Las mejores calas de Mallorca: Cala Mesquida, la Albufera y “porcella”
Diana Pons - 4/24/15

Como ya sabes, cada mes queremos ayudarte a planificar al máximo tu próximo viaje a las Baleares y por eso intentamos descubrirte algunos de los mejores lugares y calas de Mallorca. En Hotels VIVA queremos ir más allá de ser tu hotel en Mallorca y Menorca y convertirnos también en la mejor guía posible para que saques todo el provecho posible a tus vacaciones. Y unas vacaciones en las islas Baleares son siempre sinónimo de playas paradisíacas.

Muy cerca de todos nuestros hoteles encontrarás siempre una playa por descubrir, como Alcanada y Cala Comptessa, de las que ya te hablamos en febrero y marzo, o la magnífica Cala Mesquida, nuestra primera recomendación para este mes de abril. Son muy pocas las playas en Mallorca que conservan un aspecto tan puro y natural como Cala Mesquida, rodeada de un extenso pinar cuyos tonos verdes contrastan con el blanco de la arena y el intenso turquesa de sus aguas. Para disfrutar al máximo de este rincón paradisíaco puedes reservar aquí tu estancia en uno de nuestros cuatro hoteles en Cala Mesquida, entre los que se encuentra el hotel sólo para adultos, el famoso Vanity Hotels Suite & Spa.

Y aunque en las islas Baleares tenemos algunas de las mejores playas del mundo, tenemos otras muchas cosas que merecen una visita a lo largo de tu estancia. Desde espacios llenos de historia, como las ruinas romanas de Pollentia, hasta lugares en los que la naturaleza no dejará de sorprenderte como la Albufera de Alcúdia, un excepcional parque natural que es, además, una zona de especial protección para aves. Tanto si eres un aficionado a la ornitología como si quieres adentrarte de lleno en la naturaleza mallorquina, te recomendamos un paseo a media mañana por la Albufera.

Pero no sólo de excursiones y playas vas a llenar tus vacaciones si quieres empaparte de la cultura mediterránea ya que, como sabes, es imprescindible que conozcas también su gastronomía mallorquina. Y es que la cocina de Mallorca te ofrece una gran variedad de platos por descubrir que seguro que te sorprenderán, como la “porcella” que se prepara en los mejores “cellers” de la isla. Este plato de lechona destaca por combinar una carne muy tierna con una piel muy crujiente que te sorprenderá a cada mordisco.

No te quedes sin probar este plato típico mallorquín, ni sin descubrir los paisajes y excursiones que te ofrece nuestra isla durante tu estancia en Hotels VIVA y no te pierdas ninguna de nuestras recomendaciones para convertir tu estancia en Mallorca en una experiencia única e inolvidable.

And although in the Balearic Islands have some of the best beaches in the world, we have many other things worth visiting during your stay adding to beaches, like spaces full of history such as the Roman ruins of Pollentia or places where nature will amaze you such as the Albufera de Alcúdia, an exceptional natural park that is also a Special Protection Area for birds. Whether you're into ornitology or you want to delve into the Mallorcan nature, we recommend you a walk at midmorning by the Albufera.

But in order to discover the Mediterreanean culture hiking and beaches are just a tiny bite of it, as one of the essentials is the gastronomy.

Its very tender meat and crispy skin will surprise you at every bite.
