Migjorn
The Migjorn district region is located in the southern part of Mallorca, Balearic Islands, although, as we always point out, it has no official recognition. Migjorn is bathed by the Mediterranean Sea and borders Palma, Es Pla or the Plain of Mallorca, and Llevant (Mallorcan Levante). Its economy is based on tourism, agriculture, livestock farming, and the extraction of Santanyí stone, which is used in iconic buildings.
