Walk a few kilometres without turning off, following the markings you’ll find along the way. You can’t get lost.
After about an hour of gentle walking, you’ll get to Playa de Cala Torta, one of the unspoilt beaches most valued and appreciated by the people of Mallorca. During the summer months, its beach bar is the perfect place to enjoy fresh fish brought straight off the boat by the fishermen. It’s a classic that’s both authentic and magical.
Whatever the season, get out, take a walk and enjoy watching the gulls! After this quick break, the route continues towards Cala Mitjana.
Cala Mitjana is a paradisiac cove lined with sand, crystal-clear water and surroundings so pure it’s like a trip back in time.
