Protected natural areas
Our municipality is located between two important natural parks: Finca Pública de Son Real and Parc Natural de s’Albufera de Mallorca. On the one hand, the Finca Pública de Son Real is a natural and historical treasure, thanks to the presence of numerous archaeological sites, its dune system and other ethnological elements. On the other hand, the Parc Natural de s’Albufera de Mallorca is the largest wetland in the Balearic Islands and has become a special protection area for birds (ZEPA) and a place of community importance (LIC). Due to these facts, different itineraries can be found to enjoy its nature and fauna.
