Details of the hiking tour with Eurohike
The starting point of the tour is the unique harbour town of Port de Sóller. The bay and the harbour invite you to take a walk right after your arrival. The first day of the tour is no less picturesque. The route takes you to Fornalutx, which has been voted "Spain's most beautiful village" several times. If you walk north from here, you will get wonderful views of the mountains.
Day 3 is mainly downhill: We start at the impressive Cuber reservoir and from there along a restored pilgrimage path that snakes back to Port de Sóller. In addition, there is an impressive coastal path to the tranquil Sa Calobra and from there a boat trip along the coast as well as a magnificent hike, starting from the artists' village of Deia through numerous bays. The rest day is suitable for an excursion to Palma, for example.
Highlights of the tour on the west coast of Mallorca
The picturesque bay of Pt. Sóller with its many sailing boats is a real feast for the eyes. Due to its great location in the northwest of the island, activities and tranquillity can be combined particularly well here.
Enchanting green valley of the oranges: A must-see! The region around Fornalutx is known for the cultivation of citrus fruits of all kinds and the corresponding delicacies. Jam, syrup and liqueur made from oranges, mandarins and lemons - a perfect treat to take home.
Impressive Tramuntana Mountains: "The north on the compass rose" is the name of this rugged yet charming mountain range, which is due to the cool north wind that blows across the island from there.
Mallorca's famous west coast in all its facets: Rugged and at the same time gentle, dreamy but also lively - hardly any other destination is as diverse as Mallorca and the west coast in particular.
Views to dream of: Enchanting bays, majestic rocks, the expanse of the sea - your eyes will not be able to get enough of the beauty of this spot on earth.

Accommodation
Hotel Es Port Port de Sóller
★★★★
The stately home dating back to the 17th century forms the centre of the hotel owned by the Montis family. Cosy corners in the historic walls allow you to immerse yourselves into times long gone by. However modernity has its rightful place here too ... in addition to comfortable rooms the large hotel pool, the indoor pool and the spa area provide extensive comfort zones.

Man kann eigentlich gar nicht so beurteilen was am schönsten war. Wir haben nicht gewusst das Mallorca so schön ist. Wenn wir uns für eine Tour entscheiden müssen dann würden wir sagen es war die Tour von Deia nach Pt.de Soller. Schade war das man in Sa Tuent und Sa Calobra nicht baden gehen konnte, weil sehr viele Quallen waren. Im angeführten Restaurant in Sa. Tuent ist man nicht sehr erwünscht wenn man nur einen Kaffee und Kuchen zu sich nimmt.

Wir bedauern, dass Sie die Bademöglichkeit in Sa Tuent und Sa Calobra nicht nutzen konnten und wünschen Ihnen noch einen schönen Sommer! Ihr Eurohike-Team
