Detailed itinerary

1

Stop in Route nº 1:
A short 10-minute walk to reach a magical location where you can breathe real peace. Our local guide will explain a short but fascinating story about this place, while we taste a delicious piece of ensaimada

2

Stop in Route nº 1:
Founded by the great thinker and inventor Ramón Llull, first, it was a monastery and later the Archduke Luís Salvador of Austria summer mansion and his illustrious guests. Discover its Byzantine gardens and interiors full of stories, secrets and legends. To end, a taste of nice salt cookies Quelitas with cheese

3

Stop in Route nº 1:
Discover and learn about the process to produce olive oil and the orange local crop hand in hand with the owners of this small family company

4

Stop in Route nº 2
After travelling through the landscape of the windmills, we will arrive at the village of Algaida, where we will make our first visit to one of the best-preserved windmills. We will not be able to go inside as it is a private property, but we will be able to observe all the details of these beautiful structures that have survived the passage of time and that provided energy and sustenance to the inhabitants of the islands.

5

Stop in Route nº 2:
On our route on the way to Cura, we come across this quiet village of barely 500 inhabitants, where we will make our second stop, to take a walk to the Cruz de Pina, visit its fountain and listen to the history of the ancient washing places, a vestige of the Islamic period that stands out for the hydraulic systems of the archaeological remains of the place.

6

Stop in Route nº 2:
Continuing along our route, we will take a detour to the village of Lloret de Vista Alegre, with a population of 1,400 inhabitants. We will not make a stop in the village but we will be able to cross its plains and listen to the history and traditions of this magical place.

7

Stop in Route nº 2:
Another of the villages that we will pass through with our expert local guides, Montuïri is the perfect example of rural and traditional Mallorca, perched on a hill with endless slopes. On the outskirts of the village, we will make our third stop of the day, this time to recharge our batteries while we enjoy a delicious pa amb oli in one of the most typical places visited by Mallorcans.

8

Stop in Route nº 2:
Our route continues to the village of Randa, which we will cross until we reach our last stop, the majestic Sanctuary of Cura, which rises 550 m above sea level surrounded by nature and from where we have spectacular 360º views of Mallorca, and from where we can, on clear days, see the island of Cabrera.

9

Stop in Route 3:
Our first stop on our route to the cliffs is the Finca de Son Mut, a peculiar place where we will stop to see the largest fig tree experimentation field in the world. There are 1,724 fig trees of more than 830 different varieties from all over the world.

10

Stop in Route nº 3:
Possibly one of the wildest corners of Mallorca and one of the most impressive balconies on the coast. The lighthouse was built in 1862 and is possibly one of the most beautiful of the 14 lighthouses on Mallorca. The lighthouse, which is still in operation and under public management, cannot be visited inside, but we will walk around it to admire this window to the Mediterranean while we take photos and enjoy a freshly baked ensaimada.

11

Stop in Route nº 3:
On our way to the Salinas d'Es Trenc, we come across another unmissable site, the tower of Cala Pi, and the cliff that leads down to the famous beach of Cala Pi, with its turquoise, crystal-clear water.

12

Stop in Route nº 3:
Our last stop will be at the Es Trenc salt marshes, an idyllic spot where we can see the ponds in which the concentration of salt in the water is increased. This is one of those places that serves as an example to prove that it is possible to create ecosystems in which the action of man and wild animals live in harmony.

A representative of the salt-producing company will give us an illustrative talk on how the salt works and the different stages of the process until the salt that reaches our tables is obtained. The visit ends after tasting the delicious Quelitas biscuits with cheese.
