About Parc Natural de la Península de Llevant

 

Situated on the northeastern edge of Mallorca, the Parc Natural de la Península de Llevant encompasses an area of rugged coastline, cliffs, pine forests, and Mediterranean shrubland. Designated a natural park in 1991, it serves to protect the unique geomorphology and biodiversity of the peninsula, which is among the least developed parts of Mallorca. The park covers coastal cliffs plunging into crystal-clear waters, sparse rural landscapes, and isolated coves with rocky beaches and abundant marine life. Ecologically, the park is home to endemic plant species such as the Balearic box and various aromatic herbs, along with fauna including butterflies, lizards, and bird species like the Eleonora’s falcon. The park has historical significance with scattered evidence of ancient agricultural terraces and old shepherd huts that speak to traditional land use. Recreational opportunities center largely on hiking, with well-marked trails connecting scenic viewpoints, hidden beaches, and ancient ruins. These trails offer spectacular views of the Mediterranean Sea and nearby islands. The tranquility and limited visitor infrastructure make it an appealing destination for nature lovers seeking solitude and immersive outdoor experiences. The natural park also attracts birdwatchers, photographers, and mountain bikers who use designated paths. Overall, the Parc Natural de la Península de Llevant reveals a blend of geological beauty, ecological importance, and cultural remnants, making it a key protected area in Mallorca’s conservation network.
