Visit Andratx
Andratx and Port d'Andratx is situated on the island of Mallorca in the Balearic Islands.
Andratx sits surrounded by almond, olive and orange groves and has the Galatos peak rising up above it. Beautiful. The town is about 3km away from the coast in order to discourage attacks by pirates. The Port of Andratx is, obviously, on the coast and this has now become an exclusive holiday resort visited by the rich and famous.
Andratx Attractions
Andratx has fortified towers to repel the pirates and the castle of Son Mas was built at the same time and this now contains paintings by Durer and Tintoretto.
The upper part of the village with its cobbled streets and church of Santa Maria is particularly charming and from here you have views of the Port of Andrax.
Market day is Wednesday and this is a particularly good time to visit Andratx.
