Cabrera is an island 15 km south of Mallorca, the largest of the Cabrera Archipelago, and the only one you can land on. The archipelago and a broad swath of the surrounding Mediterranean are a national park and have no permanent inhabitants, though several dozen rangers, coastguards and support staff are stationed on Cabrera.
Llevant de Mallorca
Llevant de Mallorca is in Mallorca. Hills and mountains, fertile fields, cliffs with embedded bays and sandy beaches make the landscape a kind of Mallorca concentrate. Nowhere else on the island are all the elements combined in such a small space.
Pla de Mallorca
Pla de Mallorca is the central region of the island of Mallorca. "Pla" in Catalan or "Llano" in Spanish means a plain - it's Mallorca's flattest and best farmland. Here and there hills rear up, and several are adorned by hermitages.
Migjorn de Mallorca
Migjorn is the southern region of Mallorca. It has a string of resorts along its coast and more traditional towns inland. The west of this region includes S'Arenal, but that's effectively part of the Palma resort strip and isn't described here.
