Port d'Andratx live webcams

What you can see on the Port d'Andratx webcams

One camera looks up the bay from near its mouth to the harbour wall, the moorings and the waterfront, with the mountains behind the town. Another looks down from the heights of La Mola, over villa roofs, to the inner harbour packed with masts. The third faces Cala Llamp, the deep cove just south of the port, where steep slopes of white villas end in golden cliffs above the open sea. Between them you can see the boats coming and going, how sheltered the harbour is and whether the open sea outside is calm or rough.

Port d'Andratx harbour webcam, up the bay to the town

From a point near the mouth of the bay, this camera looks inland up the length of the natural harbour. Deep blue water fills the foreground, often crossed by the wake of a boat heading out; in the middle, the harbour wall reaches out from the left shore, and behind it hundreds of masts crowd the moorings in front of the waterfront. Villas cover the rocky slopes on both sides, and the jagged peaks of the Tramuntana close the view.

It is the camera for the sea and the sky over the port: whether the bay is flat or ruffled, how busy the boat traffic is and whether cloud is gathering on the mountains. In the late afternoon the sun comes from behind the camera and lights the whole harbour and its hills.

Port d'Andratx from the heights of La Mola

High on La Mola, the headland that shelters the harbour from the south-west, this camera looks across the hillside towards the town. Villa roofs and pines tumble down the slope in the foreground; beyond them the inner harbour shows as a pool of blue packed with masts, and behind the town the valley climbs to a ring of grey limestone peaks. On the right, more villas cover a ridge that drops to a small, rocky inlet. Dark patches over some houses are privacy masks set by the owner.

This is the widest view of Port d'Andratx and its mountains, good for seeing the weather coming over the hills and the light changing across the bay; it comes into its own in the golden hour before sunset.

Cala Llamp, the cove next to Port d'Andratx

Cala Llamp is the deep cove just south of Port d'Andratx, and this camera looks across it from the rooftops on its shore. The water in front is dark blue and deep; across the cove a steep headland is covered from the waterline almost to its summit with white villas, and on the right it ends in sheer golden cliffs, beyond which the open sea stretches to the horizon.

Because the cove opens straight onto the sea, this is the most exposed of the Port d'Andratx views: it shows the swell rolling in, the boats anchored for a swim and, on calm days, a surface like glass. The late sun turns the cliffs a deep gold.
