Serra de Tramuntana
07184, Balearic Islands, Spain
Serra de Tramuntana is Mallorca’s rugged north‑west mountain range, a dramatic landscape of limestone peaks, terraced olive groves and pine‑clad valleys that links charming villages such as Valldemossa, Deià and Sóller. It’s a playground for walkers, cyclists and anyone seeking scenic drives, coastal viewpoints and traditional Mallorcan culture away from the resorts.
What Makes It Special
The range is a UNESCO‑listed cultural landscape where ancient dry‑stone terraces, traditional irrigation systems and centuries‑old mountain paths (notably the long‑distance GR 221 ‘Dry Stone Route’) combine with spectacular coastal panoramas.
Insider Tips
Set out early for hikes or drives to avoid midday heat and crowds, carry plenty of water and sturdy footwear, consider tackling the GR 221 in stages or with a local guide, and allow extra time on the MA‑10 road for narrow bends and stopping at viewpoints like Mirador Es Colomer.
