Description
Almost half the area of La Gola is covered by water. The largest water surface is to be found in the central zone of La Gola, where the width is greater and the water has a higher concentration of salt due to the direct connexion to the sea. The Síller torrent and the Gommar torrent supply the fresh water found at La Gola. Areas of Salicornia vegetation surround the lagoon, where the water level depends on the sea. La Gola natural park is a small wetland centrally located in Puerto Pollenca town, small though it is, it’s a lush and beautiful spot to see and to walk around and it is an area of ecological and ornithological importance being home to over 60 species of birds including Gråand, Fiskehejre, Silkehejre, Dværgørn, Tårnfalk, Rørhøne, Hvidklire, Mudderklire, Dobbeltbekkasin, Hættemåge, Isfugl, Bysvale, Engpiber, Husrødstjert and Lille Korsnæb.

A walk around the whole of La Gola will take you no more than 30 minutes as this small trail is only 1km long but there is no need to rush through the area, there are benches and look out points stationed along the trail which make for great spots to sit and to watch the birds. If it's information you’re after then head to the Ornithological centre inside the park for displays and information about which birds you can expect to see in North Mallorca and keep an eye out for the information boards dotted around the park with pictures and information about the birds you are likely to see. This park is home to a plethora of ducks and sea gulls but you may also see Fiskeørn, Hærfugl, Herons and Lille Korsnæb.
On the beaches opposite of La Gola you can often see Audouinsmåge.
