Porto Cristo
07680 Porto Cristo, Balearic Islands, Spain
Porto Cristo is a relaxed harbour town on Mallorca’s east coast, centred on a sheltered marina and seafront promenade with seafood restaurants and cafés; it serves as a convenient base for exploring nearby sandy coves and the island’s famous sea caves.
What Makes It Special
The town is the gateway to the Cuevas del Drach and Cuevas dels Hams — dramatic sea caves with vast underground lakes where short classical-music performances create a memorable subterranean experience.
Insider Tips
Book cave tickets in advance and aim for an early slot to avoid coach-tour crowds; afterwards stroll the harbour for lunch and, if you have time, visit nearby coves such as Cala Anguila or Cala Mendia for a quieter swim.
