These natural sources, is an extraordinary hydro-geological phenomenon typical for the area of Tramuntana.

The area of ses Font Unfanes is protected as being a nature reserve of special interest.

This nature reserve is used by universities all over Spain, and also in foreign countries, to teach about eco-systems and micro-environments etc.

In times of heavy rain, the sources sprout from the ground and spreads all over the area. It is this phenomenon of self-suffieciency and reproduction abilities in the park that has given it its name “ufanes”, because ufane means something like “exuberance” and “Fonts” means fountains or sources.

Under the surface, there is an aquifer of limestone collecting the water not immediately consumed by the ground. This creates the extraordinary hydro-geological system that makes the area fertile for long periods of times.
