The old town of Portocolom, located on Mallorca's southeastern coast, is one of the best-preserved historical centers on the island. It offers visitors a glimpse into the life of a traditional fishing village and highlights the significance of maritime activities in the region.

In the harbor area, known as Es Riuetó, you’ll find the characteristic fishermen's houses, complete with boat ramps and simple doors. Anchored nearby are the “llauts”, traditional boats still in use today and an integral part of the local culture.

The centerpiece of the old town is the Mare de Déu del Carme church, dedicated to the patron saint of fishermen. This church is one of the few remaining historical structures in Portocolom and reflects the town's religious and cultural heritage.

The narrow streets of the old town invite exploration, showcasing the architecture and layout of a classic fishing village. Close to the harbor, the connection between the past and present daily life becomes tangible.

Portocolom's old town offers an authentic insight into Mallorca’s history and remains a place where traditions thrive. It is a must-visit for those seeking to explore the island beyond its main tourist hubs.
