DAY 3: The ‘brutal’ day - Platja Fornells to Cala Morell

We aren’t going to lie, this day is the killer of feet, legs and spirits so, if you do the whole thing, you should be very pleased with yourself. If you want to attempt the whole day, great but you must be a competent hill/ mountain walker. On this day we offer 3 options – 1) the whole day, 2) The hilly bit only (first 14 miles) or, 3) the flatter bit (the last 8 miles). If you just want to do the last 8 miles we will take you by minibus to that point.

Distance: 22 miles (14 + 8 miles)

Hilly or Flat: Hilly. The first 12 miles is relentless then it flattens out…a bit!

Lunch RV Point: Cala del Pilar car park (optional as 1 km off route - also the 8 miler drop off point)

Lunch included: Yes

Any shops or supermarkets?: No. This is very remote countryside

After a lovely al fresco lunch, the end of the day is just 3 miles to the south in Cala Blanca. A great ‘recovery’ day!

DAY 5: The ‘finally it’s flat’ day – Cala Blanca to Cala Galdana*

On day 5 you get to breathe a sigh of relief as the terrain flattens right out to coastal pavements, flat off road pathway and a few more urbanisations. Looking west you will see the neighbouring Mallorca and take in the lovely Cap d’Artrutx lighthouse. Onto Cala n Bosc for lunchtime and then it’s just a day of glorious beaches.
