What you'll be doing
Day One: Arrive Mallorca
- Dinner Included
Day Two: Deia´ circular Route
We start in Deià, one of the most iconic villages in Mallorca and home to the legendary writer Robert Graves. We'll take a short loop through the village, visiting the church and the historic graveyard before heading out.
From there we follow a beautiful path through the vegetable gardens of local residents, winding through ancient olive groves until we join the GR221, the most famous long-distance trail in Mallorca.
The trail leads us through the tiny hamlet of Llucalcari before reaching the coastline, where we pick up the Camí de Pintors, the Painters' Path. This stretch offers some of the most spectacular views of the week, hugging the cliffs with the Mediterranean stretching out below.
We finish the hike descending to Cala Deià, a stunning hidden cove where, if time and sea conditions allow, we can take a refreshing swim or grab a coffee at one of the local bars before making our way to bus pick up point.

Day Three: Postman's Route, Esporles to Banyalbufar
Today we transfer to the mountain village of Esporles, a pretty village that retains much of its original charm, with typical stone faced houses and winding streets. Here we begin the popular hiking 'Old Postman's Route'. The Camí Des Correu (Post Road) is the royal road with medieval roots dating to 1401, and connects Esporles with Banyalbufar. Until the 19th Century, this public path was the only means of communication between the two towns and, from there, with Palma. But after the current road between Esporles and Banyalbufar was inaugurated, the path was abandoned. The Consell de Mallorca restored it in 1999 and included it in the path network of the Ruta de Piedra en Seco. The route runs through holm oak forests and has wonderful views of the Serra de Tramuntana coast.

The sandy beach of Santa Ponsa is a short walk away, or we can explore the city of Palma, known as the 'pearl of the Mediterranean,' which is 12.4 miles away and is perfect for a day trip. The capital of the island boasts the huge Santa María Cathedral, a Gothic landmark from the 13th Century which overlooks the Bay of Palma.
- Breakfast & Dinner Included
Day Five: Valldemosa circular route
This morning, we transfer to the hilltop village of Valldemossa. From there, we begin a small circular route taking us to the Hermitage of Valldemossa. We see the ruins of the 'ermites velles' chapel and cross several oak forests. Whilst walking, we'll find numerous remains of different typical constructions of old professions linked to the rural world in the Serra de Tramuntana, such as lime kilns or coal bunkers.

If you are taking part in an excursion which includes 4 x 4 off road drives, quad biking, motorcycling or snowmobiling you need to check your travel insurer will offer you adequate cover. You will also need to sign a waiver form.
Shortly before your holiday, you will be invited to join an optional WhatsApp group to connect with your fellow travellers and your Tour Leader.
It is important that you have the correct footwear. It is essential to wear walking boots that are comfortable and preferably lightweight, with some ankle support and a good grip. If you already have a pair of boots that you are happy walking in (including during hot/wet weather and on hard ground), then bring these along. However, if you are bringing new footwear, do make sure they are well broken in before you arrive. The weather, even in summer, can be unpredictable. We would therefore recommend you travel with clothing suitable for all conditions, and suggest you use the following checklist as a guideline of what to take:
- Walking boots with good ankle support
- Waterproofs – jacket and trousers
- Walking poles – recommended as they provide good support for the knees, particularly on downhill sections of walks and when conditions are wet/slippery
- Lightweight trousers and shorts with pockets
- Shirts or t-shirts for walking in
- Walking socks – several pairs
- Lightweight fleece or jumper
- Hat & gloves
- Daysack/rucksack for walking
- Umbrella – it can be used also for protection from the sun as well as rain
- Lightweight drinking bottle to carry water whilst walking
- Small first aid kit – plasters, insect repellant, etc
- Good, high factor sunscreen, sunhat and sunglasses – the sun’s strength is often multiplied in mountainous areas.
