Baeleric or Canary Islands?
 
Anyone have a suggestion on which to choose? Looking to break up a mainland Spain vacation for a couple of days in June...

For just a couple of days..Balearic Islands. The plane trip to Canary Islands take three and a half hours to go and another three 1/2 to come back :)

thanks kenderina...have seen lots of good information on this site from you. Any specific island? Ibiza sounds likr Party Central--probably too much for us!

Yes, definitely Ibiza is Party Central all day long !!
For scenery and a peaceful location..Menorca. Formentera is also very beautiful but has nothing to see, it's just relax. And Majorca, which its the biggest one, has a bit of it all..zones for party, zones quieter and scenic and the capital, Majorca, a medium-sized beautiful city :)

kenderina.. you are getting tired! Palma is the capital!!!

good suggestions.
ibiza is not SOOOOO busy in june yet, and does have a bohemian atmosphere to it. formentera would be very relaxing. for some it is their favorite island.

menorca is more windy, but a very manageable size.very picturesque, more dramatic, as is mallorca.

mallorca is very big but surprisingly has a lot of secluded but accessible places, with something for everyone.

soller and deia are quite nice.an
old train takes you from palma to soller. then tram to beach, there. makes a nice day trip.

they are all nice so and worth a visit so i personally would probably decide depending on the airfare and hotel prices.. ( frugal woman here.)
