Entrance to the Puig de Na Penyal cave

Description of the walk

Start on the promenade along Platja de Sant Llorenç in Cala Millor.

(S/E) Facing the sea, turn right and follow the beach to Parc de la Mar, then continue to the right (west). At Parc de la Mar, pass between the Bahia del Este and Cala Millor Park hotels.

(1) Turn right (north-west) onto Avinguda Badia de Llevant and follow it to the end.

(2) Turn left (south-west) onto the Ma-4023, passing the Monte Safari hotel.

(3) Turn right onto Cami de na Penyal until you reach the old railway line, which has been converted into a footpath.

(4) Take the first road on the right (north-east), pass the Bella Vista restaurant and tennis club, and take the path that climbs to the left (north-north-east).

(5) You’ll see the entrance to a cave on your right and may even be able to visit it. Watch out for wild tortoises – don’t run them over!

(6) You’ll reach the first summit, Puig de Na Penyal (211m), with a superb view of Bahía de Cala Millor, La Costa dels Pins and Sa Punta de n’Amer. Head back down, go round the left (west) of Puig de sa Bassa, pass the first two paths on the right, then take the third path on the right (north-north-east). Enter the pine forest and stay on the path on the left until you reach a car park and a school on the outskirts of the village of Son Severa.

(7). Turn left along the stone aqueduct to the summit of Puig de sa Font (271m).

(8) Views over the bay, the village of Son Severa and the hinterland. Head back down the same path (watch out for tortoises) and enjoy the view of the imposing façade of the Iglesia Nova.

(7) From the car park, take Carrer del Doctor Servera to Plaça de Sant Ignasi and its Iglesia Sant Joan Baptista.

(9) From the square, head left towards Carrer de Ses Creus and its beautiful houses, then turn immediately right towards the Iglesia Nova.

(10) Return to the square, heading south-east.

(9) Go round the church on the left and cross Plaça Sant Joan and Plaça de s’Abeurador; take Avinguda de la Constitució, which becomes the well-shaded Avinguda Formentera, until you reach a large seven-arm roundabout (petrol station).

(11). Take the fourth exit (opposite) onto the MA-4026, continuing south-east and straight on until you reach the beach where you started (S/E).

A walk in gloomy weather, with plenty of pavements and tarmac.
The most interesting section is between points 4 and 6, although the path is quite steep.
The return journey to the cave is a matter of following your instincts; personally, I didn’t see any tortoises.

A pleasant walk; the first section is gently sloping, following the Na Penyal path.
You then have to cross several very rocky sections which present some challenges.
Stunning views over Cala Millor and Cala Bona bays.
Watch your ankles – you’ll need sturdy footwear. Allow three hours to walk round the Puig and head back down via Son Servera.

Ready to embark on a getaway where the Mediterranean is your constant companion? From the moment you set off from Cala Moll, let yourself be carried away by the waves lapping against the rocks, while the path reveals pearly coves and cliffs bathed in light. You will first pass through the secret coves of Na Tocanera, a refuge for seagulls and a treasure trove of sea scents, before the panoramic views open up onto the rugged headlands of Capdepera. Finally, this coastal loop ends in Provensals, with its pastel-coloured streets and warm atmosphere, in beauty and serenity.

⚑Departure from Capdepera (Balearic Islands)
Put on your walking shoes and let the sea breeze carry you away as you set off from Cala Moll. The path clings to the cliffs, where the turquoise sea murmurs beneath your feet. Soon, the Capdepera lighthouse appears on the horizon, a granite guardian watching over the sparkling waters. Continue towards Pointe de l'Olla, between secret coves and sculpted rocks, before reaching Pointe des Gullo, the setting for wild panoramas and moments suspended in time. Between sky, sea and light, this route invites you to savour the essentials, in a rugged and vital harmony.

⚑Departure from Capdepera (Balearic Islands)
Route starting from Cala Agulla , first passing through the pine forest to go around, then through the pine and oak forest to Cala Llobriga, then up to Som Jaumell for a spectacular panoramicview of Cala Lliteres, Capdepera, Cala Mezquida and, on a clear day, as far as Cap de Formentor. In some places, the trail is uneven and unshaded, so take care, especially in hot weather. You can take a well-deserved break for a swim at the various coves along the route.

A beautiful hike, difficult when temperatures are above 30 degrees and in strong sunshine. There is not much shade at higher altitudes. Moderate difficulty below 30°C and in cloudy weather. This is a beautiful walk, which guarantees you a 360-degree panorama once you reach the top!
