Description: This challenge starts at the stunning Es Carbo beach a 30-45 minute walk from the port of Colonia Sant Jordi. The walk alongside the protected Sa Vall finca will be part of your warm up as you get ready to swim back past a series of small islands and over fascinating sites including piles of broken roman pottery used as ballast by ancient boats. You’ll also swim through a short section of cooler water where an underground stream enters the sea water. Keep an eye out along the Es Carbo (‘carbon’ or ‘coal’) beach for small black volcanic rocks swept to the beach by sea currents from Italy.
On arrival back at the Port Beach we’ll have an early & hearty FREE LUNCH waiting for you; a selection of freshly prepared local Paella’s! There is no greater reward for exercise than food, and no greater Spanish food than Paella – especially when it contains locally sourced ingredients…..grab a plate and get stuck in!
