We decided to undertake a mammoth walk on the day of visiting Finca Publica Son Real. We reached the museum after marching all the way from Ca'n Picafort but it was truly worth it. The museum is free and offers a brilliant insight into the history of the area, as well as displaying ancient artifacts, tools and equipment. Information boards are multilingual (English included) and there's options for audio description. The walks through the forest are massive, long and quite tiring (bring loads of water and sun cream), but they're definitely worth it and mostly lead you to the waterfront. Some stop off seats are provided along the way, although they're somewhat rare, but otherwise this was a great day and well worth it. Hikers, historians and interested tourists will definitely want to visit. Probably best to not be like us and walk there and back from Ca'n Picafort (it was very demanding); There's a car park outside the museum.

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...

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.

Wonderful public park which was an old finca. Free admission. Parking on site, mostly in a field so take it carefully with your undercarriage! Several wonderful walks to follow and a great place to walk the dogs or go for a cycle ride too. All walks are sort of impacted gravel so easily accessible with bikes, buggies, wheelchairs etc. There are places to picnic and many of the walks take you through to the coastline and beach with great views across Alcudia Bay. Clean toilets and a little shop/office where you can buy an interesting and great value guide book or pick up one of free maps. There's also an interesting little museum. NOTE: There is no cafe but there are a couple of machines for snacks and drinks in the covered are by the toilets and office/shop. Highly recommended for a free outing and brilliant for families.

As of today I have been vacationing in Ca’n Picafort five times already and each time I have been visiting Son Real more than once. This is a magnificent place of utmost natural beauty, serenity and bliss. Being a replica of a typical Mideterranian forest it gives so much energy, light, picturesque views and wonderful scents. You may also encounter some wild animals and beautiful birds. The walking paths are very well maintained and are relatively easy for all ages and fitness levels. The mansion, the farm and the museum are also very interesting and definitely worth visiting. Son Real is really dear to my soul, I will be back here again and again.

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.

Can you go by public transport or organised excursion?

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.
