Finca Son Real is a real gem hidden away on the road between Can Picafort and Arta, a short drive or a €15 taxi from Playa de Muro drops you at an old farm with tracks that lead down to the beach.
Path 4 is the best for birders, the area is great for red legged partridge, hoopoe and woodchat shrike. There is a small green sign with binoculars down the pathway that leads to a freshwater pond overlooked by a hide, this is great for Crossbill, Serin, Nightingale, Wryneck, Turtle Dove and a host of other birds that make use of the fresh water for bathing and drinking.
A few hours of peace and you are almost guaranteed something good to see.
Further down the number 4 track is an area of woodland excellent for Firecrest and further down still is scrubland which contains an abundance of Chat, Balearic Warbler and Lark.
If Butterflies or Dragonflies are more your target then follow path 1 all the way down to the building at the bottom of the path, then look right to the hidden track heading up the fence line, this leads all the way back up through an area full of 2 Tailed Pasha butterflies and their caterpillars on the Tree Strawberry plants, at the top is a small pond full of dragonflies. Lots of Preying Mantis up this path too.
Any of the 4 paths will find Woodchat Shrike and the beach is a mass of seashore plants covered with butterflies, moths and bees. Audouin's Gull frequent the beach along with Kentish Plover and Turnstones.
Lastly keep an eye out for small Tortoise, the Herman's Tortoise frequent the area and are often seen inching along for a bite to eat, they are small and well worth looking for.
Yes its a nice place for a walk but it offers so much more for the wildlifers...

Just don’t get the point of this place . So little information or guidance available . Seems to be an access route to the beach about an hours walk away. The finca is closed

I visited Son Real in October. There were autumn ladies tresses, autumn crocuses and other flowers. The views were good and the Necropolis at the end of a 2 mile walk was worth a look - 2700 year old ruins by the sea. I also saw Thekla Lark and a Two-tailed pasha butterfly here. You can get a map at the centre and the paths are well signed. If the weather is hot bring plenty of water.

Beautiful area of woodland and beach scrub. It is an hour's walk from Can Picafort. There are also public toilets at the visitor centre. There are also some ancient ruins along the beach with information signs.
Great area for Birdwatching. If you follow track 4, then look out for a sign with binoculars, there is a small hide which overlooks a freshwater pool where birds visit to drink.
Waiting quietly here for an hour saw Turtle Dove, Crossbill, Serin, Goldfinch, Greenfinch, Linnet, Cetti's Warbler, Nightingale, Blackbird, Also at the scrub area near the beach, saw Thekla's Lark, Woodchat Shrike, Tawny Pipit, Stonechat, Sardinian Warbler, Audouin's Gull, Peregrine Falcon, Hoopoe, Cormorant.

Cycled here from the main road (Ma-12), so it was a godsend that the building at the entrance of the walking/cycle paths had an ice cold water vending machine. There's a few sheep and pigs near the entrance, and the paths are generally good quality although a little sandy at points. Down by the beach there is the necropolis, which is an ancient burial site. Also a cave further down and other points of interest. Not a spot of litter or graffiti about which was highly impressive for an unguarded historical area.

Stroll along the beach from Son Baulo and you will discover the wonders of Finca Publica Son Real. We picked up a map from the local Tourist Information office and followed the clearly marked paths. This estate is a real treasure. Son Real is the area with the highest concentration of prehistoric funerary sites on Majorca, has sand dunes, Spanish juniper and pine groves, sighting towers, walking and cycling routes, an 8 bed refugee and up near the main Can Picafort to Arta road an old farmhouse, which is still operational, an interpretation centre and an archaeological museum. An area to visit and visit again.

We parked here to walk down to the necropolis and beach. The car park has space for maybe 30 cars but there is a definite lack of signs. The beach paths are all well signposted and the different routes well marked but the Finca itself seems a bit of an after thought.
After spending a while at the necropolis we headed back and the sight of the visitor centre was most welcome. We had a wash and then a water before going to look at the museum. This is very poorly signposted to actually notice it but was really very good. It has obviously had a lot of money spent on it and showed both Bronze Age life for the original inhabitants (that built the necropolis) and then a large section on 19th/20th century rural life in Mallorca.
The visitor centre actually has a couple of staff but I'm not sure what they do. The drinks machines are all automated, obviously and very good value. Decent and clean toilets too. I feel that with more promotion a lot more could be made of this site.

I have only visited once but the area is beautiful. Lots of lush trees and greenery. The walks are peaceful and we even saw a tortoise crossing the path during our visit. Will definitely be back in winter for a walk.

We rented a car for two days, and this Was the first stop. There are 5 different walks of different lenght. We took number 4 which Was the next longest. Very Nice Nature, and love to see the ocean turn up in the distance. I believe There is a walk that suites everybody.

Can you go by public transport or organised excursion?
Written July 26, 2018
You can go there by public bus from Can Picafort to Son Serra de Marina. But the bus schedule is not particularly convenient. My take is that you better walk there from Son Baulo beach or take a taxi. I don’t think there are any organized excursions there. The place is very tranquil and rustic, organized tourism is definitely not relevant here.
