About Sant Lluís, Es Castell and Binibeca: the back story

Sant Lluís

Country restaurants such as Sa Pedrera d’es Pujol and Pan y Vino, and rural hotels such as Alcaufar Vell and Biniarroca.

Binibeca Vell’s white lanes run down to a tiny harbour.

Our advice: dinner in Torret, then a late walk at Cales Fonts.
