  • Year: 2023<\/li>\n

    The beautiful bay of Portals Vells and the unique landscape of Cal\u00f3 d\u2019en Monjo in Calvi\u00e0 were chosen as the natural setting for the acclaimed BBC crime drama series, The Mallorca Files (2019-2022). This series, starring two detectives, a British woman and a German man, aimed to reflect the true essence of the island, exploring its natural beauty and aspects such as its gastronomy and lifestyle.<\/p>\n

    In the television series, two completely opposite detectives, the meticulous detective Miranda Blake (Ellen Rhys) of the London Metropolitan Police and the German detective Max Winter (Julian Looman), are hired by the Chief of Police of Palma de Mallorca, In\u00e9s Villegas (Mar\u00eda Fern\u00e1ndez Ache), to solve crimes committed on the island, generally those that threaten the international community.<\/p>\n

    The Calvi\u00e0 coast, including the unique Portals Vells area, is a recurring location. Its cliffs and rocky areas provide the perfect backdrop for the most dramatic scenes, action sequences, investigations, and exciting nautical chases.<\/p>\n

    In season 1, the theft of the famous icon of Saint Nicholas and its links to a Russian oligarch lead Miranda and Max to the Portals Vells cave, where the plot culminates in a chase and escape by boat out to sea.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”10px”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_single_image image=”29961″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center” onclick=”link_image” css=””][\/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]
