Walking from Port de Soller, Majorca

If you are looking at this one week holiday why not make your stay two weeks by joining us on San Telmo & Soller.

The mild, dry climate of Majorca makes the island ideal for walking during much of the year. The north-west coast, one of the most dramatic in the western Mediterranean, runs parallel to a range of mountains stretching from San Telmo in the west to the far northeastern tip of the island.

Soak up the Spanish atmosphere by walking the remote paths of the north-west coast of Majorca under the watchful gaze of the Sierra de Tramuntan mountains. Make your way through lush, fertile land through olive, carob and fig groves and smell the sweet tang of citrus orchards as you follow the old pilgrim route down the Es Barranc Gorge or climb the heights of l’Ofre on our higher grade option.

This area of Majorca offers a great variety of scenery and difficulty of terrain which you can explore further with our two leader, two grade options now on every departure. From our resort we can see Puig Mayor (1400m the highest peaks of Majorca. These mountains provide some wonderful walking. Walking inland, passing quaint farmsteads, we can also visit the small town of Soller. Connected to its coastal namesake by a three mile ancient tramway, this attractive town maintains a traditional Spanish feel.

Far from the hustle and bustle of Magaluf the quiet frankly picture perfect port of Puerto de Soller lies on a lagoon where the mountains meet the sea. Despite being a popular resort with tourists, it is a relaxed and unassuming place retaining much of its local character. It is a good starting point for our exploration along the coast and into the mountains where the walks and views are magnificent.
