S'Albufera d'Es Grau, Illa den Colom i Cap de Favaritx Nature Reserve
A paradise for birds
Not only is it exceptional because it has become an excellent habitat for many bird species, but also its morphology means visitors can observe them.
In a stunning beautiful setting, to the north of the city of Mahón, stands Cap de Favaritx and, opposite, a short way away, l'Illa d'en Colomi. The ensemble shapes a coastline of gentle beaches, with several low rocky sections. Bird watching and the area's tourist attraction, make it one of the favourite places of visitors to the island.
