Mallorca - A Vegetarian/Vegan tour

Summary

Almost 200 kilometres from the nearest mainland coast, Mallorca (Majorca) has a range of high mountains (with 37 peaks over 1,000 metres), one of the largest marshes in the western Mediterranean, and a wealth of the garrigue and maquis vegetation so typical of the region. These features are in part the reason for the island’s rich birdlife, but Mallorca’s appeal to the naturalist also lies in the close proximity of its very varied habitats, enabling all of them to be covered easily from a single base, without the need to change hotels or travel vast distances, thus leaving more time to enjoy the natural sites in a more relaxed way. Further, Mallorca lies along one of the major bird migration routes across the Mediterranean and, due to its comparative isolation, is home to a number of rare species such as Cinereous Vulture, Eleonora’s Falcon, Audouin’s Gull and Balearic Warbler, not to mention an excellent range of butterflies, dragonflies, reptiles and flora.

During the week we will enjoy visits to the Parc Naturel de S’Albufera, a 2,200 hectare freshwater marsh, and the Tramuntanas Mountains, home of the rare Cinereous Vulture and other raptors. The spectacular Formentor Peninsula, with newly arrived Eleonora’s Falcons, is another area not to be missed. The comfort and simplicity of a wildlife tour in this area, and the short driving distances involved, make this a most relaxing holiday and ideal for the naturalist.

Whether you are an omnivore, vegetarian or vegan, we warmly welcome you to join a tour (or two!) from our new collection of vegetarian and vegan wildlife tours.
