Cala Banyalbufar


A steep 1km walk downhill past terraced slopes from Banyalbufar brings you to this rugged shingle and pebble, seaweed-scattered cove, where you can swim or sip a cold one at the beach shack on the rocks and look out over the dark turquoise water; there’s also a lovely waterfall nearby.
