Search Majorca
http://www.searchmajorca.com
Owen Morgan focuses his site on the island of Majorca, the biggest of
the Balearic Island group off the coast of Mediterranean Spain. It is a
popular destination for many Europeans and British tourists looking for
sun.

Spain Fun Facts -
Owen
has included the usual facts about Majorca, ie, a list of the capital,
population, weather, size, etc. These give you a good point of quick
comparison to other destinations in Spain that you might be
considering. In his search box on the main page, you can enter "facts"
and find several pages where general and specific facts are to be
found, including maps to make visualizing the island easier. I didn't
find fun facts or really unusual little tidbits, although you might
find them if you look a little deeper through the many pages about
Majorca, Spain.

- Spain Food, Culture
- Of
course, since this site isn't about Spain as a whole, it doesn't talk
much about food of Spain, so not very informative if you are seeking
info about Spain food. Culture? Owen's "History of Majorca" page gives
a very good and easy-to-follow rundown on the history (and cultures)
dominating the past of Majorca, the influence of those cultures of
those conquerors on the island, and some info on how history has
affected the present culture there. Again, there is not a lot of depth
but the overview is covered well.

- Budget Travel, Spain
- A lot of us are interested in budget travel to Spain (or elsewhere).
After some background on Majorca's main airport (like it handles 20
million people a year), Owen hones right in a new, cheaper airline
flying from England directly to Majorca. Since flights are probably the
most expensive aspect of traveling, this information about budget
travel to Spain is very handy. Also featured is info on how to optimize
budget travel to Spain by flying into Europe first, then booking to
Majorca via cheaper tickets.

- Interesting Facts about
Spain -
As mentioned above, Owen provides the basic rundown of facts like what
you might find on the CIA site (but easier to read here). One of the
things I really liked was his list of Ten Top Spots that each link to a
page on his site. This makes it easy to find info if you don't know
much about Majorca and want a general over view or if you know quite a
bit and are looking for some specific information on one spot.
|
|
- Hotels and Spain -
The second biggest ticket item when traveling is
usually hotels - and Spain, in this case, Majorca - has a good variety
from budget-oriented hotels to luxury hotels. Looking at Owen's site on
Majorca, I find that he provides really valuable information on his
"Majorca Hotels" page. Owen recommends specific hotels for various
purposes, including where to go with kids, hotels from vintage to chic,
hotels from the coast to the mountains, and from budget to luxury.

Andalucia

Interesting Facts about
Spain -
Although I didn't find a fun facts or regular facts page per se (I
could have missed it), there is information on Andalucia Travel Guide
that I don't usually see on travel sites - like the page "Andalucia for Kids" (that's me),
and also "Andalucia Summary,"
a good overall view plus some tidbits about living in Andalucia, Spain.
-
Spain Food, Culture-
Ummm, the Spain food page is one page I really liked. They say don't
go shopping when you're hungry...that applies to looking at the
delicious recipes on the internet. Just reading the ingredients list on
the "Pollos al Limon" page got me salivating - and there are a number
of recipes to try.

- Budget Travel, Spain
- The page on Getting There has a link at the bottom that takes you
straight to the TripAdvisor page on Andalucia where you can get
opinions, info, flights, hotel information from the owners and even
better, other travelers.

Hotels and Spain -
"Wow,
where to start!? 'Andalucia hotels' is such a broad term due to the
size of the region, but let us help you decide on something suitable
for you." That's how the Andalucia Hotels page begins. After some
information, the site states that it is adding hotel and site specific
lodging. Indeed, I see at least 5 pages where you can get in-depth
information on where to stay in Andalucia, Spain
