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 Soller, Deia, Fornalutx, Valldemossa and Pollenca 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.
