Go on a tour of discovery In the well-known yacht basin, which you can reach by foot and is well worth a visit, you will find the small Mallorcan fishing boats anchored next to luxury yachts. Cafes and restaurants are plentiful along the promenade and here one can easily forget the time, whilst watching the people going about their daily lives in the harbour.
The pedestrian area of Cala d'Or combines kitsch and the fine arts – an area where you can find some little gifts in typical Mallorcan souvenir shops, or you can do your shopping in the discrete ambient of a first class boutique.
In just a few minutes by car you can reach various interesting sight-seeing points, e.g. the famous San Salvador monastery, or the Dragon Caves known for their out-of-the-ordinary stalactite formations.
The artistic village of Santanyi, well-known for its weekly markets on Wednesdays or Saturdays, is also worth a visit. Somewhat more turbulent, nevertheless typically Mallorcan, is the market in Felanitx which operates on Sundays with stalls of every kind in and around the old market halls. |
