For a relaxing break abroad, Puerto Pollenca may be the ideal place for people to recharge their batteries.

With sun, sea and sand in abundance, visitors to Pollenca - located in the north-east of Mallorca - may want to do little more than relax on one of the several beaches in the area and work on that tan. And as warm temperatures are guaranteed at any time of year, a trip to this part of the island - also known as Majorca - is likely to see holidaymakers return home looking bronzed.

However, there is much more for people to do then just be a beach bum over the duration of their vacation.

Due to its coastal location, the town is an ideal place for watersports enthusiasts, with scuba diving, windsurfing and snorkelling among the many activities on offer. Those who are passionate about boats will also have the chance to go sailing.

Feeling peckish?

And those who have worked up an appetite after spending a day on the water will find eating options are plentiful. With Chinese, Italian and French cuisine - as well as traditional Spanish fare - just a selection of the foods on hand, visitors will be spoilt for choice when it comes to picking a restaurant or cafe for something to eat.

Holidaymakers looking for a little retail therapy are likely to want to visit the weekly market. Held every Wednesday, the market offers people the chance to purchase a wide variety of local produce ranging from fruit and vegetables to meat and cheese. For a truly authentic holiday experience, visitors may wish to buy a traditional Mallorcan shopping basket to put their purchases in.

Numerous art galleries and museums in the town, as well as its various bars, are also sure to help visitors get away from the stresses at home. So why not consider Puerto Pollenca as your next Spanish holiday destination?
