About this place

Begin in Mallorca's south-east, where pine-backed calas like Mondragó do a fine Caribbean impression, ferry across to Menorca for the wild coves of the Camí de Cavalls, then end on tiny Formentera, all bicycles and bleached-white sand. Three islands, three tempos, one very smug tan.
