Spectacular walks to discover the interior and coastline of this traditional Spanish island
We start at our hotel in Puerto Sóller, arriving in time for a welcome group dinner.
We walk along the coast to the beautiful little bay of Cala Deiá, where (time permitting) we can paddle in the turquoise waters of the bay. From here, we head inland towards one of the most beautiful villages in Mallorca, Deiá, owing to its idyllic setting in the hills. This walk explores the delightful area between the mountains and the sea, using old tracks and paths over the cliffs, and offers fantastic coastal views along the Mediterranean pinewoods and coastal shrubs. We stop for a picnic lunch along the way. Walk Profile: Distance- 12km/ 8 miles, ascent 400m, descent 250m, 5 hours duration.
We take the tram to Sóller and walk towards the village of Biniaraitx. From here we follow a wonderful cobbled track known as the Pilgrim Steps, which originally went all the way from Sóller to Lluc to connect the monastery with the port. We then diverge onto a small path up to the Mirador den Quesada, the high point of our day at 957m. This Mirador, or look out point, is at the summit of some particularly rocky outcrops known as the 'Cornadors', of which we will have had some stunning views on our ascent. We descend past a mountain hut and through fields and forests of holm oak until eventually our track brings us back to the centre of Sóller, where we usually stop for a drink or a wander around the town before taking the tram back to Puerto Sóller. Walk Profile: Distance- 16km/ 10 miles, ascent 915m, descent 915m, 6 hours duration.
Today's walk starts from the beautiful village of Valldemossa and ends in 'S'Atalaia Vella' (854m), meaning 'viewpoint' in Mallorquin. From here we take in stunning panoramic views of the coast and the Tramuntana Mountains. For part of the walk, we follow the Archduke’s bridleway, an incredibly scenic path built at the end of the 19th Century by the Austrian Archduke Ludwig Salvator. In the afternoon we have some free time to relax in Puerto Sóller. Walk Profile: Distance- 7km/ 4 miles, ascent 400m, descent 400m, 3 1/2 hours duration.
After a short drive from the hotel, we start our walk from 'Es mirador de ses Barques.' From here we follow an old mule track away from the coast to Coll de Moncaire and head inland through a hidden and unspoilt little valley to Balitx farm. Next, we climb up to Coll de Biniamar to join the coastal path of Sa Costera, offering spectacular scenery throughout, until we reach the little bay of Cala Tuent where the bus will meet us for the transfer (approx. 1 hour) along the beautiful Sa Calobra road to the Lluc monastery. Walk Profile: Distance: 14km/ 9 miles, ascent 275m, descent 650m, 5 hours duration.
Today we enjoy a wonderful circular walk forming an arc around the Monastery of Lluc. The scenery along the route is varied and spectacular, including ancient oak forests, rock formations up to 60m high and views of Mallorca's highest peaks. Walk Profile: Distance- 10km/ 6 miles, ascent 270m, descent 270m, 4 hours duration.
We finish the trip on a high, setting off to climb Puig d'en Galileu, which at 1,181m is one of the island's highest peaks. The recently restored path to the top is beautiful and offers outstanding views across the dramatic Lluc Valley and the peaks of Tomir and Roig. Walk Profile: Distance - 9km/ 6 miles, ascent 700m, descent 700m, 5 hours duration.

Avoiding the scorching hot summer months, we instead take advantage of the
Spring and Autumn when it is the ideal temperature for walking. Wildflowers
bloom in Spring and nature enthusiasts will be amazed by the amount of flora
and fauna we encounter. We usually walk between 4 and 7 hours per day,
including stops and lunch breaks. You will only need to carry your daypack
with a good supply of water, your picnic lunch and waterproof layer. The
footpaths are varied; mostly well marked and firm underfoot, but there are a
few moderately steep ascents and descents and the occasional easy scramble
and unmarked section.
On the ascent of Es Cornadors on day 3, we follow an old pilgrim's trail for
much of the way, which involves quite a lot of stone steps. There is plenty
of time to complete the walks and the pace is fairly gentle. A reasonable
level of fitness will definitely add to your enjoyment of this trip.
Whilst most departures are Activity Level 3 (Moderate), we also offer two
*Activity Level 5 (Challenging) *departures per year. On these departures,
the terrain is similar but the walks are longer and require some scrambling.
There are also steep drops on Days 6 (Puig Tomir) and 7 (Massanella). Please
ensure that you book onto the correct activity level week.
Low altitude throughout.
Hotel & Monastery
The first 4 nights are spent in a comfortable hotel in Puerto Soller with en
suite rooms, outdoor swimming pool (seasonal), sun terrace, free Wi-Fi, bar
and restaurant and is within easy reach of the pebble beach.
For the remaining 3 nights we have a change of scenery as we stay in the
beautiful Lluc Monastery. Although not a hotel, this historic 13th Century
building is set amidst tranquil countryside and offers excellent en suite
rooms and delicious food. Wi-Fi is available in public areas for a fee.
Single rooms are limited on this tour but may be available for a supplement
on request. Please enquire at the time of booking.
Our local partner, Eduardo, is a highly experienced qualified mountain guide,
local to the village of Soller, Mallorca. He has a particular passion for the
native flora and fauna found in the Tramuntana Mountains and has been guiding
groups both in Mallorca and mountainous regions worldwide (the Andes, the
Alps, the Atlas Mountains, the Slovakian Tatras and even the Himalayas) since
1999.

