Staying in Portixol and Es Molinar
Portixol and Es Molinar cover more ground than a map label suggests. Choose an address by checking its walking distance to the harbor, the beach and your nearest bus stop separately. The coastal path makes an easy route to follow, but shade is limited. For daily trips into town, plan the return journey as carefully as the outward walk.
