Punta de N´Amer Mallorca

This 200-hectare nature reserve on a headland jutting out from the east coast is an oasis of peace amid a desert of high-rise apartments and hotels. Once, the whole coast was like this thankfully, environmentalists have saved this small section from development. Walk south from Cala Millor, or north from Sa Coma, on a well-defined 1.5km track. Eventually you reach the Castell de n'Amer, a 17th century watchtower. Have a drink at the summit and look down at what you have left behind.
