Description
The landscape and the journey
Paddy Dillon explores Mallorca’s limestone peaks, terraces, old stone paths and villages beyond the coast. Use different bases to combine familiar places with longer days in the Serra de Tramuntana.
Routes and itinerary options
Fifty routes cover approximately 4–24 kilometres and two to eight hours across seven areas, from Andratx to Formentor and Alcúdia. Sa Dragonera, Camí de s’Arxiduc, Puig de Massanella and Torrent de Pareis feature, with bases including Valldemossa, Deià, Sóller and Pollença.
Maps and practical planning
1:25,000 Editorial Alpina maps and Cicerone GPX files accompany descriptions and practical information. Public transport advice helps identify walks possible without a hire car. Use the route information to compare stages, plan your stops and check practical arrangements before departure.
Choosing the right trip
Many routes are steep and rocky; some involve scrambling and navigation. Spring and autumn are attractive, summer can be extremely hot, and the highest peaks can receive winter snow. Choose an itinerary that fits your experience and available time, allowing flexibility for weather and local conditions.
