Mallorca III: Port d'Andratx

There was a lot of wind coming so we needed to hide somewhere (35+ knots of wind)! We chose to go to Port d'Andratx and to book a berth in the municipal harbor. We first booked just for a night as we are looking for a weather window to go up North. Unfortunately we quickly realized the strong winds would keep blowing until Monday.

While we were securely snug like a bug in Port d'Andratx it looked a couple of times like we could have gone out sailing. However within 30 minutes the strong winds and high waves would come back. We decided we had made a good decision and be okay with the fact that we should Stay in a harbor for a couple of days. After all, we had just spent about a month on anchor ⚓⛵

Port d'Andratx was a very cute town with adorable little traditional or semi-traditional fishing boats. We like to call them dopjes. We did a nice walk to the other side of the bay, got some treats from the bakery and chatted with the baker woman about the NL-ES ⚽ game and by accident enjoyed some waaaaay to expensive drinks on a beautiful terrace on the boulevard.

From Port d'Andratx we also took the bus to Palma de Mallorca for some sight seeing. It was a surprisingly beautiful city. Especially the cathedral and castle, which we obviously only saw from the outside, and the older smaller streets were gorgeous. For lunch we found a nice tapas bar before taking the bus back home. On Sunday we walked to the pier to look at the violence of the waves chashing into it and we were happy with our decision we didn't go yet. Afterwards, we did some work and went to bed rather late since Spain and the Netherlands decided to take it all the way to penalties!!Read more
