Binibeca Vell on the west side of the resort has become the main attraction with its Menorca styled fishermen's village designed in 1972 by Spanish architect Antonio Sintes. It's a traffic-free zone, ideal for families to take a walk around if they want a break from sunbathing.

 

Markets are held at Binibeca Vell by the locals offering their produce at nearby the fishermen's village. I must visit!

Binibeca to Punta Prima Road Train

The Binibeca Land Train ran hourly past the villa we visited May 10th 2019. The villa was situated on the main coastal route from Cala Torret to Binibeca Vell. This service was very popular and only cost 7 euros for a return ticket from Binibeca to Punta Prima. Great value and a perfect way to see many of the coastal sights along the way! 

​

Pick up/drop off points are along the route between Punta Prima and Binibeca. They are clearly marked with some brand new signage which also contains full timetable details, route map and fares. I love the branding.

​

This service was running at the beginning of the season in May and runs until late Sept/Oct depending on how busy the area is with holidaymakers. *Recommended**