Transfers from Palma airport to Soller and from Lluc to Palma airport are by
private bus. Other transfers as part of a walk are a combination of private
and public buses. The public buses can get busy and occasionally you may have
to wait for the next bus but this is not usually a problem. Your luggage will
be transported for you from Puerto Soller to Lluc, so you only have to carry
a daypack.
*Travelling flight inclusive from London: 8 days*
The group flight from London is a daytime flight departing on Day 1 of the
itinerary.
*Flights from London*
We normally use the scheduled services of EasyJet or British Airways
(depending on availability). As flight timings and schedules change regularly
we recommend you call one of our specialist sales staff or your agent to
confirm up‐to‐date timings.
*Travelling land only: 8 days starting at Puerto Soller and ending in Lluc*
Your trip normally starts at our accommodation in Puerto Soller in the
afternoon of Day 1 of the itinerary. Details of how to reach the start point
are provided in the Final Joining Instructions ‐ sent approximately two
weeks before departure. Accommodation check‐in times are normally from
around 3pm.
Please note timings may change at a later date and cannot be confirmed until
approximately two weeks before departure.
Airport transfers are included for those on the group flights. Please note
that transfers are not included for clients arriving on any other flight,
even if Exodus has booked it.
If you require airport transfers, you may (by prior arrangement only) be
able to join the group transfer. Transfers are arranged to coincide with the
arrival time of the group flight ‐ please check the group flight details 2
weeks before departure. If you do not take this transfer, or miss it, you
must make your own way to the joining point at your own expense.
Private transfers are not available on this trip, however if you are making
your own way to Puerto Soller from the airport, the easiest way is to take a
taxi from the rank directly outside the airport ‐ the journey should take
30 minutes. The cost of a taxi is likely to be about EUR 60‐70 should
you decide to make your way independently.
There are no direct buses or public transport routes from Palma airport to
Puerto Soller, but there are various slower indirect options (these may take
up to 1.5hrs in total). You can take a local bus from the airport to the
main bus station in Palma (Plazade Espanya) for approximately EUR 3, and from
there choose between either another bus or the more scenic route by train
and tram.
Please note that the weather in mountainous areas can be unpredictable all
year round and occasionally your leader may be forced to amend the itinerary
accordingly. On the days where we climb the mountains, it can be cold when
the wind blows from the north, so we recommend carrying a warm layer with
you. Mallorca generally enjoys fine weather conditions although there is
always the possibility of some rain. February and April can be pleasantly
mild, with a daily average of five hours or more of sunshine. Average maximum
daytime temperatures vary between 14 and 19ºC. It is generally quite hot in
May, June and September with approximately 10 hours of sunshine per day.
Average maximum daytime temperatures are 23 - 26ºC. October to April are
colder months with increased rainfall and average maximum daytime
temperatures range between 15 and 23ºC but even at this time of year it is
often perfectly pleasant.

For the meals not included, allow EUR 8-15 for lunches and EUR 20-30 for

*Local Sustainable Tourism Tax:*
As of July 2016, the local government of the Balearic Islands has introduced
a 'Sustainable Tourism Tax' for people staying in accommodation on the
islands. This includes all hotels and monastaries. The local administration
is in charge of the tax, which means this will need to be collected by the
accommodation provider at check-in or check-out. This fee is currently set
for EUR 2.20 per person per night but can fluctuate and change slightly. For
this trip, please allow approximately EUR 15-20 per person to cover these
taxes which can be paid locally upon check-in by each group member.
Although optional, a tip for the leader at the end of the trip is greatly
appreciated. As a guideline we recommend a contribution between EUR 15 to EUR
20 per client per week. It is also customary to leave a tip for the driver.
This can be handed to your leader at the end of the trip.
