The tourist board have been busy promoting Majorca and the other Balearic Islands for mid August to end September holidays, with Opodo reporting:

People considering a late summer break this year have been offered a number of reasons to choose Spain’s Balearic Islands as their destination.

The tourist board representing the archipelago pointed out that one of the region’s main advantages is its weather, with 300 days of sunshine every year.

Beach lovers will be spoilt for choice in the Balearics, with Salines in Ibiza, Cala Pregonda in Menorca and Es Trenc in Mallorca among the seafront hotspots being recommended.

People who enjoy a bit of celebrity spotting will be in with a good chance of seeing some famous faces on the Spanish islands, according to the tourist board.

Michelle Obama recently visited Mallorca, while Kate Moss regularly enjoys breaks in Ibiza and Formentera and both Claudia Schiffer and Elle Macpherson own villas in the region.

Travellers who enjoy outdoor activities were encouraged to try some of the sports on offer in the Balearics, with both Majorca and Ibiza boasting an extensive network of cycling routes and most islands providing facilities to go scuba diving.

Majorca is set to host an international film festival next year - here’s what the Daily Mail wrote about it:

On your next beach holiday to Mallorca, keep your eyes peeled, you could be rubbing shoulders with some of the world’s top film stars.

The popular holiday island announced today that it is planning to attract celebrities and film buffs from all over the world with an international film festival which will launch in 2011.

The organisers hope the event will provide a new cultural attraction to tourists and put Mallorca on the map in the arts world.

The Balearic Islands already attract many celebrities to their shores. Both Catherine Zeta Jones and Anna Friel own property in Mallorca and the likes of Rod Stewart, Claudia Schiffer and Jack Nicholson have strutted their stuff on its beaches.
