Mallorca has secured its place among the best hiking destinations in all of Spain as a result of its diverse landscapes and scenic beauty. The beautiful coastline and the iconic Serra de Tramuntana range boost the overall hiking experience of an average tourist looking for some adventure. As there are numerous wonderful hiking trails scattered across the island, tourists, especially foreign ones, find themselves perplexed while deciding which trail to choose. That’s why we have decided to write this article to make things easier for you. Here, we have carefully handpicked some of the best routes for hiking in Majorca.

List of the best places to hiking in Majorca 

Here are some of the best-rated hiking routes in Majorca that you should visit at least once in your lifetime.

1. Modified Torrent de Pareis

The Torrent de Pareis is among the most well-known hiking routes in Mallorca. However, the riverbed starts to get filled during November. So this time of the year is not suitable for the hike. But you can modify the hike a bit and walk on a 2.2-kilometer-long trail leading to the beach at the canyon opening.

If you have arrived at the trailhead, you must have experienced the stunning, winding mountain road named Sa Calobra Road. Once you have reached the end of this road, start your hike following the coast. After that, you will pass through a few tunnels, before finally reaching the beach at the canyon entrance.

The pebbled beach and majestic canyon are a treat to hikers. Nonetheless, winters eliminate any chance of exploring the wonderful canyon trail. So you have to be satisfied with only the opening and walk in reverse to complete the hike. But if you don’t like to walk that much, this 45-minute short, easy walk is ideal for you even in summer.

2. Sant Elm – La Trapa

Another strikingly good coastal trail in Majorca is a short yet steep hike from Sant Elm to La Trapa. From Sant Elm, take the dirt road that leads to the nearby forest. It is from where the hike begins. After climbing for some time, your reward will be the beautiful coastal views.

The more you continue to ascend, the closer you will come to the adjacent island of Parc Natural de Sa Dragonera. The island is unique in the way that it looks like a dragon’s back. Astonishing, isn’t it? From the summit of Pas de La Trapa, you will get a better view of the island.

Also, you will get nice vantage points of the La Trapa ruins and Tramuntana mountains. These places are perfect for some photography, especially aerial photography. As this 4.75-kilometer-long route is a loop trail, you just need to reverse walk to complete the hike. And guess what? It would only take about 2-2.25 hours.

3. Puig de Galatzó

This 7.2-kilometer-long hike takes around 3 hours to complete and is among the best Mallorca hiking trails available out there. The best way to access the trailhead is, no doubt, via Puigpunyent. Once you park your car at Puigpunyent, you will have to walk along the road until you reach a dirt road.

This road will take you to the Pas des Raxto – the Ridge Path. While walking, you will pass through an entrance. As many travel blogs and hiking guides have mentioned many times before, this entrance or gate stays usually open. However, while rare, you might find the gate closed. If you find yourself in such a situation, it is better not to try to trespass.

If it is open, proceed along the steep trail that ascends the Ridge Path. Here, you will get an amazing panoramic view of the surroundings. This steep trail will finally take you to the summit of Puig de Galatzó. Just like the other two routes in our list, Puig de Galatzó is also a loop trail. Thus, you got to retrace your steps to finish the hiking trip.
