Trekking, Mallorca Island

The Serra de Tramuntana mountain range forms the backbone of the north-west of Mallorca and is where the walks take place. The area has been declared a World Heritage Site but UNESCO under the Culutural Landscape category.

The terraces that march up from the coast date back at least to the Moorish occupation, and walkers love the high, rugged interior for its pine forests, olive groves and wild flowers.

There are six walks to choose from varying from 5.5km to 11.5km, some of which are suitable for children from the age of 7.
