We only discover the stunning Sa Font De Sant Joan beach on our second to last day! Two gorgeous beaches separated by a sandy scramble are just around the headland from where we are staying. It’s stunning but too breezy to go swimming when we visit. The two beaches are beautiful and nearly empty dueContinue reading “Sa Font De Sant Joan”

The two inlets: Caló d’En Boira and Caló d’En Busques are bounded by low cliffs. Here’s some boats gentlyContinue reading “Cala Figuera”
Windmills
Windmills. That is all. Dotted around the Majorcan countryside like quaint relics of a gentler time.
Cala Sant Vicenç
The little resort of Cala Sant Vicenç is our first stop of today’s road trip. Known in Castillian Spanish as Cala San Vincente and in Mallorquin as Cala Sant Vicenc, this is one of the smallest resorts on Mallorca. The main attraction here is the peace, tranquillity and three small beaches. The resort is dividedContinue reading “Cala Sant Vicenç”
It’s all about the water

Beach bums
A 30-minute stroll from Deia village takes you down to Cala Deià – a small rocky cove with a shingle beach. It was very crowded when we finally arrived (via a VERY LONG WALK) so I wasn’t that impressed – but it is still quite pretty, but not worth the walk! Then we’re back onContinue reading “Beach bums”

Fresh from a hot and sticky tour of the beaches we catch another sun set at Morer Vermell harbour. This sleepy little hamlet is nearly deserted during the week despite its endless beautiful villas, with just a handful of occupants. It briefly gets busy at the weekends with out of town rich folk heading toContinue reading “Serene sunsets”
