You can get an idea of the itenary below:

Day 1 Tuesday
Puerto Pollensa
We leave Britain and fly direct to Palma, Mallorca’s main town, from where we will transfer to our hotel near to Puerto Pollensa. This is a small coastal town situated on a very picturesque bay in the north-east of the island and well away from the typical brash resorts often associated with Mallorca. Should time allow after checking into the hotel, we will take a short trip to the Albufereta marsh, a small wetland on the Pollensa Bay, to acclimatise ourselves and get to know the typical birds of the Mediterranean region.

Day 2 Wednesday
Puerto Pollensa
After breakfast we take an all-day walk in the Bocquer Valley, a spectacular rocky valley leading to Mallorca’s north coast, and one of the best known birding spots on the island.

Day 3 Thursday
Puerto Pollensa
Today we visit S’Albufera, the third largest marsh in the Mediterranean and a newly designated ‘Natural Parc’. A British company attempted to drain the marsh in the 1860′s; luckily for wildlife this attempt failed but it left behind a legacy of 400 kilometres of channels and canals, plus 50 kilometres of tracks, making this one of the easiest marshes to birdwatch.
