Sant Elm and Dragonera

Sant Elm and the pretty neighbouring village of S'Arracó are a very good base for walkers and hikers holidaying in the Andratx area. A very popular walk from Sant Elm leads to the monastery of Sa Trapa. A walk that takes approximately 3 hours. Setting out from Sant Elm on the Avinguda de la Trapa path one passes through beautiful wooded areas with excellent views of Sa Dragonera.

The most popular reason for visiting Sant Elm, other than it´s fine sandy beach, is the fine views it commands over the island of Dragonera, the sleeping giant off the coast that is said to resemble a prostrate dragon. One can get a boat from Sant Elm in the summer months to investigate Dragonera’s charms in greater detail. Dragonera is about 3 kilometers long and 500 meters long at its widest. The island is uninhabited, apart from the huge confluence of sea birds that flock its high cliffs. There are several walking paths on Dragonera that are a fabulous way to see the island in all its beauty.
