Walking along Carretera de Sa Farola from Cala en Blanes to Ciutadella Ciutadella residents have the luxury of having the old road linking Cala en Blanes to Ciutadella: the Sa Farola promenade. This road was massively discontinued when the new one was built, and for a while it was in very bad condition. In 2008 the road refurbishment work was completed. The result was the magnificent Sa Farola promenade, a road with a two-way bike lane, and a lane for cars.
The promenade allows you to reach Cala en Blanes along the coast.

The beach of Sa Farola, also known as Cala des Frares, is a tiny cove located very close to the port of Ciutadella.
It is a very very small beach with hardly any sand space for towels.
Most of the bathers use the concrete platforms built around the sea.
This beach is very well protected from the wind, so the water is always calm.
In addition, from 2021 the entry of boats to this area has been banned.
It has been a drastic measure to protect the posidonia meadows on the seabed in the area.
If you end up on this beach, it is most likely because you are walking along the magnificent Paseo de Sa Farola, which connects Ciutadella with Cala en Blanes along the coast.
The Torre del Ram Hypogeum is located in the urbanization of Cala en Blanes.
It is a funerary hypogeum of the Bronze Age.
This hypogeum was used as a collective burial place.
In its interior the members of a family or community were deposited as they died.
