Why Serra de Tramuntana matters
The Serra de Tramuntana is the wild side of Mallorca. Terraced slopes covered in olive trees fall to the sea, and tiny stone villages cling to the cliffs. Hiking trails and winding roads, loved by cyclists, cross the range. The cultural landscape is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Go for the views, the villages and the empty roads.
Talking points
- The mountains are a UNESCO cultural landscape.
