Balearic Islands

The autonomous region of the Balearic Islands (Catalan: Illes Balears, Spanish: Islas Baleares), which belongs to Spain and has its capital in Palma (on Mallorca), covers a total of 4,992 km² and is located in the western Mediterranean. The archipelago includes the five main inhabited islands of Mallorca (3,604 km²), Menorca (695 km²), Cabrera (16 km²), Ibiza (572 km²) and Formentera (83 km²). There are also 146 uninhabited islands, including the Dragonera and Pantaleu, which are protected rocky islands. The history has always been strongly linked to Catalonia, which is why Catalan is spoken there today (in addition to Castilian). The centre with Mallorca lies around 260 km east of the Spanish mainland near Valencia. It stretches 260 kilometres from west to east and 120 kilometres from north to south.
