Nature and natural park in Majorca, Balearic Islands

Nature and the environment have become of great interest for the local authorities.

Conscious indeed of the importance of the fauna in Mallroca and the flora in Majorca, the nature reserves and the protected zones are in continuous expansion.
These protected areas cover approximately 40% of the Majorca island!!
For those tourists who have a stereotypical idea of the island: beach, sun, sea... this may be a good occasion to discover the natural splendours of Majorca and its rustic, untarnished interior. The tourist development for this more agricultural tourism is increasing a little every year.
