Mondrago Natural Park is a protected area located in the southeast of the Spanish Balearic Island, Mallorca, in the Migjorn region. The park, which spans 765.69 hectares, was established in December 1992 following an initiative by the environmental organization GOB (Grup d’Ornitologia Balear). It is recognized as a natural area of special interest and has been a special bird protection area since 1995 under Directive 79/409/EEC of the European Commission.
Location and Landscape of Mondrago Natural Park
The park is named after Cala Mondrago, a large bay with several smaller bays, and is located on the east coast of Mallorca between the coastal towns of Portopetro in the northeast and Cala Figuera in the south. The park includes the beaches of Caló des Borgit, ses Fonts de n’Alís (also known as Mondrago) and s’Amarador, along with the surrounding dunes, wetlands, and cliffs, as well as the agricultural lands, forests, and low hills of the surrounding area.
Recreational Activities in Mondrago Natural Park
The park has several hiking and cycling trails that can be accessed from the road from Santanyí to s’Alqueria Blanca, and from the road between Santanyí and Cala Figuera. These roads lead to parking lots located at the entrances of the park. Near the northern parking lot of ses Fonts de n’Alís, there is an information center that is open daily (except on December 25 and 31) from 9 am to 4 pm. From here, guided tours of the park can be arranged in advance.
