Description Taken in Mallorca, summer 2007.Majorca (Spanish and Catalan: Mallorca) is the largest island of Spain. It is located in the Mediterranean Sea and part of the Balearic Islands archipelago. Like the other Balearic Islands, Ibiza, Formentera and Minorca, the island is a popular tourist destination. In Germany and the United Kingdom, where package tourism to the island started in May 1952, Majorca has remained a popular destination. Since the 1960s, it has also become a synonym for mass tourism. The name derives from Latin insula maior, 'larger island'; later Maiorica.The capital of the island, Palma, is also the capital of the autonomous community of the Balearic Islands. The Cabrera archipelago is administratively grouped with Majorca (in the municipality of Palma). The anthem of Majorca is La Balanguera.

J'ai toujours aimé la photo, et ce depuis que je suis toute petite, quand mon père développait des noir & blanc dans le sous-sol. Mais c'est en mettant les pieds en Europe, avec ma nouvelle Canon, que tout s'est mis en place... Enfin j'ai pu commencer à prendre 1001 clichés sans souci d'y passer toutes mes économies... ;-)
