S'Albufera

S'Albufera de Mallorca is a nature preserve on the Balearic island of Mallorca.[1]

Main channel Torrent de San Miguel

The preserve contains the largest and most important wetland of the Balearic islands. The wetland was formed out of an ancient lagoon, separated from the sea by a series of dunes, which most of all due to human influence has been filled by sediments by now. The natural preserve comprises now 1708 hectares.
