Articles that include this coast
- Best time to visit Mallorca: weather, sea, the price of a hotel night and how much of the island is open, month by monthTwelve months on Mallorca from the weather service's normals, sea temperature and Spain's hotel statistics: when nine hotel beds in ten close, why December costs more than November, how September differs from June and what is left of the island in winter.
- Cost of living in Mallorca, Menorca and Ibiza: spending, rent and pay from government dataWhat island households spend and on what, what tenants pay in twelve towns on three islands, and what people here earn — with the survey's margin of error, and no guessed baskets.
- Mallorca or Menorca: winter, jobs, rent and prices, measuredSeven places on the two islands, by state data: how much work is left in winter, what tenants pay, the price per square metre on one basis, who the neighbours are, and how far the hospital is.
- Where are the Balearic Islands? Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza and FormenteraSpain, not a country of their own. Which island is where and how far from Barcelona and Valencia, why winter splits the islands, the sea month by month, and the water at each island's beaches.
- Mallorca's beaches by water quality: each beach's record since 1990Every Mallorca beach with an official sampling point: how many seasons in a row its water has been excellent, when it was last poor, and whose record is too short to judge.
- Where property is cheapest on the Spanish coast, on a single price basisThe housing ministry's appraised value, ranked by coast and by town, with the price of a 70 m² flat and local incomes alongside. Asking prices get a list of their own: the two bases never share a ranking.
Median rather than mean: a single expensive spot skews the average for the whole coast. Airports: PMI.
