The resort of Cala'n Porter lies on the south coast of Minorca, approx 15 km and 30 minutes transfer time from the island's airport at Mahon. The town, its accommodation, and most of its amenities, sit proudly on the high cliffs overlooking the beach area. The most direct route between to two is via a steep set of 192 steps, and trust me on this I've counted them on more than one occasion. Now if I was to devise a particularly cruel game for "Its a Knockout" it would involve a couple with a pushchair, a beach bag and an inflatable crocodile struggling up these steps in the full heat of the Menorcan day. A mini train does run between the two points but at a cost of 4 Euro's per person, this may prove to be a costly option for a two week family holiday. Once there the beach is very large and being protected on three sides by the cliffs becomes a suntrap during the heat of the day. By Menorcan standards Cala'n Porter can be described as being lively, but don't go expecting to find a Magaluf, Menorca just isn't like that. The resort has a fair selection of shops and supermarkets to meet your everyday essential needs, with most stocking a wide selection of UK recognised brands. Seven buses a day run into nearby Mahon during the Summer months. For more information on the resort of Cala'n Porter, or the island of Menorca in general, please try the Search Engine below: |
