So where are we?
Puerto Pollenca is situated on the northern tip of the island some 45 minutes drive from Palma and its airport.
With the Sierra de Tramuntana mountain range as a backdrop, which shelters the town, it´s the perfect holiday spot with a beautiful sandy beach, harbour, yacht club and a large square around which bars, restaurants and shops abound with a diversity to suit all tastes and pockets.
Sailing and windsurfing in the bay are particularly popular, but you can try waterskiing if you´re desperate to make some noise.
The town and surrounding area has always been popular with the British who have visited this part of the island for nearly 90 years.
Puerto Pollensa is a fairly recent creation and you won´t find atmospheric alleyways and historic churches there; for that you will have to travel five kilometres inland to the old town of Pollensa itself. IT was established in Roman times.
