Calas de Mallorca -- Turism
Ciutadella, a major urban centre, was the former capital of the island of Minorca. A journey through the streets of its historic quarter, declared a National Historic-Artistic Monument, will bring you closer to the noble and religious history of this city.
The earliest reference to settlements in this area dates back to the arrival of the Carthaginians, who populated the island. Later on, in the 13th century, it was reconquered by Alfonso the Liberal. At that time, the island went through a boom period that led to the construction of many great houses and churches. In 1558, the city was destroyed by the Turks. It took a year for it to be rebuilt and when it was complete a wall was erected to protect the city. Within it, numerous palaces were built. Ciutadella lost the status of capital of Minorca with the British Invasion of 1722, although the bishopric remained there as the maximum ecclesiastical authority. In the 19th century, the wall was demolished and new districts were built farther away from the historic quarter, marking the beginning of the boom in the jewellery and shoemaking industries.
Ciutadella's port is a very interesting place to visit as well. Along its coastline you will find beautiful coves like Forcat, Blanes, Santabria, Blanca, etc.

Golf courses
Club de Golf Costa Ballena
Carretera El Puerto de Santa María - Chipiona, km 5
11520 Rota (Cádiz)
Tel. +34 956847070 / Fax +34 956847050
holes: 18
par: 72
José María Olazábal was the brains behind the design of this 27-hole course situated on the coast of the province of Cadiz, covering an area of more than 400 hectares and belonging to two different municipalities, Rota and Chipiona. It is a course with wide and very versatile tees and so the game can be enjoyed by both professional players and those with a lower level of golf. The round is comfortable and there is plenty of water.
The par-3 16th is particularly worth a mention as the green is surrounded by a lake. The course at Costa Ballena is considered to be one of the best courses in Spain, and there is also a prestigious golf school, a 9-hole course and a high-performance centre for professional players. It is situated 5 km from El Puerto de Santa María on the road to Rota.
