Escorca
07315 Escorca, Balearic Islands, Spain
Escorca is a sparsely populated mountain municipality in the Serra de Tramuntana of north‑west Mallorca, centred around the historic Santuari de Lluc and surrounded by dramatic peaks (including Puig Major), remote coves such as Sa Calobra and Torrent de Pareis, and a network of well‑known hiking routes.
What Makes It Special
The area contains the dramatic Torrent de Pareis gorge and the sinuous descent to Sa Calobra — one of Mallorca’s most spectacular coastal landforms, offering breathtaking scenery, striking rock formations and a memorable drive or hike.
Insider Tips
Visit early in the day to avoid crowds and secure parking, combine a stop at the Santuari de Lluc with a short mountain walk, and bring sturdy shoes and layers because weather in the Tramuntana can change quickly; in high season consider taking a bus or boat to Sa Calobra instead of driving.
