The forests of Artà

The forest ecosystem of Artà is a living tapestry where the imposing white pines intertwine with the nobility of the holm oaks. Under their shade, the undergrowth flourishes with mastic trees, steppes and olive groves, creating a complex structure that sustains an unparalleled biodiversity in the heart of the Levant Peninsula Natural Park.

This botanical refuge not only regulates the local climate, but also provides essential food—berries, seeds, and insects—for the birds that have made this forest their permanent home or a vital stop on their migratory routes.
