Pollença natural surroundings
Pollença has a privileged geographic location for nature lovers; hikers will find a great number of choises through its landscapes.
The area has rich botanic native species that are manifested through different vegetal communities that go from the holm- oak to the most extense areas of wild olive trees, bush, rockroses and palm trees called "garbelló" (the only type of Eurpean palm tree), and there is even an endemic plant, the Naufraga Baleárica that grows in an area near the Cala Sant Vicenç mountain range. The onithologists will also be able to enjoy the "fisher eagle", which is found in the Albufereta, -natural reserve of 295 hectares through which the "Font de Mal Any" and "El Rec" torrents go- and other species loke the black vulture (known as"voltor") and the hawk.
