Es Canar
Busy small town with good budget accommodation
The cheaper alternative to many of the bigger beach resorts and popular towns, Es Canar has it all for those who want a great fun packed holiday...but on a budget.
The town itself has a real buzz with plenty of restaurants, cafés, bars, shopping and some lovely beach clubs. It's also the closest town to the wonderful Punta Arabi Hippy market, which is a mere five minutes walk from the centre of town. The town itself surrounds a tiny harbour and long sandy beach which offers plenty of water sports and sun bathing.
