Can Pastilla Tourist Information
Can Pastilla is a long established holiday resort just minutes from Palma de
Mallorca airport. In fact the main flight path sends planes over the resort
every couple of minutes during the day. Holidaymakers are predominantly Spanish,
British and German which is reflected in the type of bars and restaurants that
line the seafront.
Most of C'an Pastilla's beach is a western extension of the 5km long
Playa de
Palma which has golden sand and plenty sunbeds with superb views towards the
mountains which look down on the city of Palma to the west. The Can Pastilla
beach ends at the small marina called Club Nautic Sant Antoni where a smart
restaurant offers great views the whole way across the Playa de Palma.
Just on the other side of the marina is the very quaint Cala Estancia which is a
separate beach and is well sheltered on both sides. The
Alexandra Hotel and
Anfora Hotel are the nearest to this little beach with terraces overlooking
it. Many more
Can
Pastilla hotels are dotted around the streets directly behind this beach.
Poppy's bar is the place to go for Sky TV in this small area. The fish
restaurant on the eastern side of Cala Estancia is highly recommended.
On the main beach there are many hotels right on the seafront and one street
back which stretch from C'an Pastilla all the way to Arenal some 5km to the
east. The Pinero Las Arenas and the El Cid Hotels are good choices.
As for bars
and restaurants they change hands with such frequency that it's difficult to
recommend one over another. Ricky's Tavern and the Manchester pub are popular
amongst British tourists.
In general you'll find a selection of Spanish, British
and German options, just take a short stroll from the marina as far as the
sports area next to the Fontanellas Playa hotel and you'll get a good idea of
what's available to you.
