TOP OF CHAPTER
Cala Figuera
If you could see Cala Figuera from the air, it would look like a snake with its jaws open
wide, biting into the pine trees and low buildings of the resort. Although the town itself is
nothing special, the romantic, restaurant-lined port is one of the prettiest on the east
coast. A few yachts and pleasure cruisers line up beside the painted fishing boats, but
Cala Figuera retains its air of old-world authenticity. Local fishers really still fish here,
threading their way down the winding inlet before dawn and returning to the port to
mend their nets.
