The sapphire Mediterranean spread before you. The sparkling sun, shining over 300 days a year. Smiling locals strolling along cobblestone streets. Quiet roads winding through an island paradise. A glass of beer and a plate of sobrassada at the end of the day. Mallorca and Menorca. From Latin: the bigger one and the smaller one. Twin island paradises—and your home for the next six days.
