Cala Mondrago and Porto Petro

Had an extremely long debrief after supper on Cabrera stretching into the early hours. None of us were unanimous on the search for the perfect digestif by the time (3.30am) all bottles are empty.
So to clear the head we marched up to the castle one last time before sailing off the mooring in a pleasant 15 kts S/E heading for a lunchtime swim in a lovely bay 18 miles up the coast at Cala Mondrago an old haunt from Colin's distant past. It did not disappoint. A turquoise bay with choice of 2 sandy beaches surrounded by sculpted rocks with caves to swim through and of course the beach bar.
After a couple of hours and a good swim it's time to head up the coast to Porto Petro. Another pleasant downwind leg and we take a stern to lazy line on the quayside of Club Nautico. It's a quiet fishing town very pretty. We eat paella  at a great restaurant by the boat the friendly owner telling us how much had changed since he worked with his father 40 years ago.
No partying tonight. We are all knackered.
Next morning we walk in the sunshine  round the dramatic coast back to Cala Mondrago. Beautiful!
