What to do in Palma de Mallorca

Palma de Mallorca is the island's capital and the natural gateway to the Serra de Tramuntana, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Hiking along the GR-221, known as the Ruta de la Pedra en Sec (Dry Stone Route), crosses the range from north to south along dry-stone paths with alternating views of the Mediterranean and the interior valleys of olive and carob trees. Climbing in the Tramuntana karst sectors, with walls above the sea at Sa Gubia and Penyal des Migdia, combines technical quality with outstanding scenery. Mallorca's coastline offers sea kayaking to coves accessible only from the water, and diving on rocky and sandy seabeds with high biodiversity. Mountain biking routes through the sierra and the flat interior of the island connect stone villages and historic estates with descents mixing forest tracks and technical trails. Horse riding through the Mallorcan countryside, across farmland and pine forests, completes an adventure offering that can be enjoyed for almost ten months of the year.
