Mallorca Spain
Brief History of Mallorca
One cannot appreciate the full beauty of a place until you know something of its history. Mallorca’s history is a very long and interesting one dating back from the Paleolithic period wherein it’s first inhabitants were settlers that lived along caves near the coastline. The second wave of settlers made dwellings of huge stones called talaiots.
Mallorca was then occupied and ruled by people from Central Asia, the Romans, the Byzantine Empire, and eventually Muslims from North Africa. Each newcomer brought with them new technologies and culture and traditions that until now can be seen in modern Mallorca may it be in the form of structures, agricultural crops, and subtle influences in culture. Mallorca is now free from oppression and endless occupations and is an autonomous region of the Kingdom of Spain (hotels spain ).
