Esporles

This week, we will keep visiting the western parts of Majorca. Today’s stop is represented by a small village tucked up in the Serra de Tramuntana mountains, named Esporles. It succeeded in maintaining a lot of its original charm. When I say that, I’m referring at typical stone faced houses, winding streets, that somehow englobe the quintessence of old times. Hence, a modern touch can be observed in ...

Portocolom

The east coast village of Portocolom is one of the most attractive on the coast of Majorca. It is at almost 12 km away of Cala d’Or. The main beach that Protocolom has is a blue-flagged one, Cala Marcal. It has sandy shallow waters that give it a family-friendly approach. Without any doubt, we are talking about a place in which you can find all the waterfront facilities you would expect from a ...

There are 2 restaurants nearby, both offering good quality food including the traditional paella, fish, tapas, etc. There are no ...

Going back to my favorite part of the island, the southeastern one, today I’m going to present you one tremendous beach: Cala Llombards, a secluded cove beach, situated near Santanyi. With no more than 55 meters long, it has a perfectly defined cone shape. It’s surrounded by steep cliffs and rocky areas and also by pine trees and scrubs. White sand, crystal clear water, it’s the perfect place for ...

Cala Mondragó

Still in the field of the beauties that can be found in the south-eastern parts of Majorca, today we are going to talk about another pristine cove beach, that can be found in a natural park, in Majorca: Cala Mondragó. It is one of the top beaches around here, at only 10 km away from Santanyi. It’s also one of the Majorca’s blue flag beaches, because it has been declared a natural park back in 1992, ...

Because, in this set ...

Looking for a beach escape from the crowds? Residential resorts are too crowdy? Well, Cala Falco is a small, pristine cove beach in the municipality of Calvia.

Here you can find only 45 meters of beach, with no hotels, no shops, just a beautiful beach that has become an ideal escape from the busier ...
