	Music in the Balearic and Pityusan Islands
		The Balearic Islands, as an administrative unit in Spain, consist of Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza and Formentera.
		Despite their close geographical proximity, Ibiza and Formentera, known as the Pityusan Islands, differ significantly from Mallorca and Menorca with respect to music genres and musical life.
		While the latter have more genres of music and dance, and more musical instruments, certain musical and dance forms of Ibiza and Formentera seem to be unique to these small, long-isolated islands; that is, insularity has functioned in different ways in each set of islands.
