Nationalpark S'Albufera

Only 5 km from the finca your will find thie superb Nationalpark. The park is located right at one of Ca´n Picafort, in the centre of the Bay of Alcudia. Its extension is of 1.708,75 hectares with a coastline of 1,45 Km. (beach and dunes).
It is an area of special protection for the birds. Until today more than 200 species of birds have been observed. The mammals are of small size. The vegetation is less varied, the most exceptional plant being the grass orchid.
Historically 'La Albufera' was probably well known and used since prehistoric times. There is also evidence of Arab farmhouses in the area. The name "S´Albufera" is of Arab origin, "Albuhayra" meaning lagoon. We have many testimonies of medieval times, after the Catalan conquest, that tell us about the use of 'La Albufera' for hunting and fishing, generally reserved for the King and the nobility.
From C'an Picafort, you can visit the Park by bicycle since the road has a special lane for bicycles. However, it is also possible to make this trip using tracks through the interior of the Park.
 

Las Gaviotas and Platja de Muro

La Platja de Muro occupies 5.5 km of Muro´s coastline. It is made up of dunes with low vegetation and pines and forms part of the 8.5km-long beach which runs along the Bay of Alcúdia, starting at Can Picafort and ending at Port d´Alcúdia, with the wetlands of Albufera Gran de Mallorca behind. Some sections are developed - with hotels, apartments and houses - creating a low-rise tourist zone that has all the necessary services to enjoy holidays with family or friends. To reach the beach, take the road C-712 that joins Port d´Alcúdia with Artà, and you´ll come to it before Can Picafort. A large section of the beach is completely unspoilt, with a pine-shaded zone between the dunes with benches and tables for eating. The beach has an abundance of fine white sand.
Services: at the developed areas there are bars and restaurants, as well as sun loungers and parasols for rent.

C'an Picafort

Ca'n Picafort is a tourist area with an important offer of accommodation, basically of beachside hotels. Contrary to many of the resorts on the island, it is not only a holiday resort. C'an Picafort is, additionally, a village with the peculiarities and the normal life of a small coastal town. Its history is documented since 1860, its centre being the oldest one, with its simple houses with wide terraces, that grew starting at the jetty, where nowadays the marina is located.The distance to Palma is 54 Km, half of which is a motorway, crossing the whole island right through its middle.

Located in the Northwest of the island of Mallorca, in the very centre of the Bay of Alcudia, the biggest bay of the Balearics, with 17 kilometres of beach. Preserved areas of woods extend towards the east, with only two small villages and hardly any tourist development. At this end of the bay is Cap Farrutx, one of the most beautiful areas of the island, with cliffs and pinegroves of difficult access by car, but not by boat or hiking.
