The weather forecast was terrible, wind and high rain all day long. From talking to other hikers it sounds like the trail down is a few kilometers of trail, then lots of road walking. The couple from Madrid found a bus from somewhere along the way and were planning on hiking there, then taking the […]
Tossals Verds to Refugi Son Amer 08.03.2024 we woke up to rain, but the forecast said it was going to clear up and get windy. We decided we’d rather deal with wind than rain, also the hike is only about 16 km or 5 hours (not that we trust those estimations anymore), so we had […]
Sóller to Tossals Verds 07.03.2024 We had read a lot of conflicting information about this section, many described it as long and difficult, taking up to 9 hours, and being as much as 28 kilometers long with a lot of gain. To make it worse we were staying at Port Sóller, at the refuge by […]
Deià to Refugi de Muleta 06.03.2024 Being my birthday and considering the long days we had the last two days we decided to take a chill day. That being said I also didn’t want to miss all of the shore walking in the next section, so we decided to follow the shore trail for a […]
Banyalbufar to Deià 05.03.2024 One of the reasons we chose to stay at the hotel Son Borguny in Banyalbufar is the breakfast was rated very highly, and sure enough breakfast was spectacular. In particular they had an onion and goat cheese variation on Coca de Trampó, which is sort of like pizza, although distinctly different. […]
Finca Ses Fontanelles to Banyalbufar 04.03.2024 Breakfast at the finca was ok, nothing compared to the dinner the night before, we hung out with Cat and Phillip again at breakfast. Mallorca seems to run late (although possibly just because it’s off season), breakfast is at 8 everywhere, but it seems dinner is later too. As […]
Getting started 03.03.2024 Normally for my birthday I like to take a ski trip, but the weather in most of Europe has been extremely warm and there’s little snow in the area, so we started looking at alternatives. It turns out Ryanair flies to Mallorca and depending on the days flights can be very cheap. […]
We took our sweet time waking up and even had coffee, it was colder than expected considering we were so far down in the valley, which is a little funny because it’s still rather high up, just not compared to where were camping the past couple nights. The walk out to town was rather boring […]
Overnight: the night started fine, I actually slept really well until about 2 AM , then the stars were looking nice so I got out and took pictures. The wind was strong, but mostly just making a lot of noise moving the tent around, until a big gust came and pulled up two sets of […]
Sometime around 1 AM I woke up and the sky was full of bright flashes. I knew a storm was coming, and it looked powerful based on the constant flashing, but sometimes they pass nearby. As it got brighter Betty woke up and noticed it too, but the stars were still visible. A little while […]
