Six Picturesque Alternatives to Mallorca: Where to Go Instead of the Popular Island.

According to The Sun: Love Mallorca but looking for something less crowded and new places to visit? Here are six beautiful alternatives.

Every year, Mallorca becomes increasingly crowded with tourists.

Mdina, Malta

Mdina is known as the old capital of Malta, surrounded by historic walls.

If you have a weakness for the capital of Mallorca, Palma, you will love Mdina in Malta.

While it is much smaller than the city of Mallorca, Mdina has many similarities with Palma, including a warm climate year-round and beautiful, picturesque cobbled streets to wander in its old town.

Known as the "silent city", it is famous for its peaceful atmosphere, with very limited traffic.

Mdina is also one of the best examples of an ancient fortified city in Europe, with an extraordinary history that stretches back 4,000 years.

From its high city walls, you can enjoy stunning views of the island.

La Gomera, Spain

The volcanic island of La Gomera is the second largest of the Canary Islands and attracts visitors with its impressive yet captivating landscapes.

If adventure or hiking vacations are your thing, then you should visit La Gomera.

Famous for its dramatic landscapes, lush forests, steep cliffs, and volcanic formations, the island is also home to Garajonay National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

While the island is not as well-known for its beaches as other Canary Islands, it does have a few secluded spots with black sand.

Similar to other islands in the region, La Gomera enjoys pleasant temperatures year-round. Its low level of light pollution makes it a great place for stargazing.
