Mountain views and a spectacular scenery define one of the most iconic hikes on our Mediterranean island. The Puig de Galatzó reserve is a great option when looking for a fun activity with children. Here you can take a pleasant and easy walk along a path of about 4 kilometres that leads you through woods, waterfalls and natural water sources.  At the end of the tour you will also reach a recreation area where you will find all kinds of services.

Portals Vells to the lighthouse at Cala Figuera – a seaside walk

In the southwestern area of the island, a beautiful hike to admire the crystal-clear waters of the Med is a nice walk going from Portals Vells to Cala Figuera (there are many Cala Figuera on the island, but this one is known for its lighthouse). On the way from Portals Vells to the lighthouse you will be able to check out some historic caves, a former military base, a watchtower and finish your hike at the lighthouse. After the hike you can take a dip into the turquoise waters of this beautiful cove before wrapping up a lovely day.
