Location of Cala Estellencs in Mallorca.
Practical tip
In the summer months the village community runs a simple kiosk bistro right by the fishermen's boat garages.
Along the Ma-10
About 4 km beyond Estellencs towards Andratx, by the small Grau tunnel, is the Mirador de Ricardo Roca(Mirador des Grau): a viewing platform dating from 1919 with a view west over the steep coastline – on a clear day, a spot for watching the sunset. Directly above it is the Es Grau restaurant. There are only two small car parks, which fill up quickly in summer, and no bus stop.
