The Natural Area of Cap Enderrocat is an area with a great scenic interest due to the different cliffs that we find in the south of Mallorca as well as a peculiar vegetation that has adapted to the wind that blows.
Sa Dragonera has belonged to the Majorca Council since 1987, but it was only in 1995 that the Government of the Balearic Islands approved the declaration of Natural Park. Natural Park of sa Dragonera Even though the Natural Park is named sa Dragonera, it also includes the islet of Pantaleu, the island Mitjana and els Calafats within its protected area, because of their shared environmental conditions, they are very valuable due to their magnificent state of natural conservation. Sa Dragonera has belonged to the Majorca Council since 1987, but it was only in 1995 that the Government of the Balearic Islands approved the declaration of Natural Park in order to guarantee the conservation of this space, and show it to all that want to know it. The island of Sa Dragonera is, geologically, the continuation of the Majorcan Serra de Tramuntana, but its vegetation is not the same because it is conditioned by the dimensions of the island, by the steep topography and the influence of the sea. The most common vegetation is littoral, in rocky areas, the coastal areas, the brushwoods of wild olive trees and rosemary, which is very abundant. Concerning the fauna of the park, its name Dragonera gives much away. The common gecko and the lizard are the only known reptiles on the island of sa Dragonera. In fact, apart from the birds, there were no mammals until the arrival of humans. In this way rabbits, goat, sheep, hedgehogs and rats were introduced, some of them for specific purposes and others in accidentally. The vell marí was an autochthonous mammal inhabiting the area, but declined in number and, in fact, there are now just a few left in the Mediterranean. The cetaceans that still can be frequently seen are the common dolphin and the dofí mular. As usually happens in natural parks in coastal areas, birds are the most habitual fauna, numerous and diverse. Sa Dragonera, Pantaleu and la Trapa were declared ZEPA areas (Bird Special Protection Zone). The most frequent marine species are the puffin, cormorant, virot, vulgar seagull and red seagull. Among the percy birds, are the peregrin falcon, the falcó marí, the kestrel and the little owl.
It is located in an old Majorcan manor house of the Gelabert de la Portella family. The only architectural element that has endured over time is an impressive Gothic pointed arch, as the current house is the result of transformations and extensions carried out between the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries. It serves as an exhibition hall, with works by local and national artists, as well as a stage for theater performances, film screenings and music concerts.
The Casal Son Tugores is located in the municipality of Alaró and acts as a multifunctional hall where we can find art galleries, conference rooms and the municipal library of Alaró.
The La Tafona gallery is part of the cultural activities at the Hotel La Residencia in Deià, which is pleased to make its services available to all guests.
The gallery was opened in November 2007 with an exhibition by artist Pascual de Cabo. It is located in an old Mallorcan house, and the exhibition area extends from the main room on the ground floor to the vaulted basement which can be reached via a staircase.
The museum is the same house where the artist lived half his life, where he carried out some of his most important work as a painter. The building houses a large part of Dionís Bennàssar’s artistic legacy, as well as many of his personal objects, furniture, etc. In this 17th century house, visitors can view the Foundation’s art patrimony, comprising several collections: Oils on canvas, watercolours, drawing, sculpture, etc. The museum also houses the Fundación Dionís Bennàssar offices.

At the bottom of this small coastal inlet called Es Barcarès, between the islet called Es Barcarès, between the islet that bears his name and the Punta de ses Seques, has been forming a tiny bay embroidered with lace by tiny beaches of golden sand and remains of posidonia clinging between the breakwaters. At its feet there are built several nice old-fashioned houses, with garage for their boats. And all this nestled in a humble urbanization where mainly Spanish and French people live. There is very little bottom, little slope and even less waves. It is all good for children.
