Migjorn
Migjorn is a landscape zone ( Catalan : Comarca ) on the Spanish Balearic island of Mallorca . It is basically the southern continuation of the Plà de Mallorca plain . Despite the rather flat character of the region, the southernmost landscape of Mallorca has an elevation over 500 meters above sea level. The Santuari de Sant Salvador monastery is located on the 509 meter high Puig Sant Salvador in the municipality of Felanitx . The mountain is the highest point in the southern area of the Serres de Llevant .
With the city of Campos , Migjorn has a center with a more rural character. Agriculture still plays a major role here today. The caper bushes cultivated around the place are a specialty. The place Colonia de Sant Jordi , the former port of Campos , offers a contrast . In addition to the six-kilometer-long Es Trenc beach , a tourist center with over 3,000 beds was built here. Ruins of buildings on the northern part of Es Trenc in the Ses Covetes settlement testify to the fight against illegal building. A court ordered the demolition of the half-finished houses that were built here next to the beach without a permit.
The Migjorn coastline stretches from S'Arenal in the west, which belongs to the municipality of Llucmajor , to Portocolom in the municipality of Felanitx. Every municipality in the region with 75,899 inhabitants (as of 2007) has a share of the coast. On this flat rocky sections alternate with sandy bays. Some sections of the coast, especially at the southern cape, the Cap de ses Salines , are difficult to reach. Private landowners have blocked the passage by vehicles here, also for nature conservation reasons.
Adjacent island regions are Llevant in the northeast , Plà de Mallorca in the north and the island capital Palma in the northwest .
