There is a pedestrianized promenade with cafes, restaurants and shops and at the harbour you can spot luxury yachts, pleasure cruisers as well as fishing boats.
The lovely town of Soller is just 5km away by tram or car. Here you will find cafes, bars and restaurants in the magnificent main square, Plaza de la Constitucion, which is also where the tram from the port drops you off. The bustling market day on Saturday is not to be missed and city lovers must take the old-fashioned train through the orange groves up to the magnificent city of Palma.
