Fornalutx
07109 Fornalutx, Balearic Islands, Spain
Fornalutx is a picture-postcard mountain village in the Serra de Tramuntana near Sóller, celebrated for its narrow cobbled streets, honey‑coloured stone houses with terracotta roofs and terraced orange groves — a peaceful, authentic base for hiking, cycling and soaking up traditional Mallorcan village life.
What Makes It Special
Direct access to classic Tramuntana walks: the village sits at the start of well‑marked routes such as the Barranc de Biniaraix gorge and sections of the long‑distance GR 221, so you can step straight from the plaza into dramatic mountain scenery.
Insider Tips
Avoid mid-day coach visits by arriving early or late afternoon; wear sturdy shoes for uneven cobbles, and either park on the village outskirts (spaces are limited) or reach Fornalutx from Sóller by bus or on foot along the old path.
