The town Cala Ratjada on Majorca has only about 6200 inhabitants. But during the main season this number skyrockets. It feels like there are tourists everywhere. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Cala Ratjada is located in the northeast of the island, about 80 kilometres from Palma de Mallorca. Steep cliffs and small bays characterise the look of the coastline. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first hotel in this little fishing town was build in 1885. However, they managed to keep the influx of new buildings under control until 2000, only in the following years more and more hotels were built. Even today, all hotels are fortunately rather small and only a few taller buildings can be found. Some of the beaches are so remote that there are no buildings at all anywhere near them. Cala Ratjada is the second most important fishing port of the island. Mainly rays (ratjadas) and crayfish are caught here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
