Like many others I was prejudiced. Mallorca. Party island, island full of drunken party people, pubs where German pop songs are being played, restaurants where German is spoken, German menus on display, too many tourists and tourist traps.
But I was disabused and quite a couple of trips to this beautiful Island followed after that first encounter.
There are many wonderful small villages, lovely little restaurants and peaceful, quiet places where you can relax and enjoy the friendliness of the locals.
Like Port de Valldemossa (the village of Valldemossa itself, with its famous Charterhouse, is busting with tourists), a pleasant drive along a narrow and winding road down towards the little harbour, only a couple of kilometres after you have passed Valldemossa Village.
A pretty small parking lot, a lovely and nearly empty beach, picturesque quarry stone houses with blue window shutters that’s all….
This is where I took this pic of a black Cat.
There are dozens of cats around the harbour, waiting for the fishing boats to come in and they always get their share.....
Apart from the above there is one small restaurant, "Restaurant Es Port".
Friendly service, simple but delicious meals, especially the fresh fish is something I can absolutely recommend.
Restaurant Es Port / Port the Valdemossa, Mallorca
So give it a try, maybe you'll discover more of the hidden secrets of Mallorca…
