Majorca's Highlights with Charm

This idyllic artists’ village, which is embedded in the Serra de Tramuntana mountains, invites you to go on an exploratory walk. Stroll along the traces of Frédéric Chopin and George Sand through the lively little alleyways with numerous cafes and galleries. You can take a magnificent rest in the garden of the well-known charterhouse.

Looking back at the wonderful Valldemossa silhouettes, you will take an easy walk through the olive gardens before you go along the old coal paths in the Tramuntana mountains. Soon you can expect some breathtaking views from the sparse mountain landscape over the coast towards Palma. On the spectacular Archduke Johann horse track, you will go along mountain paths with magnificent views over towards the next artists’ village, Deia.

Before you set off on your walk to Sóller, you can take a detour to Deia bay where the crystal clear, green-shining water invites you to go for a cool down. Well refreshed, you walk through fruitful gardens down to the old mailing route and into the orange valley, which takes you through pleasantly shady holm oak forests with a fantastic view of the west coast up to Sóller.

Short transfer to the Mirador de ses Barques with a view of Pt. Soller and it's bay.  You will walk unhurriedly through picturesque farmland to a finca where you can refuel with some freshly squeezed orange juice. You will then be rewarded for doing the subsequent ascent to Cami Costera with a beautiful view. One of the island’s loveliest coastal paths takes you along the Cala Tuent shingle beach and then further on towards Sa Calobra where you can hike along the impressive Torrent de Parais. You will then take a boat ride along the coast to Pt. Sóller.

Today you will be walking one of the classic walks in Mallorca. Accompanied by the smell of oranges, you will leave Sóller and then you will soon get to the wonderfully cool Biniaraix canyon. You will then walk up to the Pass de L’Ofre by going along the terraced pilgrimage path looking towards Sóller. From there, you can see the Cuber reservoir and the mighty Puig Major. The descent is on an old shepherd’s path to Orient, which is Mallorca’s orchard.

On a leisurely circular walk, you will discover the Orient valley with its orchards and flocks of sheep. You will walk on lovely panoramic paths as well as on stepped paths with wonderful views of the picturesque scenery and of Castell d’Alaró, which is a place of pilgrimage with the hermitage. Make sure that you try out the local specialities in the Es Verger finca before you then head back to Orient.

Today you walk through densely packed holm oak forests up to the Penyals d’Honor high plateau where you will keep getting wonderful views back to the green Orient valley. On your way to Bunyola, enjoy the view of Palma’s coastline, which you will soon get to by taking the nostalgia train, “Roter Blitz”. At the end of your tour, you will dive into the lively activity in Palma’s capital city.

Departure from Palma or spend extra nights in the city or surrounding region.
