| Places to go |
Porto Petro
Only five minutes drive from Cala D'or is this very quite, picturesque harbour and fishing village. You can watch local fishermen arrive with their catches early morning, and buy fresh fish direct from the boat. Porto Petro has some fine waterfront restaurants and bars, ideal for relaxed lunches overlooking the harbour. Diving facilities available.
|
Cala Figuera
This is one of the southeast coast's prettiest little inlets that leads into the narrow harbour lined with traditional fishermen's cottages and waterside cafes.
|
Santanyi
A picturesque Roman town built from the local honey-coloured Mares stone, creating a very warm atmosphere. Visit the excellent market held each Wednesday
and Saturday. A visit to the coffee bar "La Coma" is a must, to soak up the local atmosphere. Within a few minutes'
drive are many pine-clad sandy coves with clear, aquamarine-coloured water.
|
Cala Mondrago and Sa'Marador
Two popular sandy coves joined by a short walk way along the rocks. Crystal clear waters set amidst a backdrop of leaning pine trees that somehow manage to grow their roots between the rocks.
|
Porto Colom
The locals' favourite. An historic fishing port unchanged by time, with quaint centuries, old cottages adjoining the gently lapping waters and sandy bays
|
Soller
Sóller and the port are about half an hour's drive from Palma Airport, and have good connections with railway, tram and bus services. The valley and its surrounding mountain range, the 'Serra de Tramuntana', is a favourite destination for people from all over the world, especially those who enjoy walking, nature, swimming or simply a peaceful rest away from the hustle and bustle of the better-known tourist traps.
|
Caves of Drach
The Caves du Drach are situated close to the marina town of Porto Cristo. These beautiful, natural, limestone caves feature spectacular stalagmites and stalactites and further inside is an auditorium by an underground lake where you are able to enjoy a light show to classical music to highlight the magnificence of the cave formations.
