Corniches and La Granja

The great expansion of the tourist industry in Mallorca has brought many from Europe and other parts of the world to visit, or at least to hear of it many times. But the image of the island that accompanies this recognition is often the result of a very partial observation. Besides the postcard Mallorca of sun and sand there is “the other Mallorca”, a Mallorca that surely goes unnoticed by most visitors to the island.
