El Nuevo Servicio De Autobús Al Llevant Y Migjorn Tendrá Más Frecuencias Actualidad informativa del día: 31/12/2020 N Nota Informativa Conselleria de Mobilitat i Habitatge El nuevo servicio de autobús al Llevant y Migjorn tendrá más frecuencias /En Manacor, Campos y Felanitx hay paradas de enlace con otras líneas de la zona y el tren El nuevo servicio de bus interurbano que empieza con la entrada del año nuevo supone la creación de una nueva red que ofrece coordinación horaria entre líneas para garantizar la conectividad de los diferentes municipios de la zona. Desde el día 10 de diciembre un equipo de informadores del Consorcio de Transportes de Mallorca va informando los usuarios a pie de parada y dentro de los buses de los cambios y mejoras a sus líneas. Puesto que se crean nuevas rutas y se cambia la numeración de las líneas se recomienda a los usuarios de consultar los horarios de invierno a la web www.tib.org o a la misma parada de bus. Alguna de las mejoras más destacables es la creación de dos líneas troncales de alta capacidad y frecuencia que conectan el Llevant i Migjorn con Palma. Se trata, en primer lugar de la línea 401 Cala https://www.caib.es//pidip2front/jsp/es/ficha-convocatoria/9629050 Página 1 de 3 Millor-Manacor-Vilafranca-Palma con 15 frecuencias de ida y 16 de vuelta de lunes a viernes, que representa un incremento de más de 50% de servicio respecto a la línea que sustituye. La segunda línea troncal es la línea 501 que hace el recorrido Manacor-Felanitx- Campos-Llucmajor-Palma con 14 frecuencias de ida y 14 de vuelta de lunes a viernes. Por primera vez, se ofrece una conexión directa entre Llucmajor, Felanitx y Manacor, y se crea una conexión más directo y con más oferta entre Campos y Manacor. A estas dos líneas troncales hay múltiples paradas de enlace que ofrecen conexión horaria con las líneas que recorren los diferentes municipios de las zonas. Los más importantes son la parada de Molí de'n Polit y la de la Estación de tren/Sa Mora en Manacor, la parada estada de acuerdo de la Virgen en Campos y la parada de Paseo Ernest Mestre en Felanitx. Las paradas de enlace hacen posibles nuevas conexiones entre los pueblos. Un primer ejemplo de esto es la nueva conexión entre Algaida y la parada de enlace de Manacor que permite el acceso a los núcleos de Llevant. Por su parte, Sa Ràpita tendrá más conexiones regulares a la parada de enlace de Campos que permite la conectividad con los núcleos de Llevant y MIgjorn. Un buen ejemplo de la reducción del tiempo de trayecto es el caso de los usuarios que viajan desde Llucmajor y Campos a Palma. Ahora ya no se pasa nunca por s'Arenal para llegar a Palma que significa un ahorro de entre 10 y 15 minutos. La conexión entre s'Arenal, Llucmajor y Campos se hace con una línea propia. https://www.caib.es//pidip2front/jsp/es/ficha-convocatoria/9629050 Página 2 de 3 Los municipios de Llevant: Capdepera, Artà, Son Servera, Sant Llorenç y Manacor tendrán servicios cada hora de los días laborables. También los municipios del Migjorn, Santanyí, Ses Salines y Felanitx tienen más frecuencias para ir tanto en Palma como Manacor. Se implementan nuevas conexiones entre Porreres y Llucmajor, entre Porreres y Montuïri y entre Lloret y Sineu. Las poblaciones de la Colònia de Sant Pere, Son Carrió, Son Macià, Cales de Mallorca, Cala Figuera y Sa Ràpita tienen servicio regular en todas las expediciones y dejan de estar atendidas a través de la reserva telefónica del servicio a la demanda. Todo el servicio de la zona Llevant y Migjorn, entre el invierno y la temporada alta, se hace con 81 buses nuevos, de los cuales 73 serán de gas natural comprimido. 4 vehículos serán de propulsión eléctrica y circularán entre Cala Bona y Portocristo a la temporada alta. A partir del 1 de enero la Tarjeta Intermodal se convierte a tarjeta monedero. Las cargas de saldo de la Tarjeta Intermodal se pueden hacer en línea a la web www.tib.org y a partir enero también a bordo de todos los buses y a las estaciones de tren y metro. https://www.caib.es//pidip2front/jsp/es/ficha-convocatoria/9629050 Página 3 de 3.

