Mallorca is the perfect setting for hiking. The splendid location of the Serra de Tramuntana makes us privileged. Mountain and sea in a unique setting with a huge range of options, routes and levels. Each of them reflects a small essence of history, tradition, flora and fauna of Mallorca. The Serra de Tramuntana is arguably the most attractive area for walking tour. Here is the highest peak of the Balearic Islands, Puig Major (1445 meters). In this range there is a hiking trail, the “Dry Stone” simple level that runs from west to east, from Andratx to Pollença.

As evening falls, a good option is to enjoy the sunset at famous landmarks such as Puerto Portals. El Mirador de sa Foradada, in the heart of the Tramuntana coast, is a classic. From its high vantage point we contemplate a fall of only sun, drawn on an infinite sea. We found more viewpoints in the area of Tramuntana, some little crowded as the popular Torre de ses Ànimes of Banyalbufar and other surrounded by glamor and sophistication as the panoramic arising from the terraces of Port d’Andratx. Formentor, is a must visit offering the best sunset panoramic. Mallorca has a lot of points to enjoy an unforgettable sunset.
