Along the west coast are the Sierra de Tramuntana mountains with pine covered sides that tower over the plains and stand tall and proud over the deep blue sea.
The interior of the island is covered with lush pine forest, olive and almond trees with the central plains being the centre for a thriving agricultural and wine making industry.
