Serra de Tramuntana

'Mountains of the north wind', the Serra de Tramuntana is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The mountain range runs from southwest to the northeast region, thus forming the northern backbone of the Spanish Island of Majorca. Around 88km long, this range runs from Andratx to Pollenca, with pine-covered trees and the rocky protrusion of Cap de Formentor and Sa Dragonera and peaks mostly concentrated around the Lluc area highest in the Puig Major and Puig Massanella. As one climbs higher, the forested hills devolve into barren land and peaks. One can get the best view on foot with the smell of rosemary, the sound of the sheep bells, the fresh air, the marvel at pine trees growing through the red rock, and the lovely Majorcan village houses. The drive through these mountains gets exciting from Soller to Lluc through tunnels and ravine making its way between the Puig Major and Puig Massanella. The roads are dangerous, and driving through the parade of the hairpin bends and calls in for total concentration.

The whole journey starts from Palma de Mallorca, and it takes precisely one hour to complete the track.

Sa Calobra

Sa Calobra is a beautiful bay on the northern coast of Majorca.

The easiest way is by boat that goes from Port de Soller, passing many isolated bays along with excellent views of Puig Major. Once there, a short walk through a tunnel leads to the Torrent de Pareis, a spectacular ravine that devolves in a small pebble beach.
