S’Albufera d'Es Grau Nature Reserve
A haven for birds
Not only is this a privileged area having become a habitat par excellence for multiple bird species, its morphology also makes it easy for visitors to spot them.
Cap de Favàritx is an enclave that boasts singular beauty, located to the north of the city of Mahón (Menorca, Balearic Islands), with Illa d'en Colomi just a short distance away. Together, they form a coastline of soft beaches with stretches of low-lying rocks. Bird watching and the appeal of its surroundings make this one of the favourite destinations for visitors to the island.
