Adventourus Active Vacations

8 day Independent OR Escorted tour

Majorca is the largest of Spain's Balearic Islands and has many surprises in store for you as you walk from coast to coast through the Sierra de Tramuntana. During this tour you discover the inner life of Majorca on the deserted paths of the island. In the Sierra de Tramuntana and on the coast, you hike through olive groves to charming villages with manor houses and palaces. Enjoy the view of the sea, small islands and the delightful natural landscape.

After arriving we have a taxi transfer to the first hotel booked for you.

Welcome and orientation meeting this morning, then the start of the first hiking tour. One of the most beautiful walking treks leads between the bay of Pollenca and Alcúdia. We walk along the coast and climb a scenic cliff top to enjoy the panoramic views.

Day 3: Pilgrim path Pollenca - Lluc

Transfer to Pollenca where we follow the historical pilgrim path to Lluc. The high peaks of the Sierra de Tramuntana accompany our walk over the pass passing the Puig Tomir. Shady groves of evergreen oaks, blossoming orchards and meadows line the route. A special highlight waits for us at the monastery Lluc: the botanical garden.

In the morning we transfer to the Cuber reservoir, where we start the next part of the pilgrim path to Lluc. Today we walk up high into the Sierra and cross the passes to Lluc. An unusual landscape with high grass, rocks as found in high mountain regions. Sunny views of the steep coast and lush valleys certainly make this day a highlight of your vacation.

Today we again start at the Cuber reservoir and walk along the beach to the pass L’offres. We follow the serpentine trail up to Es Cornador where we enjoy the best view of the famous terrace-walk down to Soller. Of course we also take this walk down to the idyllic gorge and the gardens of Soller. We then take the old tramway along the coast to Puerto Soller.

A shuttle bus brings us to the artist colony Deia, the jewel on the west coast. In the bay of Deia, today’s walking tour leads along the coast up to the idyllic postal route to Soller. A visit of an old olive-oil press, fresh orange juice and a walk through olive groves round off the day.

We take the famous train from Soller to Palma. Enjoy this journey up to the hillsides of the Tramuntana and through the fertile plains of Palma. After days of mountain solitude the liveliness on the Playa de Palma is a remarkable change of scenery.

Day 8: Departure day or extension of trip

After breakfast your tour comes to an end and you may begin your journey home. We would also be more than happy to extend your stay in Europe.
