Fauna and Flora
The Levante Peninsula of Mallorca hosts a remarkable diversity of habitats.
The Parc de Llevant is a 1,700-hectare nature reserve under special protection for birds, home to colonies of Audouin’s gulls, Eleonora’s falcons, booted eagles, and sparrowhawks. Its Mediterranean tortoise populations are particularly noteworthy.
The vegetation is also exceptionally rich and varied, featuring pine forests, holm oak woodlands, and the characteristic flora of the Mallorcan garrigue. Punta de n’Amer, located between Sa Coma and Cala Millor, is an area classified as a Natural Site of Special Interest due to its outstanding natural, cultural, and ecological value.
Spanning 200 hectares, it boasts remarkable diversity with dunes, farmland, and stretches of pine and juniper woods. In addition to typical local plants such as the sea lily, one can find samphire and statice.
Notable fauna in this area includes mammals like the harvest mouse and wild rabbit, as well as birds such as the cormorant, warbler, and shearwater.
Gastronomy
Traditional Mallorcan cuisine is flavourful and diverse. Among its typical dishes are frit de porc, tumbet, arròs brut, and Mallorcan soups.
The signature cold meat of Mallorca is sobrasada, made with pork, lard, and paprika.
The ensaïmada is the crown jewel of pastry. Shaped like a spiral, it can be filled with cream, chocolate, custard, or angel hair, among other options. Wine is also an integral part of the island’s culinary heritage. Two geographical areas hold Designation of Origin: Binissalem and Pla i Llevant.

The archaeological site of S’Illot, located just a few kilometres from Cala Millor, is one of the finest examples of the Talayotic culture, although the caves of Ses Crestes and Ses Pedreres were already inhabited during the Pre-Talayotic era, around 1500 BC.
At one end of Punta de n’Amer stands a square-shaped defence tower built in the 17th century, now transformed into a small museum offering spectacular views of the coastline.
