Gorg Blau
Gorg Blau, 07315, Balearic Islands, Spain
Gorg Blau is a tranquil drinking-water reservoir tucked into the Serra de Tramuntana, its deep blue-green surface framed by pine-covered slopes. Easily reached from the MA-10 mountain road, it’s a peaceful place for short lakeside walks, picnics and as a gateway for longer hikes into the Tramuntana range.
What Makes It Special
As an active reservoir supplying drinking water the site feels unusually pristine — swimming and boating are restricted — and its mirror-like water and surrounding cliffs make it a striking photographic stop; it also connects on foot to the nearby Cúber reservoir and sections of the GR 221 (Dry Stone Route).
Insider Tips
Go at first light or late afternoon for the best light and calm reflections, park carefully in the limited lay-bys on the MA-10, wear sturdy shoes as paths are uneven and not wheelchair-friendly, bring picnic supplies because facilities are limited, and check mountain weather before you set out.
