great view from the Dragon Island to Sant Elm

great view of the pirate tower

it is worth scrambling up the passage in the tower

Parking on the road is fine. In this direction, the climb into the crevice is easier.

Worth seeing. The island really does sit like a dragon in the water.

The island got its name Sa Dragonera from its shape, which is reminiscent of a dragon resting in the sea. And that's not far-fetched, as the island's origins are told as follows: Like all lizards, dragons prefer warmer climes for laying their eggs and found Mallorca an ideal place for this. A particularly brave dragon stayed behind to guard the eggs, from which young dragons later hatched. This dragon eventually turned to stone and now forms the island's silhouette. Piracy played a major role on Mallorca throughout history. Initially active, later defensive. Sa Dragonera repeatedly served as a hideout for privateers. This led to stories of hidden treasures that are said to still be hidden on the island. Another special feature is the lizard that lives here, which is only found in this form on Dragonera. It is said to have once existed on the main island as well, but was wiped out by introduced animals such as cats and snakes. They differ not only genetically, but also in their food choices and behavior. Since they have no natural enemies here, they lack the instinct to flee and are not afraid of humans. Nevertheless, they should not be fed, as human food is not suitable for animals and can cause disease.

Until 1850, there was a watchtower on the highest point of the island, the Talaia de na Guinavera. This was completely demolished to make way for a lighthouse, which was completed in 1852. This is surprising, since at the time of the watchtower, people apparently didn't realize that it was often shrouded in thick fog. Who was on watch? Gradually, the realization dawned that a lighthouse in the fog wasn't helpful, and in 1910, two new towers were built at Cap de Tramuntana and Cap de Llebeig. That's why the path here is also called Camí del Far Vell, Path of the Old Lighthouse.
