PORT DE PORTOCOLOM ON MALLORCA
Welcome to Mallorca’s largest natural harbour, the fantastic Port de Portocolom. The name of the place goes back to a legend claiming that Christopher Columbus was born in this area. Far away from the tourist strongholds, the fishing village in the east of the island has an original atmosphere. The extensive harbour promenade and the historic old town are particularly picturesque sights to visit. A detour to Portocolom is also worthwhile for bathers. A paradise beach awaits sun-seeking yachting vacationers at Cala Marçal. Strolling through the quaint alleys of the old town, shopping enthusiasts discover authentic Mallorcan fashion. One romantic boutique follows the next. In addition to exclusive clothing, Portocolom’s shops also offer a wide selection of extravagant handicrafts.
HIGHLIGHTS AROUND PORT DE PORTOCOLOM
CALA VARQUES
Those who are looking for a lonely bay with crystal clear sea will have a wonderful time in Mallorca’s east. Far away from mass tourism, the dreamlike Cala Varques fulfils holiday dreams. The natural bathing bay is perfectly accessible by yacht. The small sandy beach creates a picturesque scenery.

CASTELL DE SANTUERI
The ruins of the Roman rock castle rise impressively from the green surroundings of the region. The massive limestone walls can be seen from far away and give the Mallorcan table mountain a special mysticism. Once a defensive structure against predatory pirates, the Castell de Santueri is now a popular attraction for visitors coming to the east of the island.
