Cala Millor
and Cala Bona
In the north-east of Mallorca, Cala Millor is larger, more
sprawling and less upmarket than Cala d'Or further south,
and much more of a family resort than Magalluf or S'Arenal.
Cala Bona is smaller and quieter than its neighbour.
Calamillor-mallorca.com
An endearing site from Ian Morrison. This sentence speaks
volumes: "Most of the British Bars offer night-time entertainment
like quizzes, bingo, race nights, karaoke, Play Your Cards
Right, plus live entertainers."

Calvià
Mallorca
Now calls Calvià "a beautiful example of an
authentic Majorquin village," in which context it is
referred to as "Calvià Vila," to distinguish
it from coastal resorts like Magalluf and Palma Nova which
fall within the municipality.
Calvia.com
Town council site which does not feel the least bit municipal,
in fact it is as smart an affair as I have had the pleasure
to see on the Internet in a long time. Unsurprisingly, the
most interesting stuff is to be found clicking "Visit
Calvià and its touristic areas." The exhortation
to residents to "Complain more" puzzles me, though
- are Calvians famous whingers, or do they need to go through
some kind of access control to get into the site (enter User
ID, password, gripe)?
Calvia-mallorca.com
A cumbersome name for a rather good commercial site.

Ca'n Pastilla
A newer, smaller, nicer and quieter version of
neighbouring S'Arenal.

It takes a certain courage to go back to something that has
failed in the past, so I wish this site well as it comes back
on line. Listings, links and cheap cigarettes.

Deià
One of the most attractive villages on Majorca,
Deià has long been frequented by artists and other
bohemians, most famously Robert Graves.
Deia.info
A site by Jeremy Lynton (see under Soller, below), and one
of his better ones.
Deia
- from the BBC
An article by one Carole Smillie, who writes about herself
in the third person. Sign of the times: she mentions Michael
Douglas but not Robert Graves.
Deià
- the municipal site
Absolutely first rate, especially considering that Deià
is one of the smallest places on the island (pop. 613).
Magaluf/Magalluf
and Palma Nova
Magalluf has a reputation as a young people's (not to say
lager louts') resort, which is at least to a certain extent
justified. If high-rise is not your thing and, especially,
if you are bothered by noise and serious partying and all
that entails, this may not be the place for you and you would
be advised to at least check to see what kind of neighbours
you are likely to have. On the other hand, you can find really
good hotel deals for Magalluf, developments are usually of
good quality (when finished) and most people have a great
time there. Palma Nova is a slightly quieter place, mainly
because it is a little less developed, and said to be a good
place for a holiday with children.
Magalluf-Palma
Nova.com
A surprisngly staid site sponsored by the Magalluf and Palma
Nova Scene, a local print magazine which I have never seen
but must be full of classified ads, if this web site is anything
to go by.
Palma
Nova - from Majorca-Mallorca.co.uk
The lowdown from this double-barrelled URL, the best part
being the introduction..
Shagalluf
This site explains that its name is a reference to "the
classic... (American) ...dance from the 1930's,"
so shame on you if you were thinking anything else. A most
enjoyable site with lots of information about bars and clubs,
especially, and even some good music under "Tunes."

Manacor
An inland town, the second largest centre of population on
the island, within the muncipality of which fall a number
of minor calas and, especially, the attractive fishing
village of Porto Cristo. Manacor itself is most famous for
the artificial pearls (Majorica)
invented and made there.
Manacor
The municipal site has an intimidating entrance page, and
the English-language tourist information seems to have disappeared.
Manacor, its monuments, calas, rural tourism and, under
"Discovering Manacor," photos.
InfoManacor
A Spanish-only commercial portal. I have not explored it in
depth, but it looks fine, and you might even find a summer
job here (look under "Anuncios" for ads beginning
with "Empleo."
