Majorca is La Balanguera.Like the other Balearic Islands of Minorca, Ibiza, and Formentera, the island is an extremely popular holidaydestination, particularly for tourists from Germany, Ireland, Poland, the Scandinavian countries, and the UnitedKingdom. The name derives from Latin insula maior, "larger island"; later Maiorica, "the larger one" in comparisonto Minorca, "the smaller one".

History

Founding of Majorca

Prehistoric settlements

Little is recorded on the earliest inhabitants of the island. Burial chambers and traces of habitation from thePaleolithic period (6000–4000 BCE) have been discovered, particularly the prehistoric settlements called talaiots, ortalayots. They are Bronze Age megaliths forming part of the Talaiotic Culture. A non-exhaustive list is thefollowing:

Example of prehistoric talaiot inMajorca

• Capocorb Vell (Llucmajor municipality)• Necròpoli de Son Real (east of Can Picafort, Santa Margalida municipality)• Novetiforme Alemany (Magaluf, Calvià)• Poblat Talaiòtic de S’Illot (S’Illot, Sant Llorenç des Cardassar municipality)• Poblat Talaiòtic de Son Fornés (Montuïri municipality)• Sa Canova de Morell (road to Colònia de Sant Pere, Artà municipality)• Ses Païsses (Artà municipality)• Ses Talaies de Can Jordi (Santanyí municipality)

• S’Hospitalet Vell (road to Cales de Mallorca, Manacor municipality)

Ruins of the Roman city of Pollentia

Roman Empire and Late Antiquity

The island was occupied by the Romans in 123 BCE under QuintusCaecilius Metellus Balearicus. It flourished under Roman rule, duringwhich time the towns of Pollentia (Alcúdia), and Palmaria (Palma) werefounded. In addition, the northern town of Bocchoris, dating back topre-Roman times, was a federated city to Rome.[3] The local economywas largely driven by olive cultivation, viticulture, and salt mining.Majorcan soldiers[4] were valued within the Roman legions for their skillwith the sling.

In 427, Gunderic and the Vandals captured the island. Roman rule was not restored until 465. Geiseric, son ofGunderic, governed Majorca, using it as his base to loot and plunder the Mediterranean.[5]

Middle Age and Modern History

Dark Ages

In 534, Majorca was conquered by the Byzantine Empire, led by Apollinarius, and administered as part of theprovince of Sardinia (see also Gymnesian Islands). Under Byzantine rule, Christianity flourished and numerouschurches were built.From 707, the island was increasingly attacked by Muslim raiders from North Africa. Recurrent invasions led theislanders to petition Charlemagne for help.

Moorish Majorca

Arab Baths in Palma

In 902, Issam al-Hawlaní (Arabic: عصام الخوالني) conquered the Balearic Islands,ushering in a new period of prosperity under the Emirate of Córdoba. The town ofPalma was reshaped and expanded, and became known as Medina Mayurqa. Later on,with the Caliphate of Córdoba at its height, the Moors improved agriculture withirrigation and developed local industries.

After the Caliphate was dismembered in 1015, a new, more decadent era started.Majorca came under rule by the Taifa of Dénia, and from 1087 to 1114 was anindependent Taifa. During that period the island was visited by Ibn Hazm (Arabic: أبو

However, in 1114, an expedition of Pisans and .(محمد علي بن احمد بن سعيد بن حزمCatalans, led by Ramon Berenguer III, Count of Barcelona, overran the island, layingsiege to Palma for eight months.

After the city fell, the invaders retreated due to problems in their own lands, and were replaced by the Almoravidesfrom North Africa, who ruled until 1176. The Almoravides were replaced by the Almohad dynasty until 1229. AbúYahya was the last Moorish leader of Majorca.[6]

Medieval Majorca

In the ensuing confusion and unrest, King James I of Aragon launched an invasion which landed on Santa Ponça,Majorca, on September 8–9, 1229 with 15,000 men and 1,500 horses, entering the city of Medina Mayurqa onDecember 31, 1229, and annexing the island to his Crown of Aragon after a campaign which climaxed on October30, 1230.After the death of James I in 1276, his kingdom was divided between his two sons. James II became king of the new,and brief, Kingdom of Majorca. In 1285, Alfonso III of Aragon, son of Peter III of Aragon, seized power and hisuncle James was forced to flee the island.The successor of Alfonso III returned the power to James II. After his death in 1311, he was succeeded by his sonSancho I of Majorca. James III, nephew of Sancho, and only nine years old, became king in 1324. However, in 1344,King Peter IV of Aragon invaded, and re-incorporated the island into the Crown. James III was forced to flee toRosselló.

