and to having been for about seventy years, during the fourteenth century, the home of the popes; it is precisely from the palace of the Popes of Avignon that the visit of the region can begin. A palace characterized by the presence of works of art and by immense gardens whose most characteristic location allows to relive the moments in which the court gathered to judge apostolic events.

Another characteristic of this destination is being known for the lavender fields present in its territories and the scent they give off. To savor these fragrances you cannot miss a visit to the ancient city of Arles. This city is essentially characterized by the ruins of the theater and the Roman amphitheater, once considered the fulcrum of the city, today home of numerous concerts and events in a suggestive atmosphere characterized by Provencal colors and scents. Not far from the city there are numerous lavender fields that make the area appear characterized by shades ranging from lilac to dark purple. For a full immersion in the lavender fields and to savor its scent, we recommend visiting the region in July, the month of their greatest flowering. For the most curious, Provencal lavender meets 80% of the worldwide demand of all products that come from this flower.

For tourists who want to direct their journey towards a full immersion in nature, sostravel.com recommends moving on to Roussillon. Roussillon is a place wrapped in shades of red and ocher that, in contrast with the blue or clear sky, offer its visitors wonderful landscapes to admire. The main feature of this location is how the sun decides what colors to offer its landscapes: depending on the natural light the landscapes will be characterized by a light orange or a dark red.

Thanks to all these characteristics, Provence establishes itself as a region worthy of being considered the most colorful and fragrant in Europe. A region kissed by the sun, full of spectacular natural landscapes. A small corner of paradise where you can get in touch with nature and be fascinated by the emotions transmitted.
