Town’s name origin
The name of Porto Cristo comes from the Latin “porto” and “Christ”, which means “to carry Christ”. The place name is owed to the landing of an Italian ship around 1260 AD. Its crew had promised to leave images of Christ and the Virgin ashore if they managed to reach a port safe and sound after overcoming a difficult storm in the sea. The image of Christ can be seen today in the Church of Dolores de Manacor.
Porto Cristo is also known as Puerto de Manacor and Es Port. It was the only Mallorcan town to participate in the Spanish Civil War, being occupied by the Republicans and becoming known as “Red Port”.
Caves
Porto Cristo is the cradle of the famous Cuevas del Drach, Cuevas dels Hams and Cuevas Blancas.
Cuevas del Drach are a set of underground caves about 2.4 km long and 25 m deep formed by rainwater and house one of the largest underground lakes in the world, where classical music concerts are held live.
Cuevas dels Hams are known for their peculiar hook-shaped formations (“hams” in Mallorcan). The different caves of the system present a spectacular botanical garden with native fauna. You can also enjoy the audiovisual time-lapse Genesis, projected on the rock, which shows the history from the Big Bang to the present day.
Cuevas Blancas, at the end of the Porto Cristo sea promenade, are a group of grottoes made of white rocks, which were used as housing for years, until the 19th century.
Leisure and free time
The leisure offer of Porto Cristo and its surroundings is immense. In the town, walking along its streets, you can visit the mermaid’s statue, Torre des Falcons, an old watchtower (1577) standing over a cave, or the church Mare de Déu del Carme, dedicated to the patron saint of the sailors.
Nearby, and perfect to spend a pleasant day with the family, is the Sa Coma Safari Zoo. The natural environment of Porto Cristo is ideal for practicing outdoor activities, both water-related (kayaking, sailing, diving …) and on land (cycling, horse riding or hiking).
There are also several golf courses within 20 km from the Cala Mandia Park hotel.
