This summer, we went to Majorca, Spain for
our vacation. That means some things are to be whispered in Spanish; to learn the
language that is. For a change, this year’s how are you will become Como esta
usted? Mmmm, I am not sure if I got it right this time but it will do for now. From
afar, the beach is beautiful and crowded. Of course, it is summer and everybody
wants to enjoy the sun.
We were excited as we
disembark Cala Millor Beach on our first day. Cala Millor means ‘better bay’ and
is located on the island’s rugged east coast, more suited towards the
traditional family market and that’s us. We have kids and we just want to
enjoy. There are a lot of things to do for the children while parents sit back
and relax, the tour guide was telling us. I so enjoyed the fresh smell of the
water. It took us approximately two hours to get here from Palma de Mallorca
Airport, about 60 kilometers in distance. But it is worth it.
The beach is beautiful and the temperature is alright for
me. The beachside was practically crowded with people – adults and children
alike. Umbrellas are everywhere for people, who brought their own shade and
towels on their chairs, giving impression to passersby, enjoy the sand, not my
spot. Cala Millor stretches for more
than 6km along a wide sheltered bay and is protected by two large unspoilt
headlands, is generally considered to be one of the best on the island; with
its clear water and gently sloping sands.
Parasols and sun beds can be hired at various points along
the beach, along with water sports activities; there is a good windsurfing
school too. And one more thing, this beach allows topless!
The resort has a good selection of shops, but if you want to
do a more extensive shop or shop for gifts and souvenirs then you need to head
to one of the larger resorts. One nearby resort is Cala Bona that is easily
reached by foot along the boulevard, which is now almost becoming part of the
Cala Millor resort.
And we saw this sand sculpture that is so elaborately worked
on. The details and the lightings add to the beauty of this art. This display
is a means of livelihood for some. Anybody is allowed to take a picture or
video for a fee of 10 Euro. So, what we did was take a picture from afar thou
we took pity on them and gave 1 Euro instead.
