Cala Trebalúger, Natural beach in Es Migjorn Gran, Spain
Cala Trebalúger is a natural beach in Es Migjorn Gran featuring white sand that slopes gradually into clear Mediterranean waters. The strand measures around 175 meters long and 40 meters wide, enclosed by rocky cliffs on either side.
The ravine of Son Fideu, through which the Trebalúger torrent reaches the beach, was formerly used for irrigated agriculture, thanks to natural springs and favourable climate for growing fruit trees. In 2012 the Ferreries council acknowledged industrial pollutants in the Trabeluja river, and an agreement was reached in February 2012 to curb the pollution after complaints from the Balearic Group for Ornithology and Nature Defence.
The ravine of Son Fideu, whose torrent reaches the beach, was formerly farmed with irrigation because of its natural springs and mild climate, above all for fruit trees. The beach lies between the municipalities of Es Migjorn Gran and Ferreries, and its isolation keeps it quiet outside August.
Reaching the cove takes about an hour and a half on foot along the Camí de Cavalls, either from Cala Mitjana to the west or from Binigaus via Cala Escorxada and Cala Fustam to the east; the Binigaus route is longer. Boats can also anchor in the bay. Outside August the cove is usually uncrowded.
The stream that reaches the beach comes from the Son Fideu ravine, whose natural springs and climate once supported irrigated fruit-tree farming. In 2012 the Ferreries council acknowledged industrial pollutants in the Trabeluja river after complaints from the Balearic Ornithology and Nature Defence Group, and an agreement was reached that February to curb the pollution.
