    Santa Pon\u00e7a is one of Mallorca\u2019s most iconic bays, a place where cinema not only captured the beauty of the landscape but also marked a milestone in Spain\u2019s cultural history. In 1962, this beach witnessed part of the filming of Bah\u00eda de Palma, a box-office hit that symbolised the openness and cosmopolitanism that tourism was bringing to the island.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_single_image image=”29933″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center” onclick=”link_image” css=””][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row”][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

    A historic milestone: the first bikini<\/strong><\/h4>\n

    Santa Pon\u00e7a beach passed on to cinematic posterity for a revolutionary detail at the time: it was the setting where German actress Elke Sommer wore a bikini for the first time in a Spanish film. This event transformed the film into a symbol of modernity and the municipality of Calvi\u00e0 into the epicentre of a new lifestyle that would attract the attention of all of Europe.<\/p>\n

    El tri\u00e1ngulo amoroso bajo el sol<\/strong><\/h4>\n

    Starring the charismatic Arturo Fern\u00e1ndez and the internationally acclaimed Elke Sommer, the film tells the story of Mario, a melancholic pianist who arrives on the island to work in a nightclub. Amidst the sophisticated nightlife and the luminous landscapes of the bay, Mario finds himself entangled in a love triangle between Olga (Elke Sommer), the rebellious daughter of a local businessman, and Clara (Teresa del R\u00edo), a former piano student. The plot culminates in a moving tribute to Chopin<\/p>\n

    Today, Santa Pon\u00e7a beach remains a favourite destination for residents and visitors alike:
    \n\u2022 The expansive stretch of sand: located between Punta des Castellot and Cal\u00f3 d\u2019en Pellisser, this beach is notable for its width and calm waters.
    \n\u2022 The pine forest: its characteristic pine forest offers a natural shaded refuge.<\/p>\n

    Maritime refuge: thanks to its natural configuration, the bay is an excellent place for anchoring boats, protecting them from north and west winds.<\/p>\n

    Relive the 1960s as you walk along the same sand that Arturo Fern\u00e1ndez and Elke Sommer made cinematic history.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row_content” css=”.vc_custom_1774951366153{background-color: #E4E4E4 !important;}”][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”10px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n
