The
true lovers of the island prefer to travel over it on foot as
the island means much more than beaches and luxury hotels.
On
the West coast of the island, we find the Serra de Tramuntana,
where the union between rough nature and calcareous geology results in
a fascinating landscape. We will see the ochre colours of a
thousand-year-old land that blends with the blue of the
Mediterranean, which used to be a meeting point for pirates. First
the train of Sóller built in 1912, that has been preserved so
that the visitor has the feeling that time does not matter. After
that, cobbled paths full of history will take us from the sea, to the combe
of L’Infern that goes through the cliffs of Puig Major,
the highest peak in Majorca.
The
Majorcan people have a warm, kind character, and welcome
the visitor with a hospitality that only the islanders can
offer.
