Majorca (Spanish and Catalan: Mallorca) is the largest island of Spain. It is located in the Mediterranean Sea and part of the Balearic Islands archipelago. The name derives from Latin insula maior, "larger island"; later Maiorica.
The capital of the island, Palma, is also the capital of the autonomous community of the Balearic Islands. The Cabrera archipelago is administratively grouped with Majorca (in the municipality of Palma). The anthem of Majorca is La Balanguera.
Like the other Balearic Islands of Ibiza, Formentera, and Minorca, the island is a popular tourist destination. In Germany, the United Kingdom and to a lesser extent, Ireland, where package tourism to the island started in May 1952, Majorca has remained a popular destination.

Meravellosa excursió per la Serra de Tramuntana, amb molt bones vistes sobre la llunyana badia de Palma i millors vistes sobre Na Foradada i el Poble de Deià... Dificultat mitjana.
Wir sind mit der Straßenbahn von Sóller nach Port de Sóller gefahren und habe dort die Wanderung gestartet.Sehr schöne Wanderung über eine Ebene mit Olivenhainen, einer Einkehrmöglichkeit in der Finca Son Mico (leckerer Kaffee, Kuchen und Orangensaft). Später kommt ein Weg mit fantastischem Blick auf die Steilküste, die wir bei stürmischem Meer genießen durften.Von Deià sind wir mit dem Taxi zurück nach Sóller, weil der Bus bereits weg war.
Day 2: circular walks follow ancient mule tracks into the hills around the historic town of Sóller or along the coast to the Cap Gros lighthouse.
Pujada al Puig de Massanella nevat, una mica dificultós degut a la neu trepitjada, però val molt la pena veure aquest paisatge nevat i no habitual a la nostra illa.
One of the most varied walks we've ever done! Do bring a GPS as wayfinding is tricky and the path is overgrown at some places. Only for experienced walkers and you must be sure of foot. Part of the track is in a torrent, so care is needed.

This is an easy walk that anyone could enjoy. There is an initial ascent of some 180 meters, after that it's a stroll down to Soller. Good viewpoints and there is an obvious stop at Son Mico after 1½ hour, where you can picnic with a splendid view. Once you get to Soller, I suggest you carry on, either by foot to Port de Soller or take the funny old tram to...
