Out and About in Calas de Mallorca

TOURIST INFORMATION OFFICE
The Tourist Information Office is in the centre of town and is clearly marked on the map. They speak English and are open from 9.00 am to 4.00 pm Monday to Saturday.

CALA EXPRESS ROAD TRAIN
The road train runs around the resort throughout the day and all its stopping points are shown on the map. The setting off times from the beach are: 09.45 : 10.10 : 10.45 : 11.10 : 11.45 : 12.10 : 13.00 : lunch break : 15.45 : 16.30 : 17.30 : 18.30 : 19.30 ... last train 20.30. Not all these trains go to the Canarios Park, check with the driver. There are trains at 09.30 : 10.30 : 11.30 and 15.30 direct from Canarios Park to the Beach.

BEACHES
The main beach, Playa Domingos Gran is adjacent to the America hotel. You walk down the slip road by the hotel, across the road and down some steps to the beach. It's a doddle going down, but murder coming back up! It's not if you are staying at the Club Es Domingos, it is only down the road in that case.
You can walk across the headland to Playa Domingos Petit. It is a lovely beach but be warned, you can't get a drink down there unless you are staying in the adjacent Riu Tropicana Hotel ... because it all inclusive. There is also the Cala Antena beach but it is a steep walk down to it.

CRAZY GOLF
There are two crazy gold courses in town. The first is adjacent to the Rock Cola bar on the front of the Shopping Centre and other is right in the middle of the Shopping centre in front of the Central Meeting Point bar.

KID'S PLAYGROUNDS
Again, there are two of these in town. The biggest one is opposite the Maria Eugenia Hotel and the other is opposite the Samoa Hotel.

BIKE HIRE
Family fun bikes can be hired from the shop down the ramp by Papgayo's Bar on the front of the Commercial Centre. They also hire scooters and cars.

BARS (just some of them!)

Bar D'Alfil (opposite the post office and tourist information office) have Karaoke four nights a week and a crazy show with John three nights, including the Full Monty once a week.

Black Bull (in the Shopping Centre just behind Rock Cola - opposite the Chinese) Pop in and watch live sport and the Soaps with Juan Carlos. Challenge him to a pool match, but keep an eye on the table, it's got more rolls in it than a local sandwich bar! Also internet facilities here and free playstation.

Central Meeting Place (right in the middle of the Shooping Centre). A great place to sit and watch the world go by. Several UK imported beers. Live sport.

City Cafe (in the Shopping Centre opposite the Samoa Hotel) Quiet and comfortable and, wait for it girls ... no football! A warm welcome awaits you from Martina

Guitarras (opposite the Samoa Hotyel)Spanish owned bar/restaurant. Liver entertainment on the terrace most nights.

O'Donnell's (opposite the Maria Eugenia) Irish bar run by Nick and Lynn. All the live sport, top beers including the best pint of Guinness in town, and live entertainment with resident and guest musicians

Papagayo's Bar (next to D'Alfil) As they say, "no night is the same at Pap's" and you just never know what Darren and Sean will get up to next. Big screen for all top sporting action.

Rock Cola (on the front of the Commercial Centre) Live music, sports and Karaoke Bar

Tiffany's (next to O'Donnell's) Night Club and Disco to the early hours of the morning

SOME PLACES TO EAT

Amarat Restaurant (Just before the America Hotel on the left) Re-opened in 2006 after being closed for a year. Now run by Martina from the City Cafe they offer an international selection of food. Great views out to sea from the restaurant. Best to book a sea-view table.

Bar D'Alfil (opposite the post office and tourist information office) Not expensive but good basic food served by pleasant staff ... and also Eduardo and Alex!!! The Lasagne is recommended.

Casa Pila (opposite the Samoa Hotel). Scottish/Spanish owned, they have been in Calas for more than 20 years (they should get parole soon!). You are always made welcome, British food cooked the British way. Breakfasts highly recommended

China Town (opposite the Black Bull) Chinese restaurant. Good value.

El Grillo (in the Commercial Centre by the bike hire) Open all winter they serve basic food but at a reasonable price. Popular with the Spanish locals.

Mallorca Bar (in the Commercial Centre next to Cala Pila) Local and International cuisine.
