Pine walk and Old Town of Pollenca.
Beautiful old windswept pine on the pine walk on
the north side of Port Pollenca.
These piers stop the sand from being blown away
but they still have to import sand each season.
Not an effective sand preserving pier.
Perfect yacht to sail Croatia?
Avoiding hiring a car this trip. Caught the bus (masks required) to Pollenca old town and found Plaza Major.
Mare de Deu del Angels Church.
New steps.
We walked up the Calvari steps - 365 ancient steps (one for each day of the year) and 56 new steps at the beginning - 421 total
to the tiny Calvario Chapel.
Over halfway.
The Calvario Chapel has an elliptical floor plan and a semi-circular apse. The 14th century statue of Jesus on the cross with Mary at his feet is silently paraded around the town as part of the Easter celebrations.
From the top there are great views of Pollenca
and the sea in the distance.
Doorway at the top.
Pollenca old town. This little opening led to a lovely garden and the entry to the museu de Pollenca which used to be a convent.
Gnarled Saracen olive (just means it is ancient)!
The Convent.
