The Story of Can Picafort — Tombs, Art & Forgotten Defences

Join me on a calm journey along the coastline of Can Picafort, Mallorca, exploring the layers of history and nature that shape this remarkable place. We begin high above the Son Real burial grounds, a prehistoric cemetery overlooking the sea. From there, we drift over the nature reserve, where dunes, pines and open land meet the Mediterranean. A quiet walk brings us to the lake, surrounded by reeds and birds moving gently across the water. Further along the coast, the past becomes more recent. We visit the Spanish Civil War bunkers, still standing against the shoreline. Then the mood shifts to the present with the modern statues and coastal art scattered along the beach. Finally, we reach the alignment towers, once used by submarines and naval crews to calibrate their exercises at sea.
