Porto Cristo holidays – A Majorca fishing town with character
Porto Cristo holidays appeal to those looking for some authenticity and character beyond the normal Majorca beach resort. Holidays in Porto Cristo combine a likeable flourishing town with a pretty fishing harbour that is not entirely dependent on tourism or lacking in charm. Porto Cristo is in the middle of the attractive rugged east coast of the island, 40 miles east of Palma and the airport. Porto Cristo holidays offer a small quiet family resort popular with couples looking for a characterful and relaxing spot, away from the big crowds and busy nightlife. Holidays in Porto Cristo tend to focus on the old centre with its tree-shaded esplanade, colourful narrow lanes, sheltered harbour and the sandy Porto Cristo beach. Two Porto Cristo holiday highlights are the outstanding caves of Drach and the equally impressive caves at Hams. Both are very close to.
Holidays in Porto Cristo – A quiet spot popular with couples
Sandy Porto Cristo beach is set away from the main road in a sheltered bay. Quieter beaches and picturesque bays to each side of the town provide alternative unspoilt Porto Cristo beaches, and can be reached by regular local coast buses. The superb natural harbour between headlands makes Porto Cristo holidays a popular base for yachtsmen. Porto Cristo holidays offer a good selection of cafes, bars and restaurants including some pleasant outdoor terraces with views of the quayside. Porto Cristo holiday nightlife is decidedly low-key and limited to a couple of discos. Take a taxi to Cala Millor if your Porto Cristo holidays become too relaxing!
