These limestone mountains are carpeted in Mauritian grass, Aleppi pine and holm oak. Many breeds of birds make the tree-scattered slopes of the Serra de Llevant their home, including booted eagles, peregrine falcons and Audouin\u2019s gulls.<\/p>\n
The Parc Natural de la Pen\u00ednsula de Llevant is made up of vast geographical diversity, comprising of caves, springs, streams, coastal cliffs, forest and scrublands. The diversity of the landscape not only makes the Parc Natural de la Pen\u00ednsula de Llevant an incredibly stunning part of Mallorca to visit, but also a refuge for many species of wildlife that are endemic to the Balearic Islands.<\/p>\n
Archaeological remains are testament of an ancient human presence in the Parc Natural de la Pen\u00ednsula de Llevant. Two such sites are the coastal watchtower known as the Talaia Moreia and the remnants of a military camp built by Republican prisoners of the Spanish Civil War.<\/p>\n
The Parc Natural de la Pen\u00ednsula de Llevant is popular amongst cyclists, hikers, birdwatchers and wildlife enthusiasts.<\/p>\n
Tucked away in a valley at the side of Llevant natural park is the picturesque town of Art\u00e0. This rural town hasn\u2019t been changed by tourism and is the perfect place to discover authentic Mallorca. Art\u00e0 is famed for its local pottery and basket weaving, as well as its legendary Caves d\u2019Arta, underground caverns that are home to spectacular stalactite and stalagmite formations.<\/p>\n
