In July, a turtle's nest with 82 eggs was discovered on the beach in Cala Millor. Some were removed to aid development and the rest were left on the beach waiting for them to hatch, guarded at all times by volunteers. On Tuesday, nineteen of the young turtles, each weighing about 70 grams (five times more than when they were born), were released into the sea.

Finally a good news item about Mallorca that I never thought I would see . Well done the volunteers. Paul I am sure there is a third world country desperate for tourist money that would let you sit on the beach amongst nesting turtles.
I hope that most of the Turtles will survive and develop.
Cala Millor beach is now non existent for tourists down the second half of the beach towards the castle. It is now quiet as no body goes to sunbathe there anymore. this is good for the wildlife but very poor for hjoliday makers. We would not go there anymore as the bit of beach that is left is so crowded.
