On
the east coast of Mallorca, a short drive from Magaluf
is Santa Ponca (Santa Ponsa). The resort comprises of a wide, ringed bay with
a sandy beach, encircled by pine trees. The seafront is lined with hotels and
apartments. There is a quaint port where modern vessels moor happily alongside
traditional fishing boats. In between the beach and the port is a simple monument
that commemorates the landing of James I of Aragon in 1229 when he arrived to
re-conquer Mallorca from the Moslems.
