From Ca´s Garriguer
to the harbour of Valldemossa
After one-hour walking distance, from the point where the two
trails split, you will get to the harbour of Valldemossa. Since
there is a height difference of 400 meters, the way back takes about
1 ½ hours.
Indication:
On these kind of mountain trails you should wear appropriate
shoes and also never forget to take water along in summer. |

The monumental compounds of Valldemossa rise between Sierra de Tramuntana and the Mediterranenan, a few kilometres away from the Majorcan Costa Nord. The city's careful layout is filled with steep streets, stone façades, and important religious buildings, among a luxuriant vegetation. The mountains of this area dive into the ocean, to form beaches and coves where it is possible to anchor any vessel. The port of Valldemossa preserves the fishing-town character of yore. Fresh fish and inland produce are wisely combined into succulent recipes that will delight the visitor.
The village of Valldemossa is located a mere 17 Kms. away from Palma, in the middle of the valley of Sierra de Tramuntana, 400 kilometres above sea level. Part of the village goes up into the mountain slope, creating steep streets and beautiful natural miradors. The whole compound is surrounded by lush forests, with olive and almond trees that are irrigated by the abundant springs in the area. |
