Trip from Barcelona itinerary

DAY 1: RECEPTION IN PALMA DE MALLORCA – CIUDAD DE PALMA – SERRA DE TRAMONTANA
We pick you up the clients at the airport and we’ll enjoy the Panoramic Palma visit:
A tour around the city of Palma de Mallorca will take place, visiting museums and representative buildings, also discovering the secrets that this city hides. We will visit with a private guide the Castle of Bellver, the Almudaina, The Cathedral of Palma, the Arabic Baths and other highlights of the city.
At noon, we will move to Banyalbufar, we will visit the wine cellar of Son Vives, in the Serra de Tramontana, where the wine “Malvasia” is made and where we will enjoy a tasting of wine and typical Majorcan products. We will have lunch in the wine cellar.
After lunch, transport to the reserved hotel. We will rest during the afternoon, dinner in a terrace with a great sight of the sunset over the sea.

DAY 2: SERRA DE TRAMONTANA – SOLLER - BINIARRATX – PALMA DE MALLORCA – BARCELONA
We leave the hotel by 8 am with a private vehicle and a guide . After having breakfast in the hotel we will go to Soller, though a road that surrounds the Serra de Tramontana (World Heritage by UNESCO) to contemplate the marvellous sights that nature offers us. Once in Solle we will start our excursion to the gorge, this path was used in the past for peregrination to the Lluc monastery.
At first the path is a sandy path, but it quickly turns into a stony path and sometimes it becomes staggered, this path will takes us to the defile of s’Estret, surrounded by terraces, in which we can find many olive trees. Once we go up to the defile we will be able to see how the walls get a overwhelming verticality searching for the Es Cornadors peaks. The ascend is very beautiful and it concludes in the Coll de l’Orfe from where we will be able to enjoy some spectacular views of the Cúber dam and where we will make a stop to gain some strength for the rest of the day.
At the Cúber dam will conclude our excursion by foot and we will take a bus to the Posesión de Can Det, a Majorcan property of over 400 years old. We will visit this Soller’s house to enjoy a route inside it, where olive oil is still produced like it was in 1561, we also will watch a 5 minutes video about how it is made. Afterwards we will also visit a orange tree plantation (taking some pieces of fruit if we want to) later we will have a typical homemade lunch (cold) with bread, tomatoes, oil, cheese, ham, olives, flat “coca” bread, vegetables, toasted almonds and almond cake. The drinks will be water, wine and orange juice.
After lunch the bus will take us back to the airport, always accompanied by our guide.
