Cala Mondragó is a cove in Mondragó Natural Park in southeast Mallorca, Spain, in the municipality of Santanyí, about 5 km east of the town of Santanyí in a straight line. The park is one of the most visited on the island. The area was declared a natural park in 1992 and is part of the European Natura 2000 network for bird protection. It covers 765 hectares, most of it privately owned, and combines rocky cliffs, pine woods, scrub and traditional farmland. Old dry-stone huts once used as dwellings, stores and animal pens are scattered across it, along with stone walls and lime kilns. Clear turquoise water fills a narrow cove between white limestone rocks, framed by green pines, with white sand glittering in the sun. From above, the cove and its neighbours look like blue fingers reaching into the green land. Visitors reach the park and walk down to the beach, and paths run between the coves and cliffs. Swimming in the calm water is a pleasure, and it gets busy in summer, so arrive in the morning. Help keep the reserve clean.
