Escorca - Monastery of Lluc

Escorca is located deep in the Tramuntana mountains. From Inca there is a regular bus line to Lluc, but if you really want to enjoy the scenery, it is advisable to get off at Caimari and then continue on foot to the monastery. The walk takes about three hours, but is really worth it.

From the ridges below the peak of Massanella, passing El Barracar and the Salt de la bella Dona, you will arrive at the church that houses the moreneta or black Virgin. After seeing the monastery we recommend following the path of the Via Crucis or 'stations of the cross', which goes around a promontory located behind the Monastery. From here there is a magnificent view of the valley of Aubarca and the farm of Escorca. You can then return to Inca by bus.
