Majorca Holidays - Fantastic Beaches
Mallorca is also a popular spelling of course because that’s how it’s spelled in Catalan Spanish. Either way let’s pronounce it correctly please: ‘My Orca’ or maybe ‘Mah Yorka’ or thereabouts. That’s closest to the Latin etymology, which has the name: Maiorica, marked down in history as meaning ‘major island’. You know how we like you to talk proper-like at Beat the Brochure. Oh yes, Catalan is one of the ‘Romance languages’, still spoken by about 12 million people and descended from Latin. Back in the sun on Majorca little of this is important of course, as long as you can order a beer (‘una cerveza por favor’) and ask where the lavvy is (‘donde ser servicio’) you’re laughing. Bob’s your uncle.
