What to do and see in Majorca, Balearic Islands: The Best Mountains

July 18, 2021 Rosalyn Ihle

The dreamy island that provided inspiration to Chopin and Miró now has a reputation as a spring break beach destination. Don't worry, though, if you're vacationing over elementary school spring break-- there's plenty for the younger crowd. Marineland's dolphin and sea lion shows and children's beach attract families. And if you have a Thomas-obsessed toddler, the antique train that travels between Palma and Soller is a must-see.

Majorka was for me very underestimate destination - I thought that this island is only for beach loafers. That was really big mistake! This was our second trip only on foot and I can recommend it to everyone who is not beginner and who has some experiences. We went from Sant Elm to Soller (+- 85 km), track was hard because of bad rainy weather, so it was dangerous - dry stones changed to wet and every step was like going on soap floor. There was no chance how to finished GR221, even bus from Lluc was stopped because of wheater. So we moved to San Picaford (eastern coast) and there we started GR 222, which is no less beautiful and wheater there was better (+- 55 km). People there are pleasant, nature very very beautiful, food excellent, accommodation very various in comfort and also prices, we tried everything from sleeping outside to 4* superb hotel - each way was magnificent. Thumbs up for Majorka :)

Puig de Sant Marti

Reviewed By Kinjo7 - London, United Kingdom

A very clear path to the summit, steep in places but well worth the effort to experience the outstanding views from the top - breathtaking (literally!). A little rain at the summit (refreshing) followed by bright sunshine produced a stunning rainbow that arched over Alcudia, the peninsular ahead and the port below. Downside - loads of mosquitos that seemed to be immune to repellent. (We were told that this was an unually prolific mosquito season.) Tricky to find the start of the trail. Follow signposts to Cova (Cave) de Sant Marti from the Alcudia Resort area, then cross the main bypass road to the signposted start to the trail. Lots of less-familiar birds to spot - we saw a pair of colourful hoopoes.
