Welcome to the panoramas of Mallorca:

Mallorca is one of the most famous tourist destinations in Europe. Therefore you will be able to find thousands of photos in the internet, in books and catalogues. One of those pictures gives you a first idea of what Mallorca may look like. However, it is only a real spherical panorama of excellent resolution that lets you feel as if you were there. This is the idea that drives this page. Providing you the best panoramas available for the island of Mallorca. In about 10 years time, something like Google Earth will have vectorized most of the world. However, the panoramas on this page will remain unique for its time. The aim is to have 500 panoramas in the end. The map of the island is divided into 19 zones, with more detailed maps which allow for an exact determination of a  panorama's location.

Editor's choice:

Taking this panorama was a real challenge. Not only was it a real stretch to get to the place, but once there, at the edge of the rocks looking down more than 100 metres was a real thrill. The wind did not make it easier at all, with all the tree moving. A lot of editing was necessary to get the panorama finalized.


Known Issues:

Some panos contain flare, tripod shades and slight misalignments. It is a matter of time in the end.

Technical Information:

All panoramas are made for quicktime. The plug-in is available for free from http://www.apple.com.

Please keep in mind, that Quicktime is an Active-X and you need to allow those to be executed in your browser options. This site does not contain malware or any exploit code whatsoever.

With the exception of only a few, most panoramas are of very high quality, made up of a total of up to 72 million pixel. As a result the file sizes range from 1 to 15 Mb. Loading the panoramas may therefore take a while. You should have a high-speed internet connection to enjoy them best. If you get an error from Quicktime, which occacionally may happen, you unfortunately  have to re-boot your machine.

Thank you Maria for your patience & help with the tripod, Daniel for his suggestions and all those who have been helpful when taking the panoramas.
