| Cabrera is a
national park made up of 19 small islands. It is situated off
the south coast of Majorca and is accessible by boat from
Colònia de Sant Jordi or Portopetro. The trip takes about
an hour. Permission is needed if a private boat is used and also
if an overnight stay at anchor is required.
On a hill stands Cabrera castle,
overlooking the surrounding area. Tourist trips to the
islands are available throughout the summer from Colonia Sant
Jordi but the number of visitors allowed is limited to 200 per
day. As well as the castle, there is a museum and a small
beach. The sea is a deep azure turning to pale turquoise
near the beach. This are is protected and there is no
fishing allowed. Deep sea diving is supposed to be
particularly good here. There are a species of lizard
which live on the islands that have slightly different
characteristics to those found on the mainland and are found
nowhere else. There are plenty of seabirds and other
species to be found. On the trip back the boat diverts to
Sa Cova Blava or blue cave and trippers are permitted to swim in
the crystal clear water.