Eogenetic karst, glacioeustatic cave pools and anchialine environments on Mallorca Island: a discussion of coastal speleogenesis. International Journal of Speleology, 36 (2), 57-67. Bologna (Italy). ISSN 0392-6672. Coastal karst is characterized by special geomorphologic and hydrodynamic conditions as well as by peculiar sedimentary, geochemical, and biospeleological environments. Generally, the more distinctive karstic features produced near the coastline are strongly influenced by sea-level changes, which generate a broad set of interactions between littoral processes and karst development. The glacioeustatic rises and falls of sea level affected the littoral karst in different ways, namely: vertical and horizontal shifts in the shoreline position, changes in elevation of the local water table, and vertical displacements of the halocline. Most eogenetic karsts have been subjected over long time spans to repeated changes of a variety of vertically-zoned geochemical environments: vadose, phreatic meteoric-water, brackish mixing-waters and even marine water. Many coastal caves appear to be passively drowned by Holocene sea-level rise, and to contain glacioeustatic pools of varied size where the current water table intersects formerly air-filled chambers or passages.

  • Island Studies Journal, Vol. 12, No. 1, Pp. 243-254 Toponymy And
    Island Studies Journal, Vol. 12, No. 1, pp. 243-254 Toponymy and nissology: an approach to defining the Balearic Islands’ geographical and cultural character Antoni Ordinas Garau Universitat de les Illes Balears, Spain [email protected] and Jaume Binimelis Sebastián Universitat de les Illes Balears, Spain [email protected] ABSTRACT: The cultural identity of each of the larger islands that make up the Balearic archipelago is shown through the local geographical terminology and toponymy, which are results of the successive overlapping of languages and cultures brought to the islands by various peoples throughout history. By classifying and analyzing the toponymy and geographical terminology of the Balearic Islands, unique particularities can be found. There are differences between each of the islands, as well as with non-island territory, as a result of centuries of isolation. This same isolation has also led to the preservation of terminology and other linguistic aspects, and has created an endemic culture. The results of the records of terminology that contribute to the geographical and cultural characterization of the Balearic Islands are presented along with some keys to understanding the islands’ idiosyncrasies. https://doi.org/10.24043/isj.15 Keywords: Balearic Islands, cultural identity, ethnography, geographical terminology, nissology, toponymy Nissology, geography, and toponymy Despite the course of action begun by Moles (1982) and the opinion of McCall (1996) that the new millennium would be the one of island sciences, to Espínola & Cravidao (2014) who highlighted the contribution of geography to their expertise, nissology1, or islandology, undoubtedly has a promising future. This is true not only because the world is full of islands (Baldacchino, 2006), but because of the valuable role that they play when considering any of the three lines of research suggested by King (2010).

  • BALEARIC ISLANDS Attracting a Range of Visitors Beyond the Party Package Crowd
    © Lonely Planet Publications 648 Balearic Islands BALEARIC ISLANDS Each of these four islands (Islas Baleares in Spanish; Illes Balears in Catalan), floating serenely in the glittering Mediterranean, could be said to have a theme. Mallorca is the senior island, combining a little of everything, from spectacular mountain scenery and hiking through to the standard sea ‘n’ sun tourism. Ibiza is synonymous with clubbing, the island that gave Europe the rave. Menorca is a haven of tranquillity – splendid isolated beaches and coves, and prehistoric monuments standing as taciturn reminders of how small we are in the grand scheme of things. And tiny Formentera, a chill-out island, where some people lose themselves for the entire summer, needing little more to keep them happy than white beaches and sunset parties. Each year a massive multinational force invades the islands in search of a piece of this multifaceted paradise. The total population of the isles barely stands over the million mark, but many times that number are involved in a round-the-clock airlift and disembarkation of sun- and fun-seekers from Easter to October. Surprisingly, the islands have managed to maintain much of their intrinsic beauty. Beyond the high-rise resort hotels, bars and more popular beaches are Gothic cathedrals, Stone Age ruins, fishing villages, spectacular walks, secluded coves, endless olive and almond groves and citrus orchards. And a growing spread of elegant, rural retreats and A-list eateries are attracting a range of visitors beyond the party package crowd.

Mallorca, an island in the Western Mediterranean 1.1. Geographic settings Mallorca is the largest and the most central island of the Balearic Archipelago. The Balearic Islands are located in the middle of the Mediterranean basin, slightly displaced to the West. With a perimeter of approximately 560 km and a surface area of about 3,650 km2, Mallorca is the seventh largest island in the Mediterranean and including Menorca they are the most remote with respect to any continental landmass. The island of Mallorca exhibits a rhomboidal shape (96 x 78 km), with its vertices oriented to the four cardinal points. The northern point is Cap de Formentor, located at 39º 58' N; to the East is Punta de Capdepera, located at 3º 29' E; to the South is Cap de ses Salines, located at 39º 16' N; and to the West is Sant Elm at 2º 21' E. With the rest of the Balearic Islands, Mallorca is part of the emerged area of the so- called Balearic Promontory (Figure 1), a mostly submarine relief stretching from the Southeast of the Iberian Peninsula (Cap de la Nau) to the Northeast (Menorca Island).

These caves are an essential part of Mallorca’s natural heritage.
