Questions and answers
Where can I park at Cala Torta?
There are few spaces and the last stretch is on foot. Arrive in the morning, before the car park fills up.
Can I get to Cala Torta by TIB bus?
No line has been confirmed. You can walk in along the trail from Cala Mesquida; check the bus timetable to Cala Rajada at tib.org.
Is Cala Torta good for children?
Not really: the seabed drops away quickly, and strong currents can appear when there are waves (de.wikipedia). Cala Agulla is a better choice for children.
