Colonia de Sant Jordi

The former fishing village of Colonia de Sant Jordi is located on the southeastern tip of Mallorca and is part of the municipality of Ses Salines. The place offers a marina two beautiful sandy beaches, where the northern Es Trenc is the largest natural beach of the island. Colonia de Sant Jordi is actually divided into two parts. The hotel zone is north, and the directions Trenc marina and fishing port in the southern part of the city. In the central region, a road with many shops, restaurants and bars, separate the two districts. The site works through its mix of private homes, villas and large hotel complexes built something, but certainly very nice spots where you can spend a quiet holiday. Since 2010, the site has a very nice promenade by the marina where there is also an aquarium with an exhibition about the park Cabrera. (The aquarium is to be privatized, currently a private investor is looking for. January 2013). Over bars and well-developed ways you can walk along the rocky beach side of the hotel zone walk to the harbor. Very beautiful is the port area, with its numerous restaurants. Especially on weekends, he is a popular spot for Majorcan families, so that you as a tourist, as opposed to the mere tourist places, can still experience something more Mediterranean lifestyle.
