<h1 class="ChapterName">Las Islas Baleares </h1>
<p>While all four islands—Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza, and Formentera—share the crowds, each has a unique style and character that
separates it from the rest. Mallorca, home to the bustling port city of Palma, absorbs the bulk of high-class, package-tour
invaders and reigns as the commercial hub of the Baleares. Ibiza, a haven for counter-culture since the 1960s, entices bohemians
and fashionistas alike with its outlandish parties, transforming crowds into glittering masses grooving to a deafening techno
beat. Menorca, wrapped in green fields, staggering sandstone walls, and placid natural harbors, offers tranquility that the
other islands do not, with secluded white beaches, fabulous hidden coves, and mysterious Bronze Age megaliths. Formentera,
the smallest and most distant island, is sprinkled with a few fishing villages and boutique resorts, and boasts some of the
calmest and most majestic beaches in the Mediterranean.
</p>
<p> Summer, the best time to visit any of the islands, is hot, crowded, and fun, while winter tends to be chilly and slow, as
nightlife does not hit full swing until around early July. Most hours, schedules, and prices listed are for summer only. Low-season
prices at hostels and hotels can drop by up to half, and hours for sights and attractions are often limited.
