Portocolom - the name alone evokes longings for sea breezes and quiet days at the harbor. This picturesque coastal town in the east of Mallorca has somehow managed to escape the hustle and bustle of other vacation resorts and preserve its Authentic flair to preserve it. Once a modest Fishing portwhich is dependent on the export of wine from the nearby vineyards of Pla i Llevant today, Portocolom is a relaxed retreat that offers both Tradition as well as modern comfort offers.
A harbor for nostalgics and explorers
If you are interested in the Waterfront promenade you will soon realize: Life has its very own rhythm here. Fishing boats bob gently in the water, while the modern Yachts almost a little lost among the old Llaut boats feel. And who knows, you might even find a trace of Christopher Columbus in one of the colorful houses on the harbor - some claim that the great explorer was born right here. Is that true? That remains a mystery, but the Maritime nostalgia is genuine in any case.
"Baños de Cleo" and the call of the sea
For the adventurous, the path leads out to the famous Baños de Cleo. These small, natural pools that run along the cliffs of Playa s'Arenal all the way to the lighthouse Sa Punta are a true Secret hiding place. Sure, you have to climb a little - and sturdy shoes wouldn't be the worst idea - but it's worth the effort. Crystal-clear water awaits you here, so inviting that it's almost impossible not to jump in. So, pack your Snorkeling equipment and let yourself be enchanted by the sea!
Beach days at Cala Marcal
If you would rather spend a relaxing day at the beach, the Cala Marcal just the right thing. The soft sand and gently sloping water make this beach the perfect place for families and anyone who likes it quiet. The Blue flag confirmed: The water quality here is just right - and the view is priceless anyway. For those looking for adventure, the Mallorca Diving School guided Dives where you can explore the underwater world of the breathtaking bays.
Culinary discoveries at the harbor
After a day full of discoveries and perhaps a dip or two in the sea, it's time to relax at the Es Riuetó Pier to settle down. The pastel-colored houses glow in the evening sun, and the traditional restaurants along the promenade attract visitors with freshly caught seafood. Here you can dine as you would in a real harbor - right on the water and with a light breeze that only makes dinner even better. From simple bistros to upscale eateries, you'll find everything you could possibly want here. Gourmet heart coveted.
A place to relax - not to party
Party animals, be warned: Portocolom is not a place where night turns into day. It's more about enjoying the sunset while the boats bob in the harbor or ending the day with a glass of wine on one of the terraces by the marina. The Live music in summer attracts many locals, but the real attraction lies in the Rest and the Naturethat surrounds the village.
