Explore the Spanish island of Mallorca, the largest of the Balearic islands. If you've already done Barcelona and Madrid, December is a good time to go beyond familiar locales in Spain. Places to Stay: Reid's Palace, A Belmond Hotel, The Cliff Bay, Porto Mare Hotel and Quinta Jardins do Lago. Ride the cable car to reach the Monte Palace Tropical Garden. Visit Câmara de Lobos and consider a tour of Rabaçal, a three-hour walk exploring an evergreen forest, valleys, waterfalls and natural springs. Venture out on the skywalk's suspended glass floor for views of the Atlantic that are beyond spectacular. Take in the view at Cabo Girão, which at over 1,900 feet tall is the highest sea cliff in Europe. Things to Do: For the thrill-seeking couple, there's canyoning, paragliding and hiking. Plus, the area has a legendary New Year's Eve fireworks celebration. Madeira is lovely any time of year, but the holidays are something special, with Madeira spending millions on its Christmas lights and decorations. The Madeira archipelago is located in the Atlantic Ocean about 280 miles from the Canary Islands and 310 miles from the Moroccan coast. Photo : Roberto Moiola / Sysaworld / Getty Images
