SPAIN
BRIEF INFO.AND TRAVEL TIPS:-
Spain is divided into three major islands of the Baleares -Mallorca, Menorca and Ibiza. They grouped together in the Mediterranean off Spain's eastern coast, are in fact greatly different in geography, climate and
personality. They are, however, similar gastronomically, featuring wonderful seafood, sobrasada (a spread able chorizo-style sausage) and ensaimadas -spiralled sweet breads.
The island of Mallorca, the largest of the Balearics, is only 75 kilometres from north to south and 100 kilometres from east to west, yet its typically Mediterranean landscape varies from the fertile central lowlands
where fig, almond and orange trees flourish, to the precipitous cliffs of the north-western coast. The city of Palma on the beautiful Bay of Palma is a well-sheltered natural haven.
Mallorca has had international appeal since the last century and is no stranger to romantic trysts; it was here that Chopin and George Sand chose to live and enjoy the island's idyllic setting and excellent weather.
Menorca is the second largest island and although only 48 kilometres long, it is also quite varied geographically. Lobster stew is an island specialty. Travellers is allowed to carry in his or her luggage items for
personal or family use, as well as gifts, as long as they are not considered commercial merchandise for their nature or quality. Customs officials at the border checkpoint will determine this. At present anyone older
than 18 years of age may carry a maximum of 200 cigarettes, 100 small cigars, 50 cigars, or 250 g of cut tobacco. As for alcohol, you are allowed to bring up to one litter of spirits (alcohol content 22º), and two
litters if alcohol content is less than 22º. Fragrances are limited to 50 ml of perfume, and 250 ml of eau de toilette.
