Mallorca

Mallorca, one of Spain's Balearic Islands, is the epitome of island serenity.

Mallorca is a stunning site, with miles of gorgeous beaches backed by rugged mountains and low-rise villages.

Lanzarote

Lanzarote, another of the best Spanish islands, is not far from Tenerife's shores. Lanzarote is known for its rich artistic past, but it also has magnificent volcanic scenery. The entire island is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve! Towering black and crimson sand dunes, volcanic caves, and vivid lagoons are just a few of the exotic sites to behold. Timanfaya National Park is, of course, the ideal site to discover Lanzarote's beautiful natural marvels. The park's centerpiece is the same-named volcano. Visitors may see the tremendous volcanic activity at the onsite visitor center, which is still functioning.

If you're traveling with your family, Playa Blanca is a great place to go diving or snorkeling. It also features a vibrant surfing scene and noteworthy architecture designed by César Manrique. Also worth seeing is La Geria, a winery.

Menorca

Stone monuments dating back thousands of years, including fragments of Talayotic, may be found along its 124-mile (200-kilometer) length. Explore the altars, burial chambers, and watchtowers along various pathways around the landscape.
