The Charm of Mallorca in Fincas

Moderate. From 4 to 5/6 hours of walking and/or 300 to 700m of ascent and 400 to 800m of descent per day, with no technical difficulties, on easy to moderate paths and trails. The paths are sometimes rocky. There are no technical difficulties, but you need to be in good physical shape.

No luggage to carry: you only carry a small daypack with your picnic lunch and everything you need for the day. Your luggage will be waiting for you at your accommodation each evening.

Prices include the transfers listed in the itinerary.

From 2 people.

7 days / 6 nights / 5 days of walking.

A digital travel pack will be sent to you before departure, including the route guide, accommodation list, vouchers and access to the GPS app. For an additional charge, we can provide a printed pack (including a detailed route description), which will be given to you on arrival at a welcome meeting. This is a self-guided holiday, with no guide, so you will travel independently throughout your stay.

Accommodation

You stay in fincas, very comfortable properties typical of Mallorca. Fincas are often stone houses with a swimming pool and beautiful outdoor areas.
You stay in 3 fincas, in rooms for two with a bathroom.

In Pollença: Finca Son Sant Jordi

A 17th-century family home blending modern and traditional styles. The entire property is arranged around an oasis of greenery and a swimming pool.

In Orient: Finca Son Palou

This beautiful house sits in the heart of an apple and cherry orchard, nestled in the Tramuntana mountains. Peace and quiet prevail in the garden and the cosy areas around the pool. The restaurant serves dishes made with organic ingredients and produce from the estate’s farm.

In Sóller: Finca Can Quatre

Located in Sóller’s valley of orange groves, this typical Mallorcan finca has been fully renovated in a warm, modern style and has a swimming pool. You will stay just 10 minutes from Sóller’s main square, in peaceful, relaxing surroundings.

Please note: the accommodation list is indicative. If any of these properties is unavailable, you will stay in a finca offering a similar level of comfort.

Meals

Breakfasts included. For lunch, you can order a picnic from the hotel, buy supplies at your overnight stop, or eat along the way at a traditional inn. For dinner, you can choose the half-board option for 4 evenings (2 dinners in Sóller and 2 dinners in Orient). Please let us know about any food allergies or special dietary requirements when booking; we will do our best to adapt your meals.

Start

On Day 1 at your hotel in Pollença.

Finish

On Day 7 after breakfast at your hotel in Sóller.

Future departure dates have not yet been confirmed. Please ask Grand Angle for the current schedule before booking transport.

By plane

Fly to Palma de Mallorca Airport from a departure city that suits you. Flights are not included in this land-only holiday. Check current flight schedules directly with your airline. For travel onwards to Pollença and for the return from Sóller, consult the Mallorca public transport network or ask us about transfer options before booking.

By boat

Ferry routes connect Mallorca with mainland Spain and other Balearic Islands. Check current routes, sailing times and vehicle rules directly with your chosen operator before booking onward travel.

A number of our trips offer opportunities to swim, during a day’s route or at the end of the day. It would be a shame to miss out. However, we emphasise that you alone must judge whether it is appropriate to swim; any swimming is therefore your responsibility and at your own risk.

For hiking

• Waterproof hiking boots with ankle support, a sturdy heel counter and soles with good grip
• Comfortable hiking socks
• A fleece
• Comfortable walking trousers (quick-drying technical fabric)
• Shorts, T-shirts and technical underwear (quick-drying fabric)
• A long-sleeved shirt (quick-drying technical fabric)
• Walking poles (telescopic), very important for making walking easier

Please note: synthetic technical clothing performs very well. Merino wool clothing is now also available; it performs very well, is comfortable to wear and has the advantage of resisting odours from perspiration! (Brands include Icebreaker, Ruka, etc.).
As a general rule, avoid cotton, which makes you cold when wet.

For your lunchtime picnic

• A plastic bowl, container or plate
• Cutlery (spoon, fork, knife)
• A water bottle with a capacity of at least 1,5 to 2 litres (essential)

For protection from sun and rain

• High-protection sunscreen and sunglasses
• A hat, cap or bucket hat
• A rain poncho or Gore-Tex jacket, and possibly Gore-Tex trousers

After your hike

• A pair of trainers for the evening
• A change of clothes and underwear
• A toiletry bag and small towel
• Swimwear
• A small first-aid kit: personal medication, Elastoplast, Biogaze or “2nd skin”, gauze, disinfectant, arnica pellets and aspirin for minor aches and injuries… (quite a list! But rest assured, your first-aid kit often comes home untouched after your week of hiking)

This list is intended as a guide and should be adapted to the season.

• A comfortable small backpack of 30 to 40 litres with a hip belt, to carry your personal belongings and picnic during the day
• One bag for luggage transfers: a backpack, a travel bag in good condition or a suitcase that is not too bulky. One bag per person, limited to 20 kg

Country: Spain
Archipelago: Balearic Islands
Highest point: Puig Major (1445m)
Largest city: Palma
Population: 873414 inhabitants

Clichés abound about the largest of the Balearic Islands. Yet Mallorca is much more than sunshine, beaches and hotels.
In the heart of Mallorca, sleepy villages sit amid farmland, olive groves and almond trees whose white blossoms blanket the landscape in February. The archipelago’s capital, Palma de Mallorca, holds some delightful surprises behind the walls of its old town.
As for the twisting Serra de Tramuntana, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is truly spellbinding. Stretching along the island’s entire west coast, it plunges towards the sea in dramatic cliffs and rugged peaks, rising to more than 1000m above the water. Here, the few hill towns and villages, surrounded by citrus groves, are mirrored by charming little ports tucked into tiny coves, reached along wildly winding roads with countless bends.
