Mondragó Natural Park, Natural park in Santanyí, Spain.
Mondragó Natural Park is a protected coastal zone that combines sandy beaches, rocky limestone cliffs, and wetland areas. The park encompasses different environments where water, stone, and managed lands meet across the Mediterranean shoreline.
The coastal area received protected status in 1992 to prevent urban expansion and preserve its natural systems. This designation secured the region's ecological integrity and its working agricultural traditions.
The park blends rural traditions with natural protection, as local farmers tend olive and almond groves within the protected boundaries. This working landscape reflects how people have used this coastal land for generations.
The park is accessible through marked trails starting from the main parking area, where you can find helpful information about the routes. Wear sturdy shoes and come prepared for changing weather, as paths cross different types of terrain.
The wetland pools of Ses Fonts de n'Alis serve as crucial rest stops for migratory birds crossing the Mediterranean on their journeys. These natural basins provide essential shelter and feeding grounds for thousands of birds passing through twice yearly.

The Balearic Islands contain numerous remote beaches, historical sites, and natural landmarks that reveal layers of human and geological history. From the ancient Talayotic ruins of Torre d'en Galmés to the coastal cliffs of Cap de Formentor, these locations offer stone structures, archaeological remains, and views across the water. The region includes natural reserves like S'Albufera des Grau, historical buildings such as the Lluc Monastery, and coastal features including the rock formations near Sa Pedrera. Walking through these places, you encounter evidence of civilizations that lived here thousands of years ago, alongside the work of nature in shaping cliffs, coves, and island landscapes. Some spots reward you with solitude and wide vistas, while others reveal details carved into stone or built into hillsides. Whether you trace ancient pathways, explore caves with archaeological layers, or stand at a lighthouse overlooking the water, the Balearic islands show how people have lived alongside their landscape for centuries.
Mallorca offers diverse landscapes where fine sandy beaches and wild coves surrounded by limestone cliffs succeed one another.
