Short trips from Cala Bona to Cap des Pinar & Son Servera

<p>Since April I have been living in Cala Bona&comma; in Mallorca&period; I haven&&num;8217&semi;t done many excursions yet but I&&num;8217&semi;m still trying to explore some parts of the island&period; When I was in Mallorca three years ago I visited quite many places but I still discover new places that I haven&&num;8217&semi;t been to&period; This time I would like to give you tips for two short excursions that you can do while staying in <a href&equals;"http&colon;&sol;&sol;www&period;luciesworld&period;net&sol;2019&sol;05&sol;cala-bona-cala-millor-sa-coma-three-holiday-resorts-in-mallorca&period;html" target&equals;"&lowbar;blank" rel&equals;"noopener noreferrer">Cala Bona&sol;Cala Millor<&sol;a>&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>&nbsp&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<h2>Mirador Cap des Pinar<&sol;h2>&NewLine;<p>Mirador Cap des Pinar is a popular viewpoint located in Costa dels Pins &lpar;Pine Tree Coast&rpar;&period; It offers a spectacular view of Cala Bona&comma; Cala Millor and Punta de n&&num;8217&semi;Amer&period; It&&num;8217&semi;s also traditional for lovers to fix a padlock on the railings and throw the key into the sea as an expression of eternal love&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>Cap des Pinar is situated quite close to Cala Bona and that&&num;8217&semi;s why I decided to go there by bike&period; It took around 20 minutes to get to the top&comma; I had to cycle up the hill but it was definitely worth the effort&period; The view is just amazing&period; I spent some time there&comma; sitting&comma; looking at the sea&comma; enjoying the sunshine and then I went back to Cala Bona&period; It was definitely much easier to go back since I was going down hill&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>On the way I also stopped at the beach Platja de sa Marjal and I regretted that I didn&&num;8217&semi;t take my swimming suit and a beach towel&period; Anyway&comma; it was a nice trip and it wasn&&num;8217&semi;t too busy at the viewpoint&period; Just a few people went by car&comma; bike or walking but they didn&&num;8217&semi;t spend much time there&period; I would definitely recommend to visit it because it&&num;8217&semi;s really worthwhile&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><img class&equals;"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2807" src&equals;"http&colon;&sol;&sol;www&period;luciesworld&period;net&sol;wp-content&sol;uploads&sol;2019&sol;07&sol;IMG&lowbar;20190703&lowbar;174638-e1562168893587&period;jpg" alt&equals;"" width&equals;"450" height&equals;"338" &sol;><&sol;p>&NewLine;<h2>Son Servera<&sol;h2>&NewLine;<p><a href&equals;"https&colon;&sol;&sol;visitcalamillor&period;com&sol;en&sol;son-servera&sol;" target&equals;"&lowbar;blank" rel&equals;"noopener noreferrer">Son Servera<&sol;a> is the main urban area of the municipality&period; It&&num;8217&semi;s located in the north-west of the island on a hill with sea views&period; It&&num;8217&semi;s a small town but it&&num;8217&semi;s definitely worth at least a short visit&period; Every Friday there is a street market where you can buy fruit&comma; vegetables&comma; clothes&comma; plants and many other things&period; In the heart of the town you find Plaça de Sant Joan with a church&period; Nevertheless&comma; the most popular attraction of the town is the New Church&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><img class&equals;"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2808" src&equals;"http&colon;&sol;&sol;www&period;luciesworld&period;net&sol;wp-content&sol;uploads&sol;2019&sol;07&sol;DSC01827-e1562169031756&period;jpg" alt&equals;"" width&equals;"450" height&equals;"338" &sol;><&sol;p>&NewLine;<h3>New Church<&sol;h3>&NewLine;<p>The New Church is an unfinished&comma;

1929&period; Entrance to the church is free and it&&num;8217&semi;s open from Monday to Friday from 9&colon;30 till 14&colon;30&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><amp-instagram data-shortcode&equals;"BydLTkEnF0B" layout&equals;"responsive" width&equals;"600" height&equals;"600" data-captioned><&sol;amp-instagram><&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>I visited Son Servera twice&period; First time I took my bike and I was cycling from <a href&equals;"http&colon;&sol;&sol;www&period;luciesworld&period;net&sol;2019&sol;05&sol;cala-bona-cala-millor-sa-coma-three-holiday-resorts-in-mallorca&period;html" target&equals;"&lowbar;blank" rel&equals;"noopener noreferrer">Cala Bona<&sol;a> to Son Servera&period; It&&num;8217&semi;s not far&comma; it took me just around 15&sol;20 minutes to get there&period; When I went to visit the New Church&comma; I was very lucky because there was no one&period; It was completely empty so I could admire its beauty by myself and I could take some nice photos as well&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><img class&equals;"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2809" src&equals;"http&colon;&sol;&sol;www&period;luciesworld&period;net&sol;wp-content&sol;uploads&sol;2019&sol;07&sol;DSC01846-e1562169238634&period;jpg" alt&equals;"" width&equals;"450" height&equals;"338" &sol;><&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>My second visit was last Friday&period; That time I took a bus which costs 1&comma;90€ and I went to see the markets&period; I wasn&&num;8217&semi;t too amazed by the stuff they sold at the market&comma; they have the typical things that I mentioned before&period; The town got very busy during the street market and the buses were also busier on the way back&period; My friend and I decided to take a taxi back&comma; together we paid 5&comma;50€ so there wasn&&num;8217&semi;t such a big price difference comparing to the bus&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>&nbsp&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<h2>Conclusion<&sol;h2>&NewLine;<p>Anyway&comma; I would definitely recommend to see both places&period; If you decide to rent a car&comma; stop by the Cap des Pinar to look at the whole coast of Cala Bona and Cala Millor&period; It&&num;8217&semi;s truly amazing so I&&num;8217&semi;m sure you will like it&period; You shouldn&&num;8217&semi;t skip visiting Son Servera but I would probably avoid going to the town on Fridays since it gets very busy&period; Better to choose other day for seeing the town centre including the New Church&period; No doubts that it will be more quiet and you will be able to enjoy your time there much more&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;
