Majorca, the largest of Spain’s Balearic Islands, is a destination that has to be seen to be believed. Ditch any preconceptions you have about the island because it’s not all parties in Majorca. It has charming Spanish villages, stunning scenery and beaches that are more Caribbean than the Mediterranean. 

In Click&Go, we think everyone should visit Majorca at least once. With regular flights from Dublin, Cork, Shannon, Knock and Belfast from the end of March to the end of October, there’s no excuse to not visit this sun-soaked island.
