This guidebook presents 50 half-day and day walks in Mallorca's Serra
de Tramuntana, the striking limestone range that stretches along the
northwestern flank of the island. Whilst the region promises
breathtaking scenery and some fantastic walks, there is also some
potentially challenging terrain, making guidance when choosing,
planning and walking the routes all the more valuable. As many involve
steep ground, navigational challenge and hands-on scrambling, these
routes are primarily geared towards those with some experience of
mountain walking. Comprehensive route description is illustrated with
1:25,000 Alpina mapping and each walk includes a statistics box to aid
route selection. Useful contacts are listed in the appendix. There is
also background information on history, plants and wildlife, plus
language notes in native Catalan and Castilian Spanish. The routes
are spread across the Serra de Tramuntana, with characterful towns and
villages such as Sóller, Deià, Fornalutx, Valldemossa and Pollença
serving as potential bases for a walking holiday. Ranging from 5.5km
to 24km, the carefully selected routes showcase the region's rugged
limestone peaks, mountain and coastal vistas and rich mountain
heritage manifested in numerous drystone constructions,
charcoal-burning sites and irrigation systems. Highlights include the
lush island of sa Dragonera and the dramatic gorge of Torrent de
Pareis. The majority of walks are accessible by public transport and
many can be linked, opening up further possibilities for exploration.
