Follow the signposts from the market town of Santanyi to the coastal inlet of Cala Figuera. This is where the Mediterranean pushes its way inland and creates a type of fjord which gives shelter to a small fishing harbour as well as moorings for both pleasure and small scale fishing boats.

Felanitx is a fairly large town situated a few miles inland from Majorca’s east coast. It takes about 20 minutes or so to get there from resorts such as Cala d’Or and Porto Colom by car. In addition, there are both arranged trips and local bus services that will get you there. Felanitx market makes a great day out.

As well as the twice weekly market, Felanitx is also a town of historic interest. The imposing church of San Miguel has it's main entrance at the head of a long flight of white stone steps which take some climbing on a hot day! The building was also the scene of tragedy, when on Palm Sunday 1844, one of the walls of the church collapsed on top of the traditional procession. Out of the 600 people that were buried, 414 were killed and there is a plaque on one of the walls within the church in their memory.

Situated inland from Majorca's East coast, the monastery of San Salvador sits on the top of a mountain overlooking the surrounding countryside. It can be visited by taking the road that runs between Porto Colom and Felanitx.
