Travel show. Angela Scanlon and Joe Lindsay report from the Balearic island of Majorca to find out why the island is a perennial holiday favourite.

Joe Lindsay and Angela Scanlon report from the Spanish island of Majorca to find out why the island is a perennial holiday favourite. They kick off on the beach in Santa Ponsa, a resort hugely popular with British and Irish tourists. Highlights include a helicopter ride over the coast, a scenic train journey to the upmarket resort of Soller and a yoga retreat at a Spanish mansion. Joe and Angela also visit an orange grove, see Palma's 'cathedral of light' and pay homage to the island's pirate heritage when Angela walks the plank!

In the short getaway, Joe is in Athlone where he takes a sailing lesson on Lough Ree and explores an impressive new sculpture park in the Lough Boora Parklands.

Helicopter Tour

Helicopter Tour
With so many of our Getaways viewers recommending that we have to see the island from the sky, who were we to resist. While it is not one of the cheaper options for getting around (£78 per person for 15 minutes) it is hard to say no to when you see the views on offer.
