THE SECRETS OF THE TRAMUNTANA
Hiking in group and guide, summer (13-20/07 & 10-17/08)
The secrets of the Tramuntana
The northwest of the largest island in the Spanish, Mallorca, provides a quiet and traditional landscape away from the busy tourist centers in the south of the island.
Emerging abruptly from the Mediterranean Sea, the 400m vertical cliffs that extend to more than 1000m in capricious ridges and large masses of limestone rock, form the spectacular relief of the wild Serra de Tramuntana.
Through medieval paths that pass through the forest, the coast and the mountains, we will find everywhere, vestiges of old traditional jobs in the mountains, already lost in time. We go through the dry stone terraces that treasure ancient olive trees or orange and lemon trees bathed in the sun. We visit beautiful villages, towns and traditional ports in the mountains, as well as remote pebbled coves and crystal clear waters where we can bathe and embark on spectacular voyages.
This is a trip where the comfort and strategic location of accommodation in the picturesque Port of Sóller prevail, along with the best walking routes in the Spanish Mediterranean.
A memorable trip!

We have established the level of difficulty with the number 2,5 out of 5: moderate. The hiking trip through the Secrets of the Tramuntana in summer is spectacular and varied. The excursions that we have selected for this trip are among the most beautiful routes that the mountains hides and are developed through bridle paths (cobbled) or mountain and coastal paths that can be stony, as the limestones predominate in them. We will never get out of the way and there won’t be any technical steps where you have to put your hands to progress.
The hours of walking and the unevenness of ascent and descent on each excursion can help you better understand if this trip is really for you. At the end, the most important thing is to enjoy each of the moments of the trip, but also the excursions. The daily average walking time is about 3.5 hours and about 350m of unevenness up and down, being valid for people who are minimally used to excursions through nature.
The summer season happens to be a good time to walk in Mallorca. The central hours of the day are when temperatures are high and the sun hits the surface with more intensity. Therefore, as a precaution, we are going to start activities early in the morning in the pursue of the most suitable hours for physical exercise, in order to be able to leave the heat of the day for swimming in the sea, lunch and rest.

Coastal route to Deià
Els pintors path
After breakfast we take a private transport to the village of Deià. From this picturesque town we start the circular walk with a very valuable views of the Deià bay until we reach the small village of Llucalcari. At this point we will connect with “Camí d’es Pintors”, a winding path hanging over the sea that leads us to the cosmopolitan Deià cove awarded with its spectacular seabed where we will be able to take a bath. From the cove we enter again inland to climb up to Deià, the artists’ town in the Balearic Islands. Then we return to the hotel using public transport
Ruta costera a Deià
Camí dels pintors
Desde el puerto de Sóller iniciamos la clásica caminata de costa, subiendo a través de las terrazas construidas con la técnica de piedra caliza en seco que atesoran olivos retorcidos por el paso de cientos de años. Caminamos con valiosas vistas a la bahía de Deià hasta llegar a la Mediterráneamente bonita aldea de Llucalcari, en donde enlazamos con el camino de los pintores y siguiendo el sinuoso camino colgado sobre el mar nos conduce a la cala de Deià, que está siempre galardonada con su espectacular fondo marino. Desde la cala nos internamos de subida al grandioso anfiteatro que forma las estribaciones norte de la montaña del Teix, para visitar el bohemio Deià, el pueblo de los artistas por antonomasia de las islas Baleares.

Coastal route along Sóller
S'Illeta path
From the port of Sóller we start the picturesque coastal route, going up through the terraces built with the dry limestone technique that treasure olive trees twisted by the passage of hundreds of years. We visit “Sa Torre Picada”, a sixteenth century tower that constitutes an impressive watchtower, built to defend against pirate attacks. We walk parallel to the coastline to the viewpoint des Joncar, where the gigantic cliffs of Morru de na Mora and Cala Roja can be appreciated. At that point we go down to the sea where we can refresh ourselves in the remote cove of “ses Puntes” dressed in a beautiful pinewood.

Coastal route to Cala Tuent
Sa Costera path
The hiking route that goes from Sóller to Cala Tuent is probably the most beautiful excursion in terms of scenery along the entire Spanish Mediterranean coast. We first walk through the secluded valley of Balitx, once with a strong olive tradition, until we overcome the mythical Biniamar pass (365m). Once past the pass, we enter the domains of the wild bay of sa Costera, dominated by the dramatic buttresses of the northern slope of the Moncaire mountain (839m), a spectacle of nature and Mediterranean landscape, the path becomes a pure delight for all the senses! We cross the bay from one end to the other to reach the next inlet and finish at the fabulous cove of Cala Tuent. We return by bus or boat to the port of Sóller, depending on the season of the year.
