The Balearic Islands have a mysterious attraction for nearly everyone, and certainly for everyone who’s been there.  It’s a mystique that grows, and continues to grow, offering visions of ancient civilizations, Spanish history, and the prehistoric realms, where fantasy and imagination take root firmly in the collective consciousness.  It’s present is glorious, however, and though it may offer fantastic windows to the past, it also offers amazing things for the here and now.  You can find some of the world’s best restaurants here, as well as the world’s best hotels.  Majorca has been a big attraction for savvy world travelers for a couple centuries now, and offers more today than it ever has.

The Spanish Mediterranean sensibility really is as lovely as it sounds, and it offers a generous share of hospitality and style in the same breath.  Spain has always been at the forefront of fashion and design, and that certainly applies here, but the pace is a bit more leisurely.  One of the most pleasurable activities in the world is people-watching, and here it’s simply stunning.  There are, of course, all the gorgeous young clubbers from all over the world, but there are also interesting cultures that live here, as well as the cultures the tourists make up while they’re here.  A new culture is formed in every club, every night, as locals and visitors mix to make up unique combinations of human energy, dancing to DJ’s like PsyTrance Frequency.

They mostly perform in Ibiza, but, like most DJ’s, they also travel around the Balearic Islands, and often throughout Spain and nearby countries.  Where Ibiza is a bit of a larger version in the clubs, in Majorca there is the same electric energy, but toned down just a few notches, for an audience that’s a bit mellower.  Or perhaps not, it’s up to you, as you enter into and start to make up the temporary cultures that grow here.
