- BarbPhiladelphia, PA75 contributionsThis is a must see, must do. Everything else in Palma pales in comparison. We arrived on a cruise ship.
A city is a city but this UNESCO countryside is spectacular! But how to see it?
I did so much research on renting vehicles like three wheel cars and the like: most not easily accessible from port.: or taking the train to Sóller ( missed reviews) but decided to rent a car from the airport.
Au contraire! Took a taxi to the airport to rent…(I had gotten my international driving license and bought a map from Amazon, and studied the route…)
BUT: no one said I needed my passport!
Tears! Taxied back to the cruise port but then… I counted the cost of two more $25 taxi rides back and forth and instead… decided to hire a driver: they hang around with signs as you exit the dock.
This guy was SO nice trying to help me get back in the right door back to the ship to retrieve my passport. Nit I turned around and approached him.
And… we hired him. $250 for 3 hours/ we were out 4 1/2 hours and became fast if brief friends. Anass is from Niger, told us his immigrant story, and showed us the most out of the way and beautiful places!
I’ll include his contact in pictures… we went everywhere I planned to go: Soller, beautiful Port of Soller, winding our way to Valldemossa, rated number one place to see ( although full of busses! The Port was better!)
This was SO easy , safe and fun. I couldn’t have navigated all the roads and enjoyed it if I had rented a car.Written 16 May 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

From our Lagomonte hotel, it was around an hour there, hour back.
Take some tinnies to the top and enjoy the view :)
You might also see some of the goats too!Written 22 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Big clifs on one side. Not sutable if you are very afraid of hights.
The view is outstanding. Close too 360 degrees view from the canon.Written 11 October 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The reserve has six major peaks that are more than 400 m high. The easiest way to access the summit of one of them is a bicycle ride to Puig the sa Tudossa (441 m), which is the fourth highest and located near the center of the park. The distance from Arta via the road Ma-3333 and the Cami des Presos is about 11 km one way mounting 350 m. The road is not steep: The main rise is from the information center (240 m) to the Campament des Soldats (365 m, 2 km with an average of 6 %), the final rise is from the Pas des Porcs (320 m) to the summit (441 m, 1,5 km with an average of 8%), both on a one-lane paved road without motor traffic. Between the two rises, you descend slightly on a formerly paved road that is now eroded to a gravel road of low to medium quality (370 to 320 m, 2 km with an average of 2.5%), which means that coming on a mountain bike is better than on a road bike because these 2 km might put some strain on your tires, even though all the rest of the trip is paved.
The Cami des Presos has a very sad history. From 1936 to 1939, during the Spanish Civil War, the fascist Franco regime detained 900 republican soldiers at the Campament des Soldats and forced them to build this road, which was originally intended to be continued for three more km to the Talaia Moreia (434 m) at the very northern end of the mountain range, just one km south of Cap de Ferrutx, for military purposes.
Today, the road allows us to more easily admire the austere beauty of the the mountain landscape of the northern Serra de Llevant. It can also be used as a starting point for climbing other peaks (only recommended for experienced mountain hikers):
1. Talaia Freda, 546 m, about 60 min from the Campament des Soldats, the last path on a Tirany (poorly defined, steep footpath, may be difficult to find, can only be hiked very slowly and may include easy scrambling)
2. Puig des Porassar, 491 m, about 30 min from the Campament des Soldats on a hiking trail, the easiest of these peaks
3. Puig de sa Creu, 486 m, about 1 h 15 min from the information center, the last part on a Tirany.
I'm not giving estimates for Puig des Corb (439 m) because it's completely pathless and for Talaia Moreia (434 m) because it may require a huge detour redescending almost to sea level or alternatively a long stretch of pathless hiking.Written 20 August 2015This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
