S’Albufera Nature Park

S’Albufera Nature Park is the most important wetland of the Balearic Islands and it is protected by two very important international conservation programmes. In 1987 S’Albufera was declared Special Protection Area and Wetlands of International Importance under the Ramsar Convention. You can start either in Alcúdia or from any point of Port d’Alcúdia. If you begin in Alcúdia take the road to Artà starting by the church and passing by the sports hall. Follow the road for 4 kilometres until you reach Pont dels Anglesos (bridge). The entrance to the park is located on the bridge to the right.
Visits to the park are free. Please register yourself at the visitor centre. The centre is located 1 kilometre inside the park. You can reach the centre by car. Here you can get information on the wetlands, interesting elements and visitor regulations. Animals are not allowed inside the park.
