Parc natural de s’Abulfera de Mallorca

This’park is located in between cities and it’s not necessarily easy to park, the dedicated parking is 150 meters away from the «main» entrance and only a few cars will fit there (if you are outside of holidays period you may find yourself competing with a school bus, which takes a lot of room!). You may be better off directly coming with a bike or on foot if you live in a nearby town.
When you enter the park you will follow a waterway and will eventually arrive to the registration office which will deliver you a permit to wander in park, which is free but requires you to book in advance if you are a group. As often in Mallorca, these guides can be provided in spanish, german, or english. If you stay in this area, there are some small houses with explanation on the history of the park and on its ecosystem, making it particularly interesting for families/​schools.
There you can go along one of the four paths which cover the wetlands of the park, the red (long) seemed very long and goes all around the park but was unfortunately closed, so we took the three other ones which do not even last as long but do give you an idea of what is in the park. There are sheds/​viewing points along the way and/​or in shallow waters where you will have to walk on wooden paths, there you can mostly see ducks but with some luck there will be other types of birds. There are also water buffalos around but they stay rather far from the paths. A great park for a walk and/​or bird sighting.
