Illa de Cabrera
-
Cabrera (“Goat Island”) lies 18 km (11 miles) off the mainland. A rocky, bare place and virtually uninhabited, it nevertheless has a rich history. It served as a prison camp during the Napoleonic War and was used as a base by Barbary pirates. It was designated a national park in 1991. Boat trips leave from Colònia de Sant Jordi and take a day – highlights include a 14th-century castle on the island (see Castell de Cabrera) and Cova Blava (Blue Grotto). Keep an eye out for the rare Lilford’s lizard, identifiable by its dog-like face.
