Cabrera Archipelago National Park
Parc Nacional Marítimoterrestre de l'Arxipèlag de Cabrera
An uninhabited island national park in the sea south of Mallorca; day boat trips visit a castle, the Blue Cave and clear bays.
The Cabrera Archipelago lies about 10 km south of the southern tip of Mallorca. In 1991 it became Spain's first marine-terrestrial national park. It is almost uninhabited and preserves native Mediterranean ecosystems. Day-trip boats depart from Colònia de Sant Jordi, taking about 30–60 minutes one way. Trips typically include a visit to the 'Blue Cave' (Sa Cova Blava), swimming in the harbour bay of the main island, and a climb to the 14th-century Cabrera Castle for views over the archipelago. The number of visitors allowed onto the island each day is limited, so book well ahead in peak season. Boat tickets cost about 45–55 euros. Supplies on the island are limited, so bring your own water and sunscreen.
