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. |
