Introduction

Cala Pedrosa receives this name by the beach of blocks and gravel that habitat in its interior. These pebbles come from both banks of the cove, which is why the granodiorite, porphyry and lamprophyre are dominated. They have bene accumulated by the waves, and as they have been removed, they have been acquiring a rounded shape.

The elongated granodiorite block, placed at the foot of the stairs, is a menhir that dates from the 4th to 2nd millennium BC. Originally it was in Punta de Sa Conca, but it was recently moved here.

Among the shrubs that populate the cove are the aromatic, leafy leaves that reminiscent the hemp, violet summer flowering and flexible stalks that were used by fishermen for the manufacture of fishing gear.

To the north of the cove we will observe several fractures, faults, which cut the rocks.
