Yacht charter Puerto Pollensa is the harbour of the village situated
8 kilometres upcountry of the same name – Pollensa, on Majorca.
Puerto Pollensa lies in the great Bay of Pollenca in
the northeast of Majorca, accessible by the yacht charter Pollenca crews over
the well built out north- south- arteries of the island in an hour or a bit more.
It is possible to hire a car for the respective oneway routes.
Yacht charter Pollenca was founded by the Romans and it was the most
important harbour of the island not only at the time of the Romans but also during
the Arab conquest of Majorca. The Bay of Alcudia and Pollenca is protected by
the mighty peninsulas and is 5 sea miles long and 3 sea miles wide.
In modern times, after a phase of tranquillity as a fishermen’s
village, yacht charter Puerto Pollensa has been rediscovered for pretentious holiday making,
especially by the english tourists. Artists and intellectuals fell in love with
yacht charter Pollenca, either. For many french expressionists the village was a favourite
place to spend the summer, and later developed the music festival that is known
beyond the boundaries of the island.
The yacht charter Pollenca crew can take a fine walk
along the car free promenade to the northern end of yacht charter Pollensa’s town centre.
There begins the Passeig Vora Mar, where small sand beach bays covered with pines
and time honoured premises nice to have a look at string together.
The fine sand beaches extend from yacht charter Puerto Pollenca in
the two dimensions of the wide bay. The yacht charter Pollenca crews most like
the northern beaches that lie below the five star Hotel Formentor. An idyllic
panorama is unfolding in front of the sunbathing yacht charter Pollenca crew,
which is characterized by Cap Formentor in the north and the peninsula of
Alcudia (La Victoria) in the south.
On La Victoria the beautiful yacht charter Pollenca harbour Mal Pas invites for a first tack starting from the Marina of yacht charter Pollenca. Good restaurants and the magnificent view from the rock Penya Roja or
from Ermita de la Victoria convert this peninsula into a well liked starting
position for the yacht charter Pollenca cruise.
Cap Formentor, a nature reserve with some bizarre rock
formations is the northernmost point of Majorca. Before starting to sailing
around Cap Formentor, the yacht charter Pollenca crew is recommended to make an
excursion over land. The grandiose glimpses from Mirador del Mal Pas and
Mirador d’es Colomer along the mountain road tenderly built by Antonio Paretti
range among the most beautiful ones the yacht charter Pollenca crew can get of Majorca.
After a tack around Cap Formentor the yacht charter
Pollenca cruise leads to Cala Sant Vicenc, a wonderful settlement amidst the
steep cliffs of the foothills of Tramuntana Mountains (Sa Font and Cavall
Bernat). The village is idyllic and offers beautiful sand beaches in an
extraordinary environment. On a shore leave it is possible to visit tomb caves
from the Bronze Age.
At Cap Formentor there coincide the winds that were
given their own names by the Majorcans who have been living with them for
centuries as fishermen and peasants. Designations that often slip in the naming
of locations. The close relationship with the brothers Tramuntana (north wind),
Ponent (west wind), Llevant (east wind) and Migjorn (south wind) and to the four little cousins Gregal
(NNO), Xaloc (SSO), Lleibig (SSW) and Mestral (NNW) continues until today to be
an integral part of the Mallorquin life and the yacht charter Pollenca crews
should be aware of this.
The sailing conditions in the Bay of Alcudia and
Pollenca are characterized by good sea winds, supported by the mighty peninsulas.
These render yacht charter Pollenca one of the best yacht charter districts in the
Mediterranean Sea; accordingly the horizon of the Bay of Pollenca is full of
sails especially at the weekends.
The generously arranged yacht charter Pollenca Marina of Puerto Pollenca (39°
54,2’ N 3° 5,2’ E) is, besides Palma de Majorca, the only site of a Royal Yachting
Club on the Balearic Islands and it presents all the conveniences a yacht charter
Pollenca crew may be desirous of. The ambience is genuinely sophisticated.
The town of yacht charter Port de Pollenca presents sufficient
opportunities for food supplies, but for those yacht charter Pollenca crews who
need not put to sea on saturdays, a visit to the market in the picturesque
village of Pollenca on sundays is worthwhile. This is connectable with a visit
to the Dominican Monastery that is overgrown in beautiful manner, and the
sportsmen under the yacht charter Pollenca crew may connect it with climbing the
Calvary Hill.
