Imagine traversing Mallorca’s Sierra de Tramontana, where soaring limestone peaks meet olive-terraced valleys and historic monasteries. The 'Majorca Hike: Sierras & Monasteries' is an 8-day self-guided walking trip ideal for travelers with a passion for both nature and culture. From Palma to the scenic heart of Mallorca, this tour package guides you through the island’s most captivating routes, including the dramatic “Archduke’s trail” above Valldemossa and the Pilgrims’ Way climbing through rugged gorges.

The itinerary highlights spectacular viewpoints—such as Puig Roig and Massanella peak—alongside tranquil villages like Soller and Deia, renowned for their stone architecture and vibrant flowers. Bird enthusiasts may spot the elusive European Black Vulture or Eleonora’s Falcon circling the cliffs. Between invigorating hikes, you’ll have the chance to ride vintage trams and railways, visit the iconic Lluc monastery, or relax by the Mediterranean with a boat trip to Sa Calobra.

For those who appreciate moderate trekking with enriching historical and ecological encounters, this journey through Majorca’s sierras and monasteries promises an unforgettable Mediterranean adventure.

day 1Arrive Santuari de Lluc Monastery

The Santuari de Lluc monastery and pilgrimage site is located in north-west Majorca. It is situated in a basin at 525m and is surrounded by a number of high mountains including Puig de Massanella and Puig Tomir. The sanctuary was founded in the 13th century after a Moorish shepherd found a statue of the Virgin Mary on the site where the monastery was later erected. Lluc is considered to be the most important pilgrimage site on Majorca. There is choral singing in the monastery church at 19:30 on most evenings, which guests can attend.

Accommodation
Your first three nights of this walking holiday are spent in well-furnished rooms with ensuite facilities. Clean sheets are provided but the monastic custom is that you make up your own beds. Rooms look either inwards over a peaceful courtyard or outwards to the surrounding thickly forested mountains. The Monastery clock is silent after 10pm. Meals are taken at an adjacent restaurant. The cuisine will be distinctively Mallorcan although with international overtones.

We stayed in lovely villages and the walks were all of a good length for us. The paths were quiet and the weather was good.

I chose this walking package as a 30th anniversary trip after reading a travel photography book about Mallorca when 12 years old - so it's been a dream of mine ever since, and Mallorca was everything I hoped it would be! I liked that this package offered a solo walking experience but with detailed notes and maps as guides. The moderate-challenging rating is accurate, as there are options to do paths that are both easy and challenging. We like the moderately challenging routes so that's what we chose. The accommodations were excellent - clean, unique, with wonderful service and breakfasts. We arrived early on a Friday and chose a shorter walk for that day, so we actually got 3 walking options in at Lluc. What I loved about the trip was that each hike was different and challenging in various ways. It included woodlands, agricultural areas, craggy mountains, coastal terrains and enough charming stone villages, plus goats (in trees). We used a combination of the GPS maps and the physical notes, and there was only one tricky spot where the GPS seemed to diverge from the notes and we ended up on private, locked property. I did tell the company about that problem. I hope to visit Mallorca again and I am now interested in other walking packages offered by the company.
