FONTS UFANES




      The Fonts Ufanes are a protected area and a unique hydro-geological

phenomenon that occurs in Campanet, a village in Mallorca.

      The underground springs leaks out due to an accumulation of rain in the Puig

Tomir ( Tomir hill).

      It's one of the most important tourist attractions in the Balearic Islands. It’s

visible after periods of heavy rain.
BEACHES
      In Mallorca there are beautiful beaches. Here are some examples:




Es Trenc might be the best beach in Mallorca. People from all around the world come

to the island to see it. It is 3.000 metres long and it is a natural area since 1984.




Es Caragol is one of the virgin beaches in Mallorca. It is an extensive place with

dunes of very thin sand. It is less visited than Es Trenc because of its situation, in a

private area away from touristic centres.
ES TORRENT DE PAREIS.




      The Torrent de Pareis is a torrent situated in one of the steepest sites

of the Tramuntana mountain range. It is a karstic canyon, three kilometres

long. It is widely visited by hikers especially in the summer, when it is dry and

people can walk it completely, from the beginning in Lluc all the way to the

beach of Sa Calobra. It's a hard trip!
S'ALBUFERA D'ALCÚDIA




      The natural park of S'Albufera of Alcúdia is situated facing the bay of

Alcudia, in the municipalities of Muro and Sa Pobla. It is the most important wetland

in the Balearic Islands.

      It is one of the most important ecosystems in Mallorca. Flora and especially

fauna is rich and varied. We can find about 230 types of birds, most of them migrant

birds, such as flamencos, which stop there to rest or to spend the winter. Mammals,

reptiles, amphibians, different types of fish are also found.

      The park can be accessed either on foot or by bycicle.
WATER MILLS




      The blades of the mill are turned by the wind. This is how the blades start the

water pump. The water pump expands and contracts bringing the water up with it.
FUN WITH WATER




             There are a lot of activities related to water in Mallorca that you are

going to discover this week. These include not only surfing and sailing, but also:

swimming pools, aquatic parks, kite surfing, water skiing,... You can even visit the

dolphins at Marineland!!
WATER, WATER,WATER.




      Mallorca is an island in the Mediterranean Sea; therefore we are entirely

surrounded by water. For some people, especially people from the main land or for

foreigners, it is a bit claustrophobic because wherever you go, the sea always stops

you from going any further. However the native people are very proud of living here

and enjoy the beautiful pictures our landscape offers.
