Villa L'Encantada Menorca Spain Cala En Porter Cala En Porter

There is plenty to do both day and night in Cala en Porter and the island. Car hire is of course available as are taxis and buses from the town centre. There is also a road train which stops near the villa every hour or so and goes around the town to the centre and the beach and back again. Otherwise the Villa is a 10-15 minute walk to the centre and beach. There is a wide choice of bars and restaurants in Cala en Porter including typically spanish bars such as Bar Pons. Tennis is available behind the Salamander restaurant with a choice of several good supermarkets. Further afield, Mahon the capital is well worth a visit with it's beautiful harbour as is Ciutadella, the old capital. Alaior is a very spanish town situated about 8 miles from Cala en Porter with some interesting shops and architecture. There is a golf course at Son Parc (Tel(0034)9711 888 75) as well as numerous beautiful sandy beaches and coves to visit, some of which are empty. The snorkelling is very good on menorca with crystal clear water and a good variety of fish to see. There is also boat hire available at Mahon harbour as well as Scuba diving at Salgar. Highly recommended is the trotting races every saturday evening at the velodrome in San Luis just outside Mahon. A great evening out.
