Of all the Balearic Islands Mallorca, the only island is well-protected from the winds and therefore the risk of bad weather on it is minimal. The island is relatively close to Europe and has long become synonymous with budget tourism. Each of the island has its own groups of tourists.
Mallorca Germans love most. On the island there are small villages of German pensioners with composite shops and doctors. But the cult German part of the island is not anklava of German pensioners, but the coast site to the west of the capital La Palma and Lyukmaior (Llucmajor). The well-equipped line of sandy beaches from the embankment begins from C'Aartenal (Balnearos from 1Do 4), leads through the CAN PASTILL (Balnearos from 5DO 9) and ends in Dresses de Palma (Balneos from 9 to 15).

The heart of German Mallorca is S'Arenal (S'aarenal) and the embankment adjacent to him from Balnearos 4 and to Balneros 9. Hotels are so tight as you can imagine. Hotels, by the way, most pretty old. They are built in the 60s and if you want comfort and silence, then you should not go here.
Balnearos (Balneario) is the beer bars "glass", built directly on the waterfront. They are numbered from Nº 1 to Nº 15. The Germans call them Balemian and especially famous located in the center of "Balemann 6". The German Bakemann in Slang means very very drunk shooters. Actually because the Germans immediately renamed them to Balemann. In 1997, the German filmmond "Balemnn 6" appeared.
"Balemann 6" (Ballermann 6) is a film about the rest of the two German struck on Mallorca, immediately became cult. The phrase "Well, finally, normal people" (Endlich Normale Leute) are now pronounced by the Germans, for example, when you see a terribly drunk and noisy company. Spaniards of course struggle with such an image of S'Aarnalal. Well, for example, they were forbidden to sell Sangria's sweet fastened wine with buckets and limited the time of selling alcohol. But the merchants now just fold bottles in the buckets and sell it as a set, hinting on the tradition of drinking beer and wine from plastic buckets (Eimersaufen). The Germans are celebrating Oktoberfest in Mallorca, there are a disco Riu Palace, German OberBayern institutions (Oberbayern, i.e. Upper Bavaria), Bierkönig (Birkenig, i.e. beer king), Mega-Park. There are entire groups of students and senior schoolchildren and generally all wishing to relax. By the way, in Germany in the saunas, women and men are accustomed to be together bare and therefore the Germans can change clothes on vacation not only right on the beach, but also go to the hotel balconies, to enter the water in what mother gave birth to a bottle of beer in her hand, so don't be afraid : For C'Aartenal, all this is absolutely normal!
It is also honest to say that all that is east of La Palma is exactly the same English enclave, it is simply less known. And the western part of the island is basically a family holiday place. In the north, tourism is developed less, and the mountainous eastern part of the island, where the hotels are less, but they are more expensive to offer more bourgeois rest. By the way, it is located there and the residence of the King of Spain. However, the main image of Mallorca - the budget German holiday was created precisely by its southern coast to the west of La Palma. And if you want to relax and "walk", then focus on Balemann 6!
