Balearic Sea

Balearic Sea

The Balearic Sea is a body of water in the Mediterranean Sea around the Balearic Islands. In the Catalan linguistic area is also know as Catalan-Balearic Sea ("Mar Catalanobalear") due to one important area of the Balearic Sea is the Catalan Sea, between Iberian Peninsula and Balearic Islands. There is some confusion between Balearic Sea and Catalan Sea use, as Catalan Sea is part of Balearic Sea and clear limits for Balearic Sea are not defined.

The Ebro River flows into this small sea.
