Five Seaside Beauties
-
Morning
This itinerary, incorporating driving and walking, will take a full day.
Set out in the morning at lovely Portocristo , with its terrace café-restaurants overlooking the port’s palisades. Pop into Autèntic Mallorca (see Autèntic Mallorca, Portocristo) and be sure to buy some Mallorcan chocolate and other local products.
Bypassing the infamously overdeveloped Cales de Mallorca, Portocolom is next, perhaps the most unspoiled and seductively beautiful fishing village left on the island. Be sure to check out the painted façades of the old town, and walk up to the colourful Bar Els Tamarells (see Bar Els Tamarells, Portocolom) for a drink and to admire the sleepy central square.
Afternoon
Make your way down to Portopetro, a miniscule port that’s lost none of its authenticity. Have lunch at El Campo (see El Campo, between Alquería Blanca and Portopetro) just out of town on the road to Alquería Blanca.
Cala Figuera is further south. Stroll around its woods-encircled harbour and browse the exotic wares at Blauet (see Blauet, Cala Figuera).
On the western side of the Cap de ses Salines, you’ll find Colònia de Sant Jordi, a rangy beach town with a bright, relaxing port. Stop here to have a wonderful fresh fish dinner at Port Blau (see Port Blau, Colònia de Sant Jordi), and maybe spend the night at the quaint Hostal Playa (see Hostal Playa, Colònia Sant Jordi).