Modern Era

From 1479, the Crown of Aragon was in dynastic union with that of Castile. The Barbary corsairs of North Africa often attacked the Balearic Islands, and in response coastal watchtowers and fortified churches were erected. In 1570, King Philip II of Spain and his advisors were considering complete evacuation of the Balearic islands.[7] In the early 18th century, the War of the Spanish Succession resulted in the replacement of that dynastic union with a unified Spanish monarchy. In 1716 the Nueva Planta decrees made Majorca part of the Spanish province of Baleares, roughly the same to present-day Illes Balears province and autonomous community. In 1891 a disease destroyed Majorca’s vineyards and decimated the island's main source of income. From 1891 to 1895 Majorca

witnessed a major emigration of islanders to mainland Spain and to the Americas.

20th century and today

Population growth of Palma de Majorca(1900–2005)

A Nationalist stronghold at the start of the Spanish Civil War, Majorcawas subjected to an amphibious landing, on August 16, 1936, aimed atdriving the Nationalists from Majorca and reclaiming the island for theRepublic. Although the Republicans heavily outnumbered theiropponents and managed to push 12 kilometres (7.5 mi) inland, superiorNationalist air power mainly provided by Fascist Italy forced theRepublicans to retreat and to leave the island completely by September12. Those events became known as the Battle of Majorca.

For the rest of the civil war the island was used as a base for theNationalist navy and airforce, who mounted raids on the Spanishmainland.Since the 1950s, the advent of mass tourism has transformed the island into a centre of attraction for foreign visitorsand attracting workers from mainland Spain. The boom in tourism caused Palma to grow significantly. In 1960,Majorca received 500,000 visitors, while in 1997, it received 6,739,700. In 2008, 22,832,865 passengers passedthrough the Palma de Mallorca Airport with an additional 1.5 million arriving by sea.In the 21st century, urban redevelopment, under the so‑called Pla Mirall (English "Mirror Plan"), attracted groups ofimmigrant workers from outside the European Union, especially from Africa and South America.[8]

Palma

admiral Piri Reis

The capital of Majorca, Palma, was founded as a Roman camp called Palmaria uponthe remains of a Talaiotic settlement. The turbulent history of the city saw it subject toseveral Vandal sackings during the fall of the Roman Empire. It was later reconqueredby the Byzantines, colonised by the Moors (who called it Medina Mayurqa), andfinally established by James I of Aragon. In 1983, Palma became the capital of theautonomous region of the Balearic Islands.

Majorcan cartographic school

Majorca has a long history of seafaring. The Majorcan cartographic school or the"Catalan school" refers to a collection of cartographers, cosmographers, andnavigational instrument-makers that flourished in Majorca and partly in mainlandCatalonia in the 13th, 14th, and 15th centuries. Majorcan cosmographers andcartographers developed breakthroughs in cartographic techniques, namely the"normal portolan chart", which was fine-tuned for navigational use and the plotting by compass of navigationalroutes, prerequisites for the discovery of the New World.

Topography

Regions

Majorca has two mountainous regions each about 70 km (43 mi) inlength. These occupy the north-western (Serra de Tramuntana orTramuntana range) and eastern thirds of the island. The highest peakon Majorca is Puig Major at 1,445 m (4,741 ft) in the Serra deTramuntana. As this is a military zone, the neighbouring peak at Puigde Massanella is the highest accessible peak at 1,364 m (4,475 ft). Thenortheast coast comprises two bays: the Badia de Pollença and thelarger Badia d'Alcúdia. The northern coast is rugged and has manycliffs. The central zone extending from Palma is generally flat, fertileplain known as Es Pla. The island has a variety of caves both aboveand below sea-level. Two of the caves above sea-level also containunderground lakes and are open to tours. Both are near the easterncoastal town of Porto Cristo, the Coves dels Hams and the Coves delDrach. It is the largest by area and second most populated island ofSpain (after Tenerife in the Canary Islands).[13] The climate isMediterranean, with markedly higher precipitation in the Serra deTramuntana. Summers are hot in the plains and winters mild to cool,getting colder in the Tramuntana range; in this part of the island briefepisodes of snow during the winter are not unusual.

There are two small islands off the coast of Majorca: Cabrera(southeast of Palma) and Dragonera (west of Palma).

Culture

Archduke Ludwig Salvator of Austria

A sculpture of Ludwig Salvator, inMajorca

The Archduke Ludwig Salvator of Austria (Catalan: Arxiduc Lluís Salvador)was the precursor of tourism in the Balearic Islands. He first arrived in 1867,travelling under his title of Count of Neuendorf. He later settled on Majorca,buying up wild areas of land in order to preserve and enjoy them. Nowadays,some trekking routes are named after him.[15]

Ludwig Salvator loved the island of Majorca, learned its dialect and carried outresearch into its flora and fauna, history and culture to produce his main work,Die Balearen, an extremely comprehensive collection of books about theBalearic Islands, consisting of 7 volumes. It took him 22 years to complete.

