We visited Mallorca, Spain in summer of 2022 with family, will share my experience through these series of posts. We flew from San Francisco to Barcelona. Then we flew from Barcelona to Palma, Mallorca. I had very little knowledge about the Mallorca, since most of the travel plans and arrangements was done by one of my cousins. However this turned out be one of the best family vacations we had. Even though we visited in peak summer with temperatures soaring between 90-100, we had a great time in the beaches of Mallorca. of course we thoroughly enjoyed the food and Sangrias.
On our first day we visited Cala Mondrago beach. Here is the route from the place where we stayed on Mallorca to Cala Mondrago.
Cala Madrago is a small beach located on the southern coast of the island of Mallorca, Spain. It is is a popular spot for swimming, sunbathing, and snorkeling. The beach is surrounded by cliffs and is only accessible by foot or by boat.
There is a small car park nearby where visitors can leave their cars. The beach is also popular with divers, as there are several diving spots in the area with a variety of marine life. Overall, Cala Madrago is known for its crystal-clear water, beautiful scenery, and secluded atmosphere. There is a restaurant and restrooms right on the beach.
On our way we stopped for lunch on the way at a small town called Santanyi, Restaurants name was Sa Botiga Satanyi. In fact they also had some Indian food on the menu, We had relaxed lunch with few Sangrias.
Here is a collage of food pictures from Sa Botiga restaurant.
Once we reached Cala Mondrago, we had to park our cars in a near by parking lot and walk to the beach.
