Access
Coming from the direction of the main roads MA-4027 and MA-4023 along the coast between Cala Bona and Porto Cristo , two roads lead to the south beach of Cala Millor . On the one hand there is Carrer de la Figuera , which merges into Carrer del Sol Naixent and forms the border to Son Servera to the north. The other is the southern Es Carreró de Son Moro , which ends after a roundabout as Avinguda Badia de Llevant at Parc de la Mar. While Es Carreró de Son Moro is directly connected to the MA-4023, the route to Carrer de la Figuera currently only leads via the MA-4026 from Son Servera to Cala Millor.
