Property sales in Mallorca rose by 15 per cent both in September and year to date according to Taylor Wimpey de España's latest data.
One area showing growth is Porto Cristo - also known as "'The Port of Christ." While some areas have been a victim of a mass tourism influx there are still towns and villages on Mallorca that have retained their soul and Porto Cristo is certainly one of them.
Situated on the east coast of the island, a 90 minute drive from Palma and the international airport, the town dates back to 1250 AD when the Christians invading Mallorca found a fishing boat washed up on the beach containing a crucifix, hence the religious name. Others say that an ox carrying a religious symbol stopped here and refused to go any further, leading people to believe this was a sign that Christ wanted to remain there.
This natural harbour still maintains its Spanish fishing village influences, however the traditional late afternoon stroll is more about admiring the fishing vessels or yachts rather that the day’s catch.
