The Port at Peace: October in Port d'Andratx
The seafront terraces are no longer crowded, the streets can be strolled at leisure, and the port regains its unhurried rhythm. This is how Port d'Andratx in October feels—a time of year when this corner of southwest Mallorca reveals its most authentic side. For guests of La Pergola, it is the perfect opportunity to discover the port without the crowds, enjoying its maritime essence and the calm brought by the Mediterranean autumn.
A port with a seafaring soul
Although today it is known for its cosmopolitan atmosphere and dining options, Port d'Andratx still preserves the soul of a traditional fishing port. Every morning, the boats unload their catches at the lonja (fish market), which then make their way to local restaurants in the form of fresh seafood and fish dishes. A walk along the dock at sunrise is an experience that connects visitors with the most genuine side of Mallorca.
Autumn strolls by the sea
In October, Mallorca's climate offers mild temperatures —averaging between 18 and 24 ºC— perfect for strolling along the Port d'Andratx promenade. Around the bay, terraces invite you to pause with a coffee or a glass of local wine while watching the golden light of sunset bathe the façades and the sea.
The autumn calm also makes it possible to explore the narrow streets of the port, where art galleries, boutiques, and local shops blend into the relaxed atmosphere of the low season.
Local flavors on the table
Autumn in Port d'Andratx is also reflected in its cuisine. Seafront restaurants serve fresh fish of the day, accompanied by seasonal products such as esclata-sangs mushrooms or freshly harvested almonds. Simple dishes like grilled raor or a rock octopus stew showcase the direct connection between the port and Mallorcan gastronomy.
In addition, the nearby Mercat d'Andratx, held every Wednesday, offers fruits, vegetables, and local products that form part of the valley's daily life.
Culture and nature just steps away
Beyond the port, October is an ideal time to combine the calm of the sea with nearby excursions. Just a few kilometers away lies the Monestir de la Trapa, a former monastery in ruins with breathtaking views of Sa Dragonera. For art lovers, the CCA Andratx presents exhibitions by contemporary artists in a leading cultural space (CCA Andratx).
In this way, Port d'Andratx becomes a perfect starting point for those seeking an autumn filled with calm, culture, and landscapes.
