This is a challenging yet rewarding walk with 2 steep ascents (1 very steep!) and 2 steep descents before we arrive at our destination in Valldemossa. Much of this route, which forms part of the GR221, is in holm oak woods with lots of evidence of the various rural mountain industries that dominated these mountains in days gone by. We also get plenty of spectacular sea views from a series of natural look-out points along the way. This is not one of the most popular stages of the GR221 and in our view it is rather under-rated.

Our walk starts gently uphill along wide tracks through lovely gentle rural countryside. We then begin to climb more steeply through holm oak woods up to the Coll de Sa Basseta passing several sitjes, an old bread oven, and various other relics of charcol and lime burning activities.

There are a couple of tricky parts to this walk – one includes our very steep and rocky first descent, which is followed immediately by a very steep rocky ascent up Sa Comuna before we finally descend into the pretty village of Valldemossa. But it is a worthwhile walk and largely deserted…

Highlights

The surprising sights over Port de Valldemossa, Urb. George Sand and the whole Valldemossa valley.
