There is more to do and see in Manacor. After the trip to Manacor market you can visit the pearl factory or continue to Portocristo or Puerto de Manacor, as the locals call the place, where you can find many restaurants and of course some of the most beautiful grottos on the island. Another possibility is to swim in the crystal clear water in one of the beautiful bays of the area, such as
Cala Morlanda: this small cove near the Manacor market is located near the village of S’Illot, this cove is not very crowded and has a staircase of rocks.
Cala Anguila: this beautiful beach of Manacor is only 20 minutes away from the Manacor market. Its waters are crystal clear, the sand is white and you will find a restaurant there.
Cala Romantica: This beach is only a few kilometres from Manacor and only 3 kilometres from Portocristo. It is very quiet and ideal for a day at the beach with children because it is a flat beach. The sand is white and very fine and is not inferior to the Caribbean beaches.
As you have probably noticed, it is worthwhile to visit the Manacor market to get closer to the Majorcan culture.
