Mallorca: Palma and the Serra De Tramuntana Where the Mountains Meet the Mediterranean Telephone: +44 (0) 1722 322 652 Email: [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). Highest point on route: 900m. Medium: Full route: Average cumulative uphill stretches (CUSs) 635m per day (400m-1000m). Using shortening options: CUSs 572m per day (400m-725m) GPX file available for handheld GPS or smartphone App for complete route (except optional Soller circuits) Important note: Times given for each day are walking times for an “average” walker and exclude stops. “CUSs” stands for “Cumulative Uphill Stretches” and measures the aggregated ascents in each day, expressed in metres of climb. See “Walk Grading” for more information. page 2/9 When to go The best months to walk: March, April, May, October, November Other possible months: January, February, June, September This is a route that can be walked throughout the autumn, winter (except December) and spring, though the summer is too hot. The last two weeks in January and the first two in February are almond blossom time. However, the island is green - because it can rain at any time, particularly in the winter months - so make sure you are properly equipped. The wettest month is October, with heavy showers, often interspersed with sunshine. In low season (November, January and February) it can be difficult to find a full choice of restaurants open (especially in Valldemossa when it's best to be there on Thu, Fri and Sat) but there should be something open in every village every night, though you won't necessarily have a full gastronomic experience. Avoid Easter (we won't be able to get you in). Note: from April to September the route is busy and it is normally not possible to arrange one-night stays in Estellencs and Banyalbufar (nights 2 and 3). Instead walkers normally stay two nights in Banyalbufar and use the local bus to enable all described walking to be done. Please note: date ranges shown are for a 'normal' year. While Covid-19 restrictions remain, please contact us to discuss your plans and availability. Itinerary Day 1 - Arrival day Arrive in Palma and check into your hotel. Stroll around the town, visit the Gothic cathedral and why not try tapas before dinner? Day 2 - Es Capdella to Estellencs After a short taxi transfer to the village of Es Capdella, your first walk begins gently enough as it passes the Finca Galatzo (a historic estate house well worth a visit) and then winds its way up to the head of the Galatxo Valley, for views of the Med. It’s then down to Estellencs for a night in a boutique hotel on the edge of the village. ( Medium: 4¾ hrs, 14km, CUSs 670m) Day 3 - Estellencs to Banyalbufar Explore rural Tramuntana by heading off the GR 221 for a short while to pass the Font de s’Obi and the Planicia estate before finally descending to lovely Penny’s hotel in Banyalbufar. Enjoy the rest of the afternoon exploring the village and tasting Banyalbufar's unique Malvasia wine. (Easy-medium: 3¾ hrs, 10km, CUSs 485m) page 3/9 Day 4 - Banyalbufar to Esporles Note: the GR221 between Esporles and Valldemossa is currently closed, and there is no alternative path, so a transfer is at present necessary between Esporles and Valldemossa. We are working with the Mallorcan authorities to reopen the route. Until then, the time saved walking will give you a chance to relax and explore Banyalbufar and its ancient terraces, and the cultural town of Valldemossa. A steep climb up from Banyalbufar over its ancient terraces is rewarded by a wonderful woodland path, the ‘Cami des Correu’ (The Postman’s Path), all the way to Esporles. En route you’ll pass La Granja museum and restaurant and here we highly recommend a visit. After a short taxi ride to Valldemossa, visit its monastery (N.B. Closed Nov, Dec and Jan and Sundays), home to Chopin and George Sand or just relax on your hotel terrace. ( Easy-medium: 2¾ hrs, 10km, CUSs 485m) Day 5 - Valldemossa to Soller It’s said that rewards come only after some effort and, following a stiff climb out of Valldemossa, there can be no greater prize than the amazing 360 degree views from the Archduke’s trail perched high atop the ridge. It’s then a spectacular descent into Deia, a picturesque village, once home to Robert Graves, and a perfect stop for lunch. ( Medium-hard: 11km, 5¼ hrs, CUSs 690m). You can then bus to the fine old town of Soller, worthy in itself of an afternoon perambulation; or, if you’re hardy try a longish ramble through undulating Mallorcan countryside before joining the ‘Cami de Rocafort’ down to Soller (Full route Hard: 20½km, 8½ hrs, CUSs 1070m). Day 6 - Soller circuit, or rest day A day of choices depending on your energy levels. You could simply spend the day in Soller exploring the town and the port, using the tram that links the two. In addition, you can try one of Jes's suggested short and easy walks around this lovely valley. Really experienced walkers (good weather only) can try the full Fornalutx circuit which, starting up the canyon known as the "Barrancs de Biniaraix", climbs to the Col de l’Ofre, winds its way north across the mountain top and then descends steeply through the Portell de Sa Costa to Soller. A steep and tricky descent in places, over some scree and fallen trees, but worth it for the spectacular views. (6 hrs) Day 7 - Cuber to Alaro Continue on with a short transfer (included) to Cuber lake. From there, it’s an easy walk to the Tossals Verd refuge along mountain trails past Gorg Blau, whilst enjoying some very dramatic views. The walk then takes you through the magnificent Sollerich estate and then gently downhill into Alaro, with its bustling village square, lined with excellent restaurants. (Medium: 5½ hrs, 17km, CUSs 555m) Day 8 - Alaro Circuit A celebratory circuit from Alaro, taking in its castle perched precariously on the cliff edge. The path winds up to the hidden Orient Valley (see gallery), before climbing up to the castle ruins, with spectacular views across the mountain peaks. Don’t miss Es Verger restaurant (Closed Mondays from October to May), famed for its slow roasted lamb cooked to a traditional recipe (and where sheep roam freely!), before a gentle descent back to Alaro for your last night. (Medium-hard: 18km, 5¾hrs, CUSs 700m). Shorter/easier version medium: 15km/4¾hrs/CUSs 600m) page 4/9 Travel Information ARRIVING BY AIR The only airport on Mallorca is Palma. Best intercontinental flights involve a change at Barcelona (daily flights to Palma). Land by: No limitations Return flight earliest: No limitations Flight information can change rapidly and not all flights run daily. Please do check directly with the airlines’ websites or Skyscanner (see below) before finalising any booking with us. Do not book your flights until we have confirmed that we have provisionally reserved accommodation for you. For up-to-date schedules and flights from all airports check Skyscanner. See “Getting to the start of the walk” below for transfer information. ARRIVING BY TRAIN For a shorter holiday option, consider starting or ending at Soller (train conection with Palma). Getting to the start of the walk Getting to the start of the walk: The first hotel is in the capital Palma, and the last in the village of Alaro. PALMA AIRPORT: Outward: shuttle bus 20 minutes, or taxi from rank direct to hotel. Pay locally. Return: taxi from Alaro to airport (40 mins) included in holiday price. Full transfer advice, is provided in your Walkers’ Pack. Contact us if you would like additional pre-booking information. page 5/9 Where You'll Stay This route is a little upmarket in terms of accommodation, all hotels being “boutique” in the best sense of the word, from the Hotel San Lorenzo in Palma, through two little gems in Estellencs and Banyalbufar (try the paella at the latter) and to Es Petit at Valldemossa (spectacular views).

