Mallorca and Majorca, they both have main cities called Palma. They are 2 different places? How confusing!!

Can anyone clear this up for me??

Also would you recommend either?? Have you been?

Thanks

I am definately not a troll.
It was possibly a very dumb question but if people did not ask questions they might never learn so much.
I really thought they were 2 islands close to each other, and then discovered they had the same name and thought surely not.
I thought my geography was good, they say you learn something new every day!

easy mistake to make sweettra, the `ll` is the Spanish for `j` the island was named by the Romans and, as it is larger than it`s neighbour menorca (Latin for minor island), it was named mallorca (Latin for major island), so you have gained from your question and learned two things, one is the answer to your question and the second is that there are some nasty b******* on answers.
and yes i have been, there is something for eveyone on mallorca, nice beeches, quite lively in magaluf, more for families on the west coast.

Mallorca and Majorca are the same island, just different spellings.

Its ok. has beaches, shops, bars, clubs, mountains etc

Firstly, Mallorca and Majorca is the same place. Majorca with the hard 'J' is the spelling used primarily by the English and Americans. Mallorca is the Spanish spelling used by the locals.

Palma is the capital of Mallorca, and is sometimes also referred to as Palma de Mallorca (Palma of Mallorca). Mallorca is a beautiful island with lots to offer all year round. If you are into hiking and bike trails, it is nicer to visit in the cooler months (Oct-Apr), but if you're into the beach, then go there in the summer.

I found this site to be a nice introduction to Mallorca and what the island has to offer: http://www.allthingsmallorca.com
