Town’s name origin
The name Porto Cristo comes from the Latin “porto” and “Cristo”, which means “to carry Christ”. The origin of the toponym is due to the landing of an Italian ship around 1260 A.D., whose crew had promised to leave images of Christ and the Virgin on land if they managed to arrive safely at a port after overcoming a difficult storm at sea. The image of Christ can be contemplated today in the Church of Los Dolores in 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 “Puerto Rojo” (Red Port).
Caves
Porto Cristo is the cradle of the famous Caves of Drach, the Cuevas dels Hams and the Cuevas Blancas.
The Cuevas del Drach are a set of subway caves about 2.4 km long and 25 m deep formed by the action of rainwater that houses one of the largest subway lakes in the world, where live classical music concerts are held.
For their part, the Cuevas dels Hams are known for their peculiar hook-shaped formations (“hams” in Mallorcan). Throughout the different caves of the system, you can visit a spectacular botanical garden with native fauna or enjoy the Genesis audiovisual time lapse, projected on the rock, which shows the history from the Big Bang to the present day.
The White Caves, at the end of the Porto Cristo promenade, are a group of caves formed by white rocks, which were used as dwellings for years, until the 19th century.
Leisure and free time
The leisure offer of Porto Cristo and its surroundings is immense. In the village, walking through its streets, you can visit the statue of the mermaid, the Torre des Falcons, an ancient watchtower (1577) that stands on a cave, or the church of Mare de Déu del Carme, dedicated to the patron saint of sailors.
Very close, perfect to spend a pleasant day with the family, is the Safari Zoo of Sa Coma.
The natural environment of Porto Cristo is ideal for outdoor activities, both aquatic (kayaking, sailing, diving…) and land (cycling, horse riding or hiking). Less than 20 km from the hotel Cala Mandia Park there are several golf courses.
Beaches
The hotel Cala Mandia Park *** is located next to Cala Mandia, a beautiful beach of fine sand and crystal clear waters escorted by cliffs, which can be accessed via stairs (50 meters) or from the street (200 meters).
Other nearby beaches worth visiting in the surroundings are those of Porto Cristo, Cala Romántica, Cala Anguila, Cala Murada and Cala Varques.
The area is ideal to enjoy a swim, relax with a stroll along the sand or enjoy water sports.
