Puerto Pollensa

Picturesque Puerto Pollensa is set on the shoreline. The town itself nestles between two mountains and is steeped in charm, with pretty, pastel-coloured cottages, stone buildings and narrow streets. There's a medieval museum and colourful country market, as well as lots of shops and restaurants, but generally this is a place for a quieter-style of holiday. The beach with its tree-lined waterfront, enticing cafes, restaurants and sandy bays offers windsurfing, pedalos and water-skiing. For more sightseeing, you can head for nearby Alcudia with its medieval city and Roman ruins and Pollensa is only a few kilometres away.
