Santa Eularia des Riu

At the edge of this town on the island's eastern coast, to the right below the road, a Roman bridge crosses what some claim is the only permanent river in the Balearics (hence des Riu, or "of the river"). The town itself follows the curve of a long sandy beach, a few blocks deep with restaurants, shops, and vacation apartments. From here it's a 10-minute drive to Sant Carles and the open-air hippie market, Las Dalias, held there every Saturday morning. The popular Las Dalias night market offers shopping with live music, food, and drinks and runs from June to September, every Monday and Tuesday (and on Sunday in August).
