Cala Ratjada / Rajada

Cala Rajada is a large tourist resort within the municipality of Capdepera; it is located at Mallorca´s most easterly point and is where most of the residents of the municipality live. There is a large range of hotels and apartments spread around Cala Rajada´s various beaches. It is during the summer months that the majority of tourists come to the resort, which has a lively night-time atmosphere and which is popular with German visitors. There are many cafés, bars, restaurants and open-air beer-gardens, as well as shops (especially fashion stores) and sports activities, such as tennis, diving, golf and cycling.

The quay is the nerve centre of Cala Rajada, and the promenade from the beach of Son Moll passes by here. Next to the quay are the resort´s first buildings, many of which are bars and restaurants. The promenade continues from the port on to Cala Gat along a section called Passeig de ses Ŕmfores, which is not built up and has a monumental sculpture made from old anchors. The port of Cala Rajada is used by both fishing vessels and pleasure craft, and there are also boats which make trips along the coast, one of which travels daily to the port of Ciutadella, on the neighbouring island of Mallorca.

The old part of town is located around the small fishing harbour. On this side you also find the two small beaches Cala Gat and Son Moll.

Between these beaches there is a promenade stretching for several kilometres. This is a favourite walk in the evenings, and you find along here many bars, café's and restaurants.

On the other side of the half island you find the Cala Agulla (Cala Guya). This beach is several hundred meters long sand beach. On this side you also find some of the larger hotel complexes located. It is possible to continue walking along the coast in total uninhabited area, and with splendid views, for one hour and a half. This will take you to the next beach, Cala Mesquida.

The fiesta of Sant Roc which is held in Cala Rajada on August 16, is always a very popular event for children, with many of the parades and activities set to appeal to their generation.
