A Letter from Your Guide, Mateo Sastre

¡Hola, amigos! I've spent my whole life on these wild cliffs of Santanyí, watching the Mediterranean—or *la mar*, as we locals call it—carve out these beautiful, wind-swept coves. For me, Es Pontàs isn't just a scenic photo stop; it's a living piece of our Mallorcan soul, a silent stone giant that links the ancient spirit of our island with travelers from all over the world.

I see so many visitors walk down the short path from Cala Santanyí, take a quick snapshot of teh arch, and rush off. They miss the real magic—the raw geological forces that shaped it, the peaceful energy of Rolf Schaffner’s stone sculptures, and the wild climbing legends born on these sheer walls. That's why I created this guide. I want to give you a real, down-to-earth, and respectful way to experience our beautiful coast.

Whether you're planning to hike the rugged trails, paddle right through the massive arch in a double kayak, or test your limits deep-water soloing, I've got you covered. Just remember to pack sturdy closed-toe shoes, treat our cliffs with respect, and let's explore this beautiful corner of the Balearics together. You're in for an adventure you won't forget!
