The little harbour of Es Castell, at the mouth of Maó harbour: old fishermen’s caves turned into restaurants with tables by the water.
Es Castell grew as the suburb of Sant Felip castle during British rule: hence its parade ground and Georgian-style houses.
Cales Fonts is the cove where boats took shelter; today it’s one of the liveliest places for an evening stroll.
