Walking Routes in Mallorca

This route includes an attractive ascent on cobbled paths via the Mont-Reials path and a descent via the Rocafort joined by a stretch of the Castello path. This walk captures some of the best views of the Soller valley.

Having bravely risked my limbs to bring you an account of diving with sharks at Palma Aquarium I was convinced that I was the most extreme person in Mallorca. Red Bull flowed in my veins, fear had been banished into my bedroom wardrobe, and I chortled in the face of death.

Felanitx is located in the south-east of Mallorca.

Capdepera is located in the far north-east of Mallorca. In the village of Capdepera itself, before beginning the hike, you can visit the gloriously restored Castle of Capdepera.

Inca can be reached either by train from Palma or by car. If you go to Inca on a Thursday, you'll be able to enjoy one of Mallorca's biggest and best markets.

Dramatic and stunning Cap de Formentor is an absolute must for any visitor to Mallorca’s north.

The Puig de Maria sits overlooking the town of Pollensa in the north-east of the island of Mallorca.

Puigpunyent is located on the south-west of the island. This walk provides some magnificient scenery without having to leave the road, which goes from Capdellà to Puigpunyent. The route takes in a series of ascents and descents, and cuts across woods and fields, with different views at each curve of the road.

Mallorca offers excellent hiking and walking opportunities, and the months between October and May provide the perfect weather conditions for hikers keen to explore Mallorca’s varied and spectacularly scenic terrain.

On a sunny February Saturday morning, we drove towards Banyalbufar to try the leisurely but beautiful Port des Canonge hike, along a coastal path at the very edge of the majestic Serra de Tramuntana mountain range. The path is called Cami de Sa Volta des General, named after General F. Cotoner who, in the 19th century, was the owner of the Baronia estate, now a hotel in Banyalbufar.

From a distance this mountain looks like an impossible challenge, but the route is well graded with a handful of paths leading to its summit.

Alcudia is located at the top of Mallorca, on the north coast. From Alcudia, take the road going to Mal Pas. Then you can either follow it along the coastline until it reaches the beginning of the road up to the "Hermita La Victoria". Or you can follow an inland trail (signposted 'Fundacion') towards the Yannick & Ben Jokober Foundation and then take the marked trail to the Hermita.

Mallorca is home to a rich and diverse plant and animal life and has long been a location popular with birdwatchers, the north of Mallorca boasts several large wetland areas such as the S’Albufera Nature Park and the slightly smaller Albufereta, both of which areas attract birdwatchers all year round to view their ornithological offerings.

Andratx is located in the south-west of Mallorca. From Andratx, the walk begins in the direction of S'Arracó, three kilometres away. A short rest in this delightful village gives you enough time for a visit to the parish church, where there is a statue of the Virgin "Our Lady of la Trapa".

A beautiful 6km coastal hike from Can Picafort to Son Serra de Marina taking in stunning sea views, archaeological sites, deserted beaches, ecological areas and the occasional nudist.

Campanet is located in the north-west of Mallorca, about 8km north of Inca. In Campanet, the parish church is worth a visit. It was built in 1717, and its outstanding feature is the sculpture on the altar. The church holds the relics of the Martyr San Victoriano, the complete body of the saint dressed as a warrior.

This is a small part of the GR222 walking route which will eventually link Arta and the Llevant Peninsula with Lluc and the world heritage site that is the Serra de Tramuntana mountain range. 

Leaving Soller and hiking through the Serra de Tramuntana valley this trail follows cobbled paths that lead to a unique sequence of cliffs, crags and stone slopes. The area was declared an asset of Cultural Interest in 1984.
