General info about the area
Veligandu´s CD "Balearics - Mallorca and Menorca" continues as no.4 the serie of pilots and books about the Med, produced by sailors for sailors.
She describes the islands of Mallorca and Menorca with all their anchorages, harbours, some villages and cities, contents landtrips and infos about living on the island. As usual, our main point of view is on the pictures, mainly for the watersport. This CD is not a terrestic travelbook, it helps the sailor to find his paradise and delivers helpful infos especially about harbours and bays. It is aswell no leader for hotels and restaurants, for normally, the sailor has his bed aboard... but if you need such infos, more or less for landtourists, you will find them on our page www.Mallorca-Treffpunkt.com
More infos aswell in www.Mallorca-Insider.com
But all nautical infos, you find here on the CD.
We invite you to follow Veligandu,a Prout Snowgoose 37 Elite to her turn round Mallorca and Menorca, visit charming harbours and cosy bays, drop anchor on sandy bottoms and in cristalclear water, nearly number one in the whole Med!
Enjoy wonderful pictures and plan your holiday at home, before starting the turn itself.
Some specials of the Balearics from our point of view:
The herewith described islands of Mallorca and Menorca surely are one of the most beautiful ones in the whole Mediterranean sea. Especially Mallorca is a little continent on its own, to be seen by everyone, who looks behind horrorful places like Arenal or Magaluf....
Wide sandy beaches (
Beach of Pollensa
) with shallow waters (very good for kiddies!) pittoresque sandy bays (
Cales de Mallorca
), little rocky bays (
Cala Molto
), dramatic canons, and sometimes flat, sometimes mountainous
area
- Mallorca has got everything!
For those, who love flat countryside, Es Pla would be worth a visit, it is the fruit-and vegetable garden of Mallorca. Those who prefer mountains, will love Sierra Tramontana, a mountainchain, stretching from SW to NW, from Andraitx to Pollensa, with Puig Mayor, highest mountain of the island with 1445m.
Take the coastal road at the westside, it is an impressive trip ashore and, aswell from the sea, if you sail along the coast. A trip through "our" beloved Sierra Tramontana is always worth some hairrising narrow streets, with hundreds of meters nothing beside you than the sea,... very deep under you....just do it, it is wonderful!!
But, either by car or as a wanderer, please do not leave the official ways. Everyyear, especially wanderers come to death, because they thought, well, this little mountain on an island.. no probelm... but, especially the torrentes, normal dry riverbeds, are very dangerous and you need a lot of condition to manage the mountains.
But aswell the cities and villages are beautiful. On number one of course, the "pearl of the Med", Palma de Mallorca. You cannot see everything in just one day...
But beside Palma, there are numerous pretty little villages, careful renovated lanes and houses and sometimes with car-free zones like in Valldemossa, Fornalutx (it got the title prettiest village of the island) or wanderers paradises like Mancor de la Vall and many more; just discover them.
To make long story short, when you manage to get your head free of all that nasty paroles about Mallorca, you will discover a paradise, which combines northeurpaean standard with southeuropaean way of live, what more could you wish?
For the sailor, some things are important to know: there are more yachts than harbourberths. So, you not only have the problem to get a berth, you will be charged every year more and more. It is wise, not to come too late in the evening, then you will have a good chance to get a berth. But prices are incridible, compared to normal mediterranean standard.
For a normal 10-12m yacht, you can calculate with 20 to 40 pound per night, surely increasing in the future... of course, you pay double for a cat....some offers for our boat where between 40-70 pound per night..! As friends told us, the situation is even worse in Ibiza.
Of course you can anchor free in the bays....but! For that, the most essential thing is a perfect weatherforcast and a steady control of the weather, in this area even much more important as for example in Turkey, where you find so many perfect sheltered bays.
Numerous weatherreports can be found on
www.sailorsworld.com
Some quite sheltered bays on Mallorca are Porto Colom, Puerto de Sóller, Santa Ponsa and Puerto de Pollensa, but:
Porto Colom wants to forbid free anchoring, they have installed 20 (!) buoys, which they want the sailors to pick up, of course, they charge in summertime. (by the way, normally, in summer not 20, but 220 boats moor in here....!!)
Puerto de Sóller wants to build a new marina, which means, there aswell will be no more anchorages in future....
Santa Ponsa is ok, but not with W, but after all, still a good choice at this side of the island
Puerto Pollensa is a nearly all around sheltered and not restricted yet, but the bottom, which seems to be good sand, are rocky slabs, just covered with sand, so you have to find a hole with some more sand to get the anchor well in.
In any other bays (and Mallorca has got numerous of them), in the night, wind and waves may come in, shelter is not the best and you must always calculate with turning winds. Not really a problem, but we think, you should know about that before.
But after all, the Balearics still have the most attractive bays in the Med, maybe directly followed by the Aegaean Sea. The best holdings combined with most cristalclear water you may imagine you find on Menorca, that´s for sure!
Unfortunately, this is no longer a secret, so Menorca in July / August is even more crowded than Mallorca.
If you want to sail in Menorca, please try to do it beside those 2 months, when "France" and "Barcelona" are home again. The french sailors, with holiday in august and aswell the sailors from Barcelona are a real invasion and normally, reserve in advance the popular harbourberths like Isla Clementina in Mahon, so you will have no chance to get a berth in august.
Beginning of september, they leave and you have more space to moor and more fun with sailing.
Attention!!
A babylonian situation exists on the islands. Although, other nations try to get together in a european way, Mallorquins and Menorcins cultivate their own dialect. At the shore, you hear some english and german but in the innerislands, they often even do not speak castilian, the official spanish. First language on Mallorca is now, "grace" to the new government, catalan, a local language in Spain, mainly spoken round Barcelona. Another form of catalan, a local dialect, mixed with arabian and french words is mallorquin, which you more and more also find in signs at the street, a really confusing thing.
The reason, why we explain that is, that aswell the bays have numerous names. So, if a sailor uses 3 charts, it might be, that he finds 4 different names for one single bay. We tried to use the most usual names for the calas (bays),but it can be, that we use other names, than written in your chart, sorry for that, but it is really difficult!!
The problem is, that there are
a. official names
b. local names
c. local dialectnames
d. names, created by other pilotwriters or sailors
This mixes up in a very confusing way, so choose, which name you like best and
;-)..... take it easy!!
Normally, every local understands castilian, the official spanish language. For that, we have collected some important words for the daily use:
Hola! (say Ola!).....Hello! (at any time)
Buenas Dias.....good morning (til lunchtime)
Buenas Tardes.....good day (til dawn)
Buenas Noches.....good night, good evening
Adios.....bye
Hasta luego.....see you
si.....yes
no.....no
gracias.....thanks
muchas gracias.....thank you very much
no lo sé.....I don´t know
no hablo espanol.....I don´t speak spanish
Dónde estan los servicios.....where are the toilets
Por favor.....please
