HIKING IN MAJORCA 

THE UNKNOWN SIDE OF THE ISLAND  -   Spain 

‘Mallorca’ is an island that boasts a wide array of incredible landscapes. This translates into itineraries in the mountains, along the coastline and across the plains. Impressive views between several peaks measuring over 1000 m high and the wild cliffs of its rocky coast full of gorgeous coves.

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.

The Majorcan people have a warm, kind character, and welcome the visitor with a hospitality that only the islanders can offer.
