Discover Porto Cristo Novo: Cala Petita and Mallorca
Accommodation in Porto Cristo Novo
Porto Cristo Novo can be incorporated into your travel plans through a specific natural site nearby: Cala Petita is accessible only on foot. If you would like to visit the cove, take this into account when planning and check local conditions before your visit. When looking for a holiday apartment in Porto Cristo Novo, access to the cove may be a factor in your choice: does a walking excursion fit your holiday plans?
Plan your journey and accommodation in Mallorca
The most common way to reach Mallorca is by flying to Palma de Mallorca Airport, which offers direct connections from many European cities to major Spanish and international cities. Check the connections again before booking. For your planning, getting to Mallorca and choosing where to stay are two separate decisions: which flight connection suits you, and where would you like to stay? You can include Porto Cristo Novo in your options based on your specific plans for the surrounding area.
Mallorca’s landscapes and trails
The Serra de Tramuntana is a UNESCO World Heritage mountain landscape and the largest protected natural area in the Balearic Islands. Its landscape includes cliffs that descend to the sea, green valleys and clear streams. Agricultural terraces, interconnected waterworks including watermills, dry-stone structures and farmhouses also shape the cultural landscape. Nature and features shaped by agriculture exist side by side here.
Mallorca’s routes also traverse different areas. The GR-221, also known as the Ruta de la Pedra en Sec, crosses the Serra de Tramuntana. The Artà-Lluc GR-222 route connects the Llevant mountain ranges and their natural park with the central area of the Serra de Tramuntana. Those interested in trails can distinguish between a route through the Serra and a connection between these named landscapes.
The island’s nature highlights extend beyond the mountain landscape. The s’Albufera Natural Park is a major Mediterranean wetland, home to migratory birds and native wildlife and plant life. The Fonts Ufanes emerge spontaneously after a prolonged period of rain. The Torrent de Pareis is a three-kilometre-long limestone canyon in the Serra de Tramuntana. The natural monument can be reached by road to Sa Calobra; check road conditions before setting out.
Caves, history and Mallorcan cuisine
On Mallorca, the Cuevas del Drach consist of four interconnected caves: the Cave of the French, the Cave of Luis Salvador, the White Cave and the Black Cave. The guided tour includes a live concert. Afterwards, visitors can cross Lago Martel for free by boat or on foot via the bridge. The cave experience therefore combines music with two different ways to cross the lake.
Mallorca’s history includes Bronze Age Talayotic ruins, including Ses Païsses in Artà. The Talayotic settlement of Capocorb Vell is also on Mallorca, in Llucmajor. These two examples offer a glimpse into the island’s archaeological past, without requiring you to focus on a single theme when planning your trip.
Culinary traditions offer another way to experience Mallorca. Ensaïmadas de Mallorca are traditional spiral-shaped pastries. Sobrasada is a sausage emblematic of Mallorca, made from minced pork, paprika and spices. The two specialities differ markedly in shape and ingredients, adding regional food culture to the island’s nature and cultural themes.
