Morgan WilliamsActually the winter activities in Majorca are well known. Recently the ITV channel The motor bike show had a feature on touring the island on classic and modern motor cycles. February to April being the best time for that adventure. Cycling in Majorca is promoted by those seriously into that sport. Walking tours and seeing the blossom are run by my island hotel of choice from February. Sadly the flight dead zone from end October to end February to Majorca from U.K. limits take-up on the island. Easter being the first practical date for most when flights are available. So flights to Barcelona for city breaks, Spains costas to do what people do there, Portugal mainly for golf and spas , Rome, Dubai all easily accessible, Balearics not.
Unbeknownst to most Brits, the "rest of the island" has been increasingly thriving in winter for years But shh! don't tell anyone. It would be anti-british to suggest it.
The year is being elongated by the sports tourism which is not going to ease the saturation effect of July and August as they are two very different markets. So to claim it’s spreading out the pressure is utter rubbish.
