Manacor Porto Cristo
Porto Cristo a natural fishing and sporting
harbour, although modern has not lost its natural charm. Its
beach deserves special mention so does a visit to the Aquarium
and to the local natural caves, Drach and Hams being the most
visited on the island.
Cala Anguila, just three kilometres form Porto Cristo combines
Nature with the construction of residential areas, which are
perfectly integrated in landscape.
In the whole area formed by Cala Anguila, Cala Mendia and
s´Estany d´en Mas, the hotel establishments of
recent construction rend quality to tourism, rounding off
the charm of these coves.
The cove of s´Estany d´en Mas has a very wide
beach with fine sand and crystalline waters, which are ideal
for diving and water sports. Trekking is one of the most recommended
activities.
