ANCHORAGES AND COVES IN MAJORCA - 2

During centuries in Majorca, only the territories of the interior that they did not give to the sea had S-value completely being despised the uncultivated, dangerous coasts by, or without benefit, and thanks to it luckyly still we were able to sail by some coasts in virgin state, even though the unstoppable pressure of the promoters and I interest economic. To sail by Majorca implies to be abreast of the meteo since except for Port Colom who is a place totally surely, we must be ready to even move to us at night if a significant change in the conditions of the time takes place.

  To sail from Porto Christ to Ratjada Cove

In Porto Christ we will have the possibility of berthing in the municipal wharf with the consequent saving of cost or in sport navy, or even of casting anchor in front of the beach. Of Millor Cove and the Sandy ground is better not to speak unless it wants to learn German with tens of thousands of tourists of `sun and beach'.  It is not bad idea to cast anchor in Coves as Cove Moll or Cala Pedruscada, are although them but pretty. In the port of Ratjada Cove, also it is possible to search prote'ge' of winds of the North and the West.

  A passage tuna to spend the day: Cabo Pear to Cabo Farrutx

Excepting Moltó Cove, he is better nor to consider to do night in this zone of coast, but it is not either necessary to lose itself! 

Waters with infinite colors in the range of blue and the green ones. Everything a spectacle. From this coast we are almost to stone shot of Citadel, altogether 21 miles only separate to us of the island of Menorca. In the neighborhood of the CAP of Freu, we can find a submarine paradise for divers with caves and tunnels. To the North of Foguera End the entrance to the famous cave of the Cathedral and only advised hides to experience sportsmen.

  Sailing From Cabo Farrutx towards Alcudia

This navigation offers some points of anchorage not too safe but usable and after approaching to us Port of San still unfinished Pere, we will maintain course to the port of Ca' n Picafort. The coast rocks have gone being replaced by beaches and spaces more and more abiertos. We are totally in the Bay of Alcudia, where we will be able to reach the port of Alcudiamar to search prote'ge's well.

From Alcudia, we can find another interesting place to cast anchor like the Islet of Aucanada, in which we must have the precaution definitively to fix the boat by means of a second anchor or ends to earth due to the proximity of lajas near the surface.

In Coll Baix we found a place of ideal anchorage for the practice of the diving. One is a abierta to spend the day solely but very pleasant cove.

  Towards the Fabulous Cabo de Formentor

In the Bay of Pollensa is the small but calm port Crocodile also known like Bonaire Navy. Some pretty coves exist one of which apparently seem closed by buoys by the proprietor of some near villa disabling the anchorage. Surely it does not know the law of coasts and the most basic slight knowledge it exceeds admiralty law!

In the zone of the natural area of the victory sites also exist tuna to cast anchor, but also we must be kind to the sounding, mainly if stems near 2 meters. We are in an excellent zone to practice diving and to surprise to us with its submarine reliefs.

  The Tramontana begins

Without doubt, from our one, point of view of the most hallucinating coasts of Majorca, but anything adapted to make no anchorage. Dog Mistral is than problematic more and we must make many miles until being able to us to protect in the Port of Sóller.

If it makes good benefit of all the wealth landscaping and tómese with calm impressive the cliff delight so beautiful and cut and turns.

Figuera cove is a possible anchorage nocturne with good weather to little distance of Formentor. Cove Sa Calobra is worthy to be visited although in summer we will not see more than tourist than they come by earth to spend the day. After Sóller Port they come Deiá Cove, Valldemossa Cove, the zone of Banyalbufar, and finally the island of natural protection Dragonera that ends the coast of the tramontana. To the East of this island two possible anchorages exist.

  To sail between San Telmo and the Cabo Figuera

Port d' Andratx is an interesting bay with places tuna although not as spectacular as described others previously. It is not allowed to anchor in the dock of the port and a solution can consist of searching in the beach of Santa Ponsa avoiding the abusive prices of the navy of same name.

  It pierces Figuera to Palm

It does not stop visiting Portals Cove with a very beautiful water color and in addition good a defense to spend the night. In Greater Cove also there are numerous possibilities of anchorage sometimes protected by some small barren island, but always bothered during the day by motorcycles of water and motorboats due to the built-up thing that are this part of the coast
