Articles that include this coast
- Menorca's beaches by water quality: excellent across the island, except near CiutadellaGrades from the European register for every sampling point on Menorca since 1990: the shore near Ciutadella against the rest of the island season by season, a beach with two points and two different grades, a point that stopped being tested, eight municipalities and the sea at our four places month by month.
- 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 or Majorca: one island, two spellings — and what the numbers sayIt is the same island, and the official name is Mallorca. Then the part no spelling guide covers: of the places we cover there, only the capital stays open in winter, and the water varies beach by beach.
- 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: MAH.
