Sightseeing

Viewpoint of Na Burguesa

Na Burguesa is the hill overviewing Palma. At a height of 440 metres it has perfect views over Palma’s bay and most of Majorca. To get there you must take the Genova junction on the motorway, once in Genova follow the signs for Na Burguesa. The road up to the view point is narrow and with more than 15 turns, but easily driven in second gear. At night time it is one of the most romantic points in Majorca. 

Coves del Drac - near Porto Cristo Majorca

The Coves del Drac (The Dragon Caves) are located about half a mile out of Portocristo and are well worth a visit. They have been known for about 3000 years and in 1339 the Governor of Majorca sent men down into the blackness of the caves - their mission was to locate the missing treasure of the Knights Templar which was said to have been secreted down in the caverns of the Coves del Drac after vanishing when the Order was suppressed. It is not actually known if they were successful in finding anything however.

Take a Good Long Walk - at Sa Coma, Majorca

Further up the east coast, after passing through Porto Christo going north, you will find the road signs will start directing you to such towns as Cala Bona, Cala Millor, S'illott and Sa Coma. In fact, it is possible to walk from one to the other and the boundaries seem to blur a little! Sa Coma is one of the first resorts you are directed towards.

Cala Figuera - Majorcan Natural Harbour

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.

Trip to the Monastery at San Salvador - Majorca

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.
