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.
