Mallorca has many beautiful harbors, but only a few have such a flair as the port in Porto Colom! The artist Frank Krüger was also inspired by the very special charm and implemented his very own version of a perfect evening at the port of Porto Colom on canvas! And we are all only too happy to dream ourselves into this scenery!
Tango in Porto Colom? Why not!
While the day slowly goes by and the play of colors of the setting sun is reflected in the sea water, a wonderful melody sounds softly over the port of Porto Colom! An old man sits on one of the stairs and plays a song on the violin that tells of passion, temperament, but also sadness. In front of him, directly on the pier for the Llaut, a couple is completely immersed in the music, dancing to the melody that promises longing and more!
Surreal but beautiful! There is no other way of describing this picture, which the artist spun in his mind and then captured with oil paint. The detailed replica of the port in Porto Colom from bygone times, the lighting and, last but not least, the dancing couple awaken the longing. You automatically dream yourself into the scenery, you can almost hear the music and feel the warmth of the last rays of the sun on your skin. Everything else fades into the background, only the gentle lapping of the waves on the hulls can still be heard. Well, can you feel and experience all of this now?
The port of Porto Colom – a special place!
Just as Frank Krüger shows the port of Porto Colom here in the work of art, it can be seen almost exactly as it is today. Located in the southeast of Mallorca, it is the largest natural harbor on the island. But unlike in other ports, not everything here is designed for large yachts, but the originality of the fishing port has been preserved. Even today it is mostly only the typical Mallorcan llauts that can be found in the port.
If you visit the port of Porto Colom, you will find an original place that has not yet been overrun by the streams of tourists and offers the opportunity to get to know Mallorca from its quiet, but no less beautiful side. A walk along the harbor, then a stroll through the alleys of the old town – this is how life can be enjoyed!
