Walking in Mallorca: Sierra de la Tramontana

After a short transfer from Palma de Mallorca Airport to Esporles, you can enjoy the beauty of the Mediterranean in this village that preserves its character as an industrial town.

Walk from one end to the other along its ancient royal paths that border Mola de Planicia and Moleto de sa Granja. Don't forget to enjoy sobrasada, a pork and paprika sausage to spread on bread; camaiot, another sausage made from lean pork and blood; or a slice of Mallorcan black pork loin.

Start the ascent at Carrer Nou de Sant Pere and follow the typical GR 221 route signs. Reach the top of Son Cabaspre and turn off towards Coll de Sa Basseta. 

Take the path that leads to the Pla de l'Aljub, an old area used by lumberjacks, hunters, shepherds and mountain people, and then descend to the Coll de Sant Jordi to a gate that leads to the Comuna de Valldemossa.

Visit Font de na Llambies, the oratory dedicated to Saint Catherine Thomas and the Molí de Sa Beata, a flour windmill dating from 1761. Walk through the flower and plant-lined streets of Valldemossa and visit the Real Cartuja Gardens, a museum house in which the composer Chopin stayed for a short time.

Take the path up to the cliffs and enter the forest of countless paths. Follow the overgrown path to Deia (or Deya), from the Arabic Ad Daia, which is anchored on the hill and was an important point of Muslim control. 

Ascend to the cemetery, the highest point, known as the one with the best views in the world. Walk through the streets of this village that became a place of pilgrimage for artists, painters, writers, poets and bohemians who were captivated by the beauty of the Sierra de Tramontana.

Visit the Archaeological Museum, the Parish Museum, the Robert Graves House Museum, the Son Marroig Museum, or the museum dedicated to the painter Norman Yanikun, or take a walk to Sa Foradada, a small peninsula.

Overnight in Deia

Start the day on one of the most beautiful stretches along the route: beside the sea and with marvellous views. Ascend and then descend again to take a detour to Cala Deia, a small cove with a beach just 70 metres long.

You will arrive at the La Muleta refuge and its marvellous surroundings with fascinating views. Nearby, visit the Cap Gros, a lighthouse in the northwest of the island and continue to the promenade in the Port of Soller.

Soller is located in the middle of a 'valley of oranges', known as the 'valley of gold'. Admire the Mediterranean nature of the mountain range in this village, with its birds, fruit trees, oaks and pines.

Explore the mountain-tinged landscape and crystal-clear waters of the Cuber Reservoir, after a short transfer that will save you the strenuous climb. Also visit the Gorg Blau Reservoir, which, together with the Cuber Reservoir, collects rainwater from the mountains and channels it to supply Palma. 

Come and explore some of the highest mountains in the Tramontana range: L'Ofre and Colom and the impressive ravines, such as Biniaraix. You can also visit the villages of Biniaraix and Fornalutx, known as 'the most beautiful village in Spain'.

Before returning to Soller, take a detour and visit Sa Calobra Cove, the setting for the film "Cloud Atlas", starring Tom Hank and Halle Berry.

After a short transfer to Cuber, the route begins surrounded by great peaks, such as the island's giant, Puig Major. You will continue ascending and descending through the mountains until it reaches the valley along the Voltes d'en Galileu path. 

Continue on to the outskirts of Lluc and walk to the Santa Maria de Lluc Sanctuary, the most famous monastery in Mallorca where the Virgin of Lluc (or La Morenita), patron saint of Mallorca, resides and a true place of pilgrimage: every year, in the Walk to Guell, more than 10,000 people walk the 50 km between Palma and the sanctuary in a single night.

Overnight in Lluc

Admire the spectacular views of some of the islands' most emblematic mountains, such as Puig de Massanella, Puig Tomir, Puig d'en Galileu and Puig Roig.

Dare yourself to explore some of the caves and torrents, such as Torrent de Pareis and Torrent de Mortitx. Continue the route through the forest and visit the Son Amer refuge at the top of the hill. Head to Coll Pelat and from there to Coll des Pedregaret, to descend to the Binifaldo public estate. 

Head north along the Cami Vell (Old Path) to Lluc and descend to Pollensa, a village with Moorish and Roman traditions. Walk through the Port of Pollensa with its wide beaches or venture into San Vicente Cove, which is home to a group of other coves with crystal clear waters located at the foot of Cavall Bernat.
