WHY GO? Mountains, sea and wonderful bliss moments combined with a particularly beautiful, Mediterranean natural backdrop – hiking on Mallorca has a special magic. On our hiking trip along the GR221 hiking trail, you will hike across the sunny Balearic island from Estellencs in the southwest to Port Soller in the North West. Views onto/from the coast you cannot get enough of, the alpine-like Tramuntana mountains, the citrus fruit in the idyllic Sóller-valley & lots more. Coastal villages such as Deià and Valldemossa are also located en route as well as monasteries, extensive country estates, fincas and renowned coastal towns. Fragrant macchia, evergreen and holly oak forests providing shade, inquisitive sheep and mountain goats accompany you along with a lovely sea breeze and the scent of the many lemon and orange groves on this route of dry stone walls. WHAT ARE SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS? GR221 Trail (Dry Stone Route): This famous walk runs from south-west all the way to the north-west of Mallorca, following ancient cobbled paths through the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Serra de Tramuntana mountain range. On this trail you hike the mountain range parallel to the coast of Mallorca and the trail alternates with sections through forests and barren rocks. Explore Sóller: Soller and its port, Puerto de Soller, is the heart of the "Golden Valley" - a fertile stretch of land in the Serra de Tramuntana whose inhabitants have cultivated olives since ancient times and became wealthy in the 18th century cultivating citrus fruits. In 2011 Soller was granted UNESCO World Heritage status. Explore Port de Sóller: The remote picturesque, small coastal village in north west Mallorca has become well known and popular particularly due to its historic tram, large bay with protected harbour and scenic surroundings. Historic Tramway (Tranvía de Sóller) from Port de Soller to Sóller: A major attraction on Mallorca's west coast is the famous historic tram which connects the small town of Sóller with the Port de Sóller district on the Mediterranean coast. It is colloquially referred to as "red lightning". Historic Train from Soller to Palma: Tren de Sóller is a historic railway line that opened in 1912, which connects the island's capital, Palma de Mallorca with the small town of Sóller in the Serra de Tramuntana. A ride on the historic Tren de Sóller railway with its vintage carriages still in use, provides a fantastic opportunity to enjoy a variety of views of the fascinating mountains of the Serra de Tramuntana. Watch the video providing more details on this train journey and you'll get an idea of all that awaits you in an unforgettable experience. Discovering picturesque towns & villages on the hiking trail: Explore the towns of Estellencs, an oasis of peace, tranquillity and tradition, Banyalbafur nestled between four smaller mountains, with farmhouses and wineries scattered around the historic town centre, Fornalutx nestled high up the Tramuntana mountain range overlooking Sóller that is Often referred to as the ‘Prettiest village in Spain’, the stone buildings and red tiled roofs combine with the scent of the surrounding orange and lemon groves to provide a traditional rustic charm. Explore Palma de Mallorca: The so-called " Pearl of the Mediterranean" is now more beautiful than ever and the Mediterranean flair, which attracts thousands of tourists every year, can be felt in every corner. Some of the top attractions include La Seu - the local name for Palma Cathedral - and the 14th-century Bellver Castle. Drach Caves: Located in the town of Porto Cristo (east coast of Mallorca), these stunning caves extend for almost 1,200 metres in length (one of the largest in Europe), reaching a maximum depth of 25 metres below ground level.
