Cala Ratjada
Comprises a neat grid of streets cut into by the jagged shoreline, which embraces a sheltered marina and harbour; a narrow 1½-ml-long promenade weaves its way along its length. Pretty single-storey houses, low pine trees and the occasional restaurant line the sea front; the tourist strip is 3 blocks back. Most activity is centred on the marina. Tourism in this fishing port began in the 1960s; today there is the atmosphere of a cheerful English seaside resort, with lots of souvenir shops, cafes and the odd ice-cream parlour. The local church is bypassed by most tourists, although a fair number walk to the lighthouse in the NW of town
Location: In the NE part of the island. 40 mls NE of the island's capital, Palma, and its international airport.
Position: On a small peninsula, bounded by pine forest on 3 sides. Near the foothills of the San Jaumell and S'Aguila mountains
