The capital of the island, Palma, is
also the capital of the autonomous community of the Balearic Islands. The
Cabrera Archipelago is administratively grouped with Majorca. The anthem of Majorca is La Balanguera.
Like the other Balearic Islands of
Minorca, Ibiza, and Formentera, the island is an extremely popular holiday
destination, particularly for tourists from Germany, Ireland, Poland, the
Netherlands, the Scandinavian countries, and the United Kingdom. The name
derives from Latin insula maior, "larger island"; later Maiorica,
"the larger one" in comparison to Minorca, "the smaller
one".
