Discover Canyamel
Canyamel occupies a coastal valley in Capdepera, where a stream reaches the sea beside the beach. Sand, wetland and the outline of Cap Vermell create contrasting scenery within a compact area. The nearby Caves of Artà and the valley’s fortified tower add further natural and historical interest.
A story to discover
The Canyamel tower watched over the valley and sheltered its inhabitants against seaborne raids. Its fortified structure recalls a period before the holiday resort developed, when defending the cultivated land was an important part of everyday local life.
