 The tourist resorts of Punta Prima, Binebeca, Alcafar and s'Algar are popular with holidaymakers from northern Europe although these places are fairly quiet compared to the more well-known resorts of Cala'n Bosch and Playa de Son Bou on the north western coast of the island and the Bay of Palma on neighboring Mallorca and the popular Costa del Sol and Costa Blanca on the coast of mainland Spain.Like the rest of Spain, almost every native resident is able to speak Spanish, (sometimes referred to as Castilian).However, the majority of the population can also speak Catalan, which is spoken throughout Catalonia, Valencia, and the Balearic Islands, and even has its own dialect spoken on the island, menorquí, a variant of the Balearic dialect; widespread throughout the Balearics.
