The Mallorca/Majorca region
This area of Majorca has a number of very good beaches, most of which are very accessible from Porto Colom. The main beach of Cala Marcal is about 500m from the centre of town, and takes around 10 minutes to walk to from Porto Colom. During the summer months it's cleaned every morning and has a lifeguard on duty, and as a result it has been awarded the internationally recognised blue flag. The beach slopes gently into the sea and is still only a few feet deep some 15 to 20 yards away from the shore, making it ideal for children. During the summer months it's not uncommon to see organised sports competitions like volley ball and beach football being held here, and sea taxis also depart throughout the day to the nearby beaches at Cala d'Or and Cala Figuera.
Porto Colom area
The resort of Porto Colom is the principle coastal development of the municipal district of Felanitx, on the southern half of the east coast of Majorca. As the crow flies the resort is only around 60km, or 40 miles east of Palma and the Son Sant Joan International airport.
Porto Colom is the site of one of the most important, and best preserved, "Naveta" or prehistoric burial sites on Majorca, and for this reason in 1996 the Department of Prehistory of the University of the Balearic Islands established the archaeology project known as "Projecte Closos of Can Gaià", in an attempt to further understand the ancient civilisations of the island.
Porto Colom still remains a small traditional fishing village that has so far resisted full scale tourist commercialisation. The main feature of the town is the large natural harbour, which is the home to a number of small fishing boats and an ever increasing number of leisure craft. From the harbour looking inland on a clear day, it's also possible to see the Sanctuary of Sant Salvador in the distance.
Around the harbour area there is a fair selection of shops for the everyday holiday essentials, along with more souvenir shops behind the beach at Cala Marcal, and it is here to a large extent, that most of the tourist development has taken place. The town has two reasonably sized supermarkets the first "Ca's Corso", is next to the Ca's Corso Apartments and the other Spar is situated by the side the harbour next to the Club Nautico offices. Both offer a good selection of fresh and cooked meats, wines and spirits, fresh fruit and vegetables, along with Mallorquin specialities and British branded products. But don't expect too much competition with their prices, as they are both owned by the same people.
The resort is very popular with British, German and Spanish visitors who aren't looking for mass commercialisation in a resort, such as water parks and countless karaoke bars, many of which who have subsequently fallen in love with the resort and bought second homes in the area.
