[email protected] Mallorca: Palma and the Serra de Tramuntana Where the mountains meet the Mediterranean https://www.onfootholidays.co.uk/routes/mallorca-palma-and-the-serra-de-tramuntana/ Route Summary At a glance 8 nights (7 days walking) - the full route. Add extra nights in any hotel. How much walking? Full days: 7½-23km per day, 2¾ - 8½ hrs walking Using shortening options: 7½-16km per day, 2¾-5¾ hrs Max. Grade: page 1/9 This stunning walk shows to perfection two unspoilt faces of the island of Mallorca. Spend an evening in the relaxed and historic capital – Palma – and explore its labyrinthine streets, palace courtyards, art museums and elaborate cathedral before heading for the hills – the Serra de Tramuntana mountains. These limestone mountains form a dramatic landscape of peaks and deep valleys, largely undiscovered except by walkers. The fauna and flora are undisturbed and early spring (late January/early February) walkers can have the added bonus of almond blossom time. Route Highlights ● Sophisticated Palma and its gothic cathedral ● Winter blossoming orchards and orchids ● The Postman’s Path and the quirky La Granja museum ● The Archduke’s Path to Deia ● The alleys and restaurants of Soller ● Alaro Castle ruins and Es Verger restaurant for your finale ● Mallorcan warmth and hospitality ● Birdwatching during spring and autumn migration We Recommend Why not spend an extra night in Soller and hire a bike from Tramuntana Tours. Explore the Soller valley and its byways, ride down to Port Soller for a swim. Grading Full days: 7½-23km per day, 2¾ - 8½ hrs walking Using shortening options: 7½-16km per day, 2¾-5¾ hrs Well-marked paths and good signage; Valldemossa to Soller hard, scrambling, vertiginous for some (both avoidable).
