| | Judaic Research in <b>Balearicb> Islands and Sao Tome |
 | | The king wanted to colonize the islands of Sao Tome Y Principe (to "whiten the race," as he put it), but the Portuguese did not relish settling in the fever- and crocodile-infested islands. | | | There was a small influx of Jewish cocoa and sugar traders to the islands in the 19th and 20th centuries, two of whom are buried in the Sao Tome cemetery. | | | When the Jews of the controlling island of Majorca had only two choices in the 15th century -- flee or convert -- a community of Jews continued there, protected by the islanders. |

| | The three major islands of the Baleares -Mallorca, Menorca and Ibiza- although grouped together in the Mediterranean off Spain's eastern coast, are in fact greatly different in geography, climate and personality. | | | The island of Mallorca, the largest of the Balearics, is only 75 kilometers from north to south and 100 kilometers from east to west, yet its typically Mediterranean landscape varies from the fertile central lowlands where fig, almond and orange trees flourish, to the precipitous cliffs of the northwestern coast. | | | In summer the young international jet setters converge on the island to revel in the sun and sea by day and to partake in the island's vibrant "anything goes" night life when the sun goes down. |
