Mallorca is the largest island in the Mediterranean Balearic Islands, which are part of Spain. Mallorca is an extremely popular holiday destination. The Palma de Mallorca Airport, one of the busiest in Spain, is used by about 30 million tourists per year. After the fall of the Western Roman Empire, the island was invaded by the Vandals in 425. The time of the Vandals ended, when Byzantine troops general took the island in 534. The first Muslim arrivals were in 707. These ended the Byzantine domination and established their own hegemony. Until 903, the island was part of the Umayyad Caliphate. From Between 902 and 1229 the island was under Islamic control. James I of Aragon ( aka "Jaume el Conqueridor") conquered Mallorca in December 1229.

East of Cagliari the road follows the coastline to Villasimius, where I stayed for a day. I had time to visit the sandy beaches, sip cappuccinos, tan and watch the waves.

The road (SP105) between Alghero and Bosa follows a spectacular coastline. There are not many beaches, but some pretty breathtaking cliffs.