Chopin in Majorca

Chopin's piano in Valldemossa, Majorca

Together with French writer George Sand, the Polish composer andpianist Frédéric Chopin resided in Valldemossa in winter of 1838-39.Apparently, Chopin's health had already deteriorated and his doctorrecommended him to go to the Balearic Islands, where he still spent arather miserable winter. Nonetheless, the winter in Majorca is consideredone of the most productive periods in Chopin's life. He had time enoughto complete a number of works: some Preludes, Op. 28; a revision of theBallade No. 2, Op. 38; two Polonaises, Op. 40; the Scherzo No. 3,Op. 39; the Mazurka in E minor from Op. 41; and he probably revisitedhis Sonata No. 2, Op. 35.

Literature and painting

George Sand described her stay in Majorca in A Winter in Majorca,published in 1855. Other famous writers used Majorca as the setting fortheir works. While in the island, the Nicaraguan poet Rubén Darío startedwriting the novel El oro de Mallorca, and wrote several poems, such asLa isla de oro. Many of the works of the acclaimed Baltasar Porcel take place in Majorca, and have been translatedinto several languages.

Agatha Christie also visited the island in the early 20th century and stayed in Palma and Port de Pollença. She wouldlater write the book Problem at Pollensa Bay and Other Stories, a collection of short stories, of which the first onetakes place in Port de Pollença, starring Mr Parker Pyne.Joan Miró had close ties to the island throughout his entire life. He settled permanently in Majorca in 1954,[16] andhe had already married Pilar Juncosa in Palma, in 1929. Nowadays, the Fundació Pilar i Joan Miró in Majorca hasan important collection of his works.The contemporary painter Miquel Barceló was born in Majorca, and has produced a number of works there, forinstance, the sculptures in the cathedral la Seu.

Notable Majorcans

Ars magna, by Ramon Llull

Writer and philosopher, logician and friar Ramon Llull, who wrote the firstmajor work of Catalan Literature; and Junípero Serra, the Franciscan friarwho founded the mission chain in Alta California are from Majorca.

In the Medieval era, Moorish historian Al-Humaydī was born on the island in1029. Others are Abraham Cresques, a 14th-century Jewish cartographer ofthe Majorcan cartographic school from Palma, believed to be the author of theCatalan Atlas. From the 19th century, the military commander JoaquínJovellar y Soler and two-time Spanish Prime Minister Antonio Maura.

Basketball player Rudy Fernández and former world no. 1 tennis playersRafael Nadal and Carlos Moyá. Rafael Nadal is the nephew of formerSpanish international footballer Miguel Ángel Nadal. In 2006 Majorcan JorgeLorenzo won the world 250cc Grand Prix motorcycle title and the 2010 and2012 MotoGP World Championships.

Painters José María Sicilia and Astrid Colomar were born in Mallorca. Maria del Mar Bonet and her brother JoanRamon Bonet are members of the group of Mallorcan language singers known as Els Setze Jutges in the 1960s.Contemporary pop group Antònia Font sings in the Majorcan dialect of Catalán. The island is also home to danceartist and producer DJ Sammy. Flemish painter Jean Emile Oosterlynck lived on the island from 1979 until his deathin 1996.

LanguageMajorca's own language is Mallorcan, the local variety of Catalan language.[17] The two official languages ofMajorca are Mallorcan and Spanish. The local dialect is Mallorquí, with slightly different variants in most villages.Majorcan students are obliged to become bilingual in Catalan and Spanish, with some knowledge of English. Asignificant number of the tourist population speaks German as a native language, so much so that in Germany,Majorca is jokingly referred to as the 17th Federal State. In 2012 the governing party announced its intention to endpreferential treatment for Catalan in the schools to bring parity to the two languages of the island. This could leadMallorquinese Catalan to become extinct in the fairly near future, as it is being used currently in a situation ofdiglossia in favor of Spanish language, which has been happening since, after the marriage of the CatholicMonarchs, the Catalan nobility intermarried with Castillian nobility in the late 15th century.[18]

EconomySince the 1950s Majorca has become a major tourist destination, and the tourism business has become the mainsource of revenue for the island. In 2001, the island received millions of tourists, and the boom in the tourismindustry has provided significant growth in the economy of the country. More than half of the population works inthe tourist sector, which accounts for approximately 80% of Majorca’s GDP. The currency currently used in Majorcais the euro.

Politics and government

The Spanish Royal Family in Majorca

The members of the Spanish Royal Family spend their summer holidays[19]

in Majorca where the Marivent Palace is located.[20] The Marivent Palace is the royal family's summer residence.While most royal residences are administered by Patrimonio Nacional, the Marivent Palace, in Palma de Mallorca,one of many Spanish royal sites, is under the care of Government of the Balearic Islands. As a private residence it israrely used for official business. Typically, the whole family meets there and on the Fortuna yacht, where they take

part in sailing competitions.[21] The Marivent Palace is used for some unofficial business, as when President Hugo Chávez of Venezuela visited King Juan Carlos in 2008[22] to mend their relationship and normalize diplomatic
