Mondrago Park, Majorca is a nature reserve with an area of 785 hectares, the main attraction of the municipality of Santanyi. Its main feature is the diversity of landscapes - here you can find beautiful bays and beaches.
Cala Mondragó Bay is 2 coves, and, accordingly, two beaches-S'Amarador and Mondrago (this bay is a little bigger, and here on the beach there is a bar).
The sand on both beaches is fine, white, the water is crystal clear - except when many tourists behave not very nicely and litter a lot on the beach (however, this happens infrequently). Mondrago beach was once considered the best in Europe.
To the beaches from the parking are paths along the rocky cliff. On the beaches you can not only sunbathe and swim, but also, having rented equipment for diving, admire the picturesque tropical fish.
In the wet areas of the beaches grows reed.
Mondragó Nature Park
Despite the rather poor soil, with a thin layer covering the limestone, the Mondragó National Park impresses with the abundance and variety of vegetation. The prevailing winds exerted a noticeable influence on the direction of growth of the pines and near the coast.
In addition to pine forests, you can see oak forests with orchids growing in them, juniper bushes, mastic trees and junipers, rosemary and cotoneaster, other berry bushes, grass. In place of the dried up swamp you can see amazingly beautiful succulents, reminiscent of flowers.
Also on the territory of the park there are several rivers, the banks of which are overgrown with reeds.