  • Tourist Accommodation Diffusion in the Balearics, 1936-2010
    Island Studies Journal , Vol. 9, No. 2, 2014, pp. 239-258 Tourism capitalism and island urbanization: tourist accommodation diffusion in the Balearics, 1936-2010. Antoni Pons Universitat de les Illes Balears, Spain [email protected] Onofre Rullán Salamanca Universitat de les Illes Balears, Spain [email protected] & Ivan Murray Universitat de les Illes Balears, Spain [email protected] ABSTRACT: The Balearic Islands are one of the main tourism regions in Europe, and tourism has been the structural capitalist activity of urban growth there since the 1950s. Mapping tourist accommodation in the Balearics might help spatially explain the important socio-spatial transformation of a small archipelago in the Western Mediterranean. This paper analyses the diffusion of tourist accommodations as the main vehicle for urbanization since the 1950s. The tourism production of space has gone in parallel to economic cycles with particular urban expressions related to the different regimes of accumulation. Over time, as access to sea, air, and road transport, availability of investment capital, and institutional support has changed, so too have the directions of urban tourism development in the islands. Keywords : Balearic Islands, diffusion, economic cycles, Spain, tourism, tourist accommodation maps, urbanization © 2014 - Institute of Island Studies, University of Prince Edward Island, Canada. Introduction Urbanization occurs differently on different kinds of islands. Islands specializing in tourism services may feature distinctive urbanization patterns due to the dynamics of this particular industry, which involves a coincidence between spaces of production and consumption. The spatial factors affecting islands play a variety of roles here, both increasing the amount of coastline (which has proven so attractive to mass tourism) and conditioning the means of transport and access to tourism sites.

  • A Commented Check-List of the Balearic Branchiopoda (Crustacea)
    A COMMENTED CHECK-LIST OF THE BALEARIC BRANCHIOPODA (CRUSTACEA) J. LI. Pretus Departament d'Ecologia, Facultat de Biologia, Universitat de Barcelona. Diagonal 645, 08028 Barcelona. Spain.

Chorologic grouping hows an important stock of species associated with semiarid regions of continental inland basins, both from fresh and atalassohaline waters. Their biogeographic significance and age is discussed in relation to the neotectonics of the islands and the possible existence of barren conditions in part of the insular landscape in the past.

Eocene-Oligocene sediments are virtually absent in Minorca but crop out extensively in Majorca, ii) Contractional structures in Minorca differ in direction (aligned SW-NE in Majorca and Ibiza and N-S in Minorca) and in age from those in Majorca and Ibiza. In addition, Paleozoic deposits of Minorca do not correlate with those of Sardinia, where in addition the Triassic sediments are not very abundant. Contractional deformation in Sardinia is in part older (late Eocene-early Miocene) than in Minorca (early Miocene?). Given its Neogene clockwise rotation, Minorca cannot be considered a small block dragged by the early Miocene counter clockwise rotation of the Corsica-Sardinia block. Furthermore, the Paleozoic and Mesozoic stratigraphy of Minorca (siliciclastic late Paleozoic rocks, Triassic Germanic facies and Jurassic carbonates) has affinities with that of the southern part of the Catalan Coastal Ranges.

The capital of the island, Palma, is also the capital of the autonomous community of the Balearic Islands. The Balearic Islands have been an autonomous region of Spain since 1983. Little is recorded of the earliest inhabitants of the island. Burial chambers and traces of habitation from the Neolithic period (6000–4000 BC) have been discovered, particularly the prehistoric settlements called talaiots, or talayots. From 707, the island was increasingly attacked by Muslim raiders from North Africa.

  • Surrounded by Unspoilt Mallorcan Countryside, Business Becomes Pleasure BUSINESS
    BUSINESS Surrounded by unspoilt Mallorcan countryside, business becomes pleasure BUSINESS MALLORCA Mallorca’s central location in the Mediterranean means the island is blessed with a pleasant climate with more than 2,700 hours of sunshine a year. While temperatures average around 26°C between May and September, they rarely drop beneath 13°C in early spring.
