Es Vedranell is a small island east of Es Vedrà, within the nature reserve that also includes Es Illots de Ponent. Its jagged outline resembles a reclining dragon, earning it the nickname “sleeping dragon.” The island is known for Los Cañones, narrow canyons with high walls, and for diving and snorkeling in the surrounding protected marine area. A boat trip gives you views of its distinctive shape from the water; divers can explore sites in the reserve with a center based at Cala Tarida.
