in the Balearics
The
Balearic Islands of Majorca,
Menorca
and Ibiza
have offered attractive bolt holes for many foreigners seeking an
escape from it all, with the result that prices are higher than
on the mainland. Building restrictions are tighter than they have
every been and property is at a premium. The coastlines tend to
offer apartments or villas in new resorts and traditional town houses
in the major towns and villages; while inland you will generally
find casas payesas (cottages), which are usually single-storey buildings
with all of the rooms leading off a main one. Walls are thick, roofs
flat and windows small or non-existent, and frequently there is
a covered area outside.
