Very good reasoning.

You’re thinking like a strategist now.

You already have:

Gran Canaria → Winter sun, Atlantic, year-round appeal
Crete → Mediterranean, car-heavy exploration
Rome → Cultural city
London → Expensive weekend city
Lisbon → Value city

Now we add:

Palma de Mallorca (Mallorca anchor)

Mallorca is powerful because:

Extremely popular with Scandinavian families
Strong 7-day package market
Easier logistics than Crete
Stronger summer season than Gran Canaria
Perfect for future comparison articles
