Cross to the Mountains

West into the Serra de Tramuntana — a clifftop castle climb, the legendary lamb at Es Verger, and your first mountain sunset.

🗓️

Today's schedule

MORNING
🚗 Drive into the Serra de Tramuntana
Check into your mountain base at Deià or Sóller.
MIDDAY
🥾 Castell d'Alaró climb

The legendary slow-roast lamb shoulder — book ahead if you haven't.

🎒

Remember & pack today

  • Check out of the Canyamel base properly
  • Hiking shoes/boots — the Castell d'Alaró trail is rocky
  • Water + snacks for the hike
  • Sun protection — the trail is exposed
  • Es Verger lamb reservation confirmation
  • A light jacket for cooler mountain evenings
☀️ Weather note: Evenings in the Tramuntana run noticeably cooler than the coast — pack a layer even if the day was warm.
