Sant Francesc - Ses Escoles - Can Marroig

The route leaves Sant Francesc Xavier along the Porto-salè avenue for Estany des Peix, a small lagoon joined to the sea by a narrow channel. Its water is warmer than the open sea and its little beaches are very shallow, so it suits children and anyone learning water sports. A path follows the shore to Can Marroig, an estate bought at the end of the 19th century by the Mallorcan Antoni Marroig, who brought in new irrigation methods. Today it is an interpretation centre for the protected natural area around it, with pine and juniper shade and picnic facilities.
