Why visit s’Albufera des Grau?

Located in the northeast of the island, the park is the heart of the Menorca Biosphere Reserve. With over 5,000 hectares of protected landscapes, this natural environment stands out for its great diversity of ecosystems: from wetlands to pristine beaches, pine forests, and coastal cliffs. Here are a few reasons why you should include it in your itinerary:

1. Diversity of fauna and flora

The park is a true sanctuary for biodiversity. It is home to over 200 species of birds, some of which are migratory, and others endemic, like the famous osprey or the cormorant. In addition, it hosts a rich variety of native plants that you can only see in this part of the Mediterranean.

2. Hiking routes for all levels

The park offers a wide range of trails, from easy and accessible paths to longer and more challenging routes. Some trails will take you to impressive viewpoints where you can admire the beauty of Menorca’s coastline and the different habitats that make up the park. Plus, access by car allows you to easily reach the starting points of each route.

3. Es Grau Beach

Within the park is Es Grau Beach, a tranquil stretch of sand characterized by its shallow waters and family-friendly atmosphere. It’s an ideal spot to relax after exploring the trails, and the proximity to parking makes it easy to access with your rental car. Additionally, near the beach, you’ll find the charming village of Es Grau, where you can enjoy local cuisine.

4. Flexibility and comfort

Having a rental car will allow you to reach the park and its surroundings in a more comfortable and flexible way. Once there, you can walk to different points of interest, such as the Rodríguez Femenías Interpretation Center, where you’ll learn more about the park’s history and ecology, or venture out to explore more remote areas without relying on public transportation schedules.

5. Perfect for a day trip

Thanks to its proximity to other points of interest on the island, like Mahón or Fornells, it’s easy to plan a day trip by car to enjoy both the park and other attractions in Menorca. This is especially convenient if you only have a few days to explore the island
