Places in Spain - Andratx, Mallorca

 

Andratx is a charming little town that sits amid hillsides covered in almond, orange and olive trees. The town is located slightly inland, the reason being prevention of pirate attacks. You will find Andratx in the south west corner of Mallorca, just west of Palma. During the 13th century, Andratx was the home of both the Bishop of Barcelona and King Jaume I.

 

Wednesday morning is market day in Andratx and the streets fill with stalls selling local produce. Local cheeses and fish are fantastic and fresh. Vegetables give a wash of colour.

The upper part of town consists of old houses along cobbled streets. At the top is the fortress-like church of Santa Maria. From here you can see the Port of Andratx. At the port you will see traditional fishing boats happily moored alongside luxury yachts. The port is very important to the island as a major tourist spot.

Nearby are the beaches of Sant Elm and the small islands of Pantaleu and Sa Dragonera which is really a 6km long rock. It is so named because of its likeness to a dragon's back rising out of the water.
