Eastern Mallorca

The East edge of the island, or "Llevant" has a varied landscape of contrasts with high cliffs and wild coves, extensive beaches of fine sand and crystal clear waters. It is known for its underground caves and large holiday resorts, but its interior, with its extensive farm fields, traditional villages and mountains with panoramic views are well worth a visit too.

The unique morphology of this area and the force of nature have made it one of the coasts with the biggest number of natural caves in Spain revealing authentic underground treasures such as the Drach and Hams caves. These underground wonders offer us the possibility of admiring ancient stalactites and stalagmites and some of the largest aquifers in Europe combined with an impressive light and color shows.

The coastal towns of Mallorca are a very beautiful tourist attraction and they introduce us to part of the culture, traditions and history that the Mediterranean Sea has given us over millions of years. A good example of this are the beautiful towns of Porto Cristo or Portocolom, two maritime centers where we can admire small fishermen's houses on the shores of the port. These houses are characterized by being white with the typical Mallorcan colored shutters and with a jetty or garage where fishermen used to work.

The east coast is also home to the Mondragó Natural Park with its wonderful beaches with incredible crystal clear waters and fine white sand. You can also get to know with one of our tours the production process of flake salt or the production of oil in Es Trenc.




On the other hand, Manacor is the second largest city in Mallorca and is known for its pearl factories which started in 1902 when a German inventor established a factory to produce artificial pearls. Unlike cultured pearls, Majorcan pearls are created layer by layer in an oven instead of in a shell.

Porto Cristo town was founded in 1880 and has one of the newest ports in Mallorca. The port and its beautiful beaches attract tourists and yacht owners every year. Near Porto Cristo are the famous Drach Caves, where visitors can enjoy a boat trip through the island's underworld.

Along the coast there are many tourist destinations such as S'Illot, Sa Coma and Cala Millor. Cala Ratjada is primarily a German tourist destination, yet still retains all its charm of an old port and it is the second largest fishing port in Mallorca after Palma.
