Cala Bona is not a purpose built holiday resort, but more of a small traditional fishing village that has grown and adapted to cater for the islands tourist market.
The town today still has its original narrow streets, which from a drivers point of view can be a absolute nightmare to navigate without incurring the wrath of another drivers horn, along with a small working harbour, around which you'll find a wide variety of open air cafes and bars. Although, many of the other resorts on the island have developed a very German feel, Cala Bona still remains a favourite of the British tourist. Local fishermen can be seen mending nets and sipping strong coffee laced with brandy, and traditional fishing boats bob in the harbour. Narrow, tree-lined streets lined with tourist shops, cafes and bars lie at the resort centre. Locality: Cala Bona is located on the E coast, 14 mls E of the town of Manacor, 46 mls E of Palma. The area is set on land sloping gently down to the sea from low pine-covered hills, pastoral fields and orchards. Rocky coastline with several small bays and inlets is a feature of the area. |
