   The weight of history in Spain It is impossible to ignore the evidence of Roman aqueducts, the splendor of Arab architecture in the south, the massive architectural testaments to the imperial centuries when Spain ruled Europe and the New World, or the incomparable richness of the art displayed in the country’s world-class museums... |
The Balearic Islands ,Spain: Sun & Jet-set The only major airport in the Balearics is Palma, so the beautiful island of Majorca is the most practical place to invest. Although there is a reputation for the worst aspects of mass tourism, these areas are restricted (as in much of the Spain) to concentrated areas, namely Palma Bay and Palma Nova leaving the unspoilt atmosphere in the rest of the island untouched. Majorca historically was central a central player in the Mediterranean economy but lost influence as the Americas became more important. Ironically, it was still a backwater until recently, but tourism has now given the islanders the highest disposable income in the whole of Spain. The landscape is diverse with green fertileplains, forested mountains and access to the coast is easy from anywhere on the island. The island is also known as a wealthy celebrity playground for the likes of Boris Becker, Claudia Schiffer, Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones – the size of Palma Marina has to be seen to be believed! On the downside, the island can suffer from the cold Sirocco winds in the winter, and both living costs and property prices are significantly higher than elsewhere in Spain.
