Cala d´Albarca is one of the most stunning landscapes in es Amunts Nature Reserve and one of the biggest stretches of sailing waters where there is no human presence, just rocks topped with a sea of pines. The bay, open to the north, is part of the Rubió and Albarca headlands, both of which are over two hundred metres high.
Approaching from the sea there is no shoreline to speak of but simply a rocky coastline with a cave where it is possible to swim. There is also an unusual natural stone bridge over twenty metres high suspended over the Mediterranean. On land, Cala d’Albarca can only be reached on foot, starting from the flat stretch of Sant Mateu and walking for half an hour, although the return path takes much longer. These cliffs, with their abundant vegetation, provide a habitat for numerous bird species including Eleonora’s falcon (Falco eleonorae), which emigrates there from Madagascar.
