Description of the walk

(S) The path starts at Cala Molins, in Sant Vicenç (when facing the sea, it’s the first cove after the central rocky ridge). There’s a wooden signpost.
Follow the small road that runs along the coast towards the north-east. The sea is on your left.

(1) Ignore a path branching off to the left, running along the coast, and head up to the right towards the interior. You’ll come to a roundabout; take the second path from the left (the first leads to a house). The fairly steep climb levels out.

(2) You reach the Coll de Siller. The wide stony track gives way to a path that winds its way down through the heath. After a while, you join a track leading to the house visible from the pass on your right. Take the track on the left. At a Fork in the road, turn left again.

(3) You come to a gate closed by a chain. The chain is loose, allowing you to squeeze through. Personally, I would have turned back. A local told me to go through, saying this is the normal route. This has since been confirmed to me. You walk up a straight path.
When you reach a small road, turn left. It curves round to the right of its own accord. Pass two narrow streets on your left. Then turn left.

(4) You’ll come out onto the ring road/Route de Formentor. Head left to reach the bus station. (E)

Notes

You can get to Sant Vicenç by bus from Port de Pollença. The journey takes a quarter of an hour. Buses leave from the station, which is the end point of the walk.

Sant Vicenç is a very built-up area. You’ll have no trouble finding somewhere to eat or drink.

Worth a visit

The lovely Cala Carbo.

The heath with its goats.

From Coll de Siller, there’s a lovely view of the bay of Port de Pollença.

Hike done with the family and a 13-year-old child, in the blazing sun. Even though it's not long, make sure you take enough water to stay hydrated.

The trail passes by two beaches: Cala Molins and Cala Carbo.

Start by walking along the sea on the left. Be careful with children and don't get too close as there are no safety barriers.

The hike is marked with signs in some places.

Pass through the Col de Siller with beautiful views of the port of Pollença.

Discover the market on Wednesdays until 1pm, then visit the port

Arrival at the bus station to return by bus with the 321 to Pollença then Cala Sant Vicenç.

A lovely little walk. It’s more road than footpath, but it’s still a nice little walk...
The various coves at Sant Vicenç are magnificent; there’s a lovely view of Port de Pollença from the pass.

:We are a Franco-Dutch couple of walkers who are always amazed by the quality of the routes on Visiorando, and in particular the accuracy of the directions. This time, whilst out walking in Mallorca, we discovered online this magnificent route from the coast to the inland via a pass, offering superb views of Porto Pollensa and the coves. Easy and straightforward.Two comments: the hunters we met were very friendly, but we were appalled by the housing estates that have already been built and those currently under construction. Thank you – we’ll suggest some routes in the Netherlands if you’d like.
