Paradise in Mallorca:  Postcards from the two Pollencas

Port de Pollenca and the nearby medieval town of Pollenca complement each other for a perfect holiday.

For sandy beaches and clear sheltered water go to Port de Pollenca:

For quiet medieval streets, travel a few kilometres inland to Pollenca:

Port de Pollenca offers a "Full English Breakfast":

while Pollenca contents itself with offering you an authentic thimble full of espresso, when you ask for a coffee.

In Port de Pollenca you can get the latest on Harry and Camilla by buying the morning's edition of the Daily Mail.  For lessons in Spanish you will need to take the bus up the road to Pollenca.

What both places offer is the benefit of the Mallorcan/Catalan culture.  The streets are watered down and cleaned every morning.  There is almost no graffiti.  Horns do not blare as I take five minutes to wrestle our manual Fiat 500 into a tiny parking spot.  The unfailing courtesy of the locals makes this a very chill place to visit.
