MALLORCA TODAY - La Gola visitors' centre closed

The visitors' centre in the La Gola wetland area of Puerto Pollensa did not open as it should have done on 1 April and its continuing closure as well as any obvious move to tender for its management has caused the Alternativa Party in Pollensa to suggest that it might not open at all this year. In 2011, the centre received nearly 6000 visitors, half of them British, and the Alternativa says that it has done good work since its opening in 2010 in giving information about birds, including the 70 species to be found in the La Gola area.
