Serra de Tramuntana

About

The Serra de Tramuntana is a dramatic limestone mountain range that arcs along the northwest coast of Mallorca, Spain, stretching over 100 km. Recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2011, it offers an astonishing blend of rugged peaks, verdant valleys, and terraced farmland that tells a story of human ingenuity on a harsh landscape. The range is home to the island’s tallest peak, Puig Major, and features historic sites such as the ancient Roman villa of Mola, the archaeological remains of the Iberian settlement of Valldemossa, and the deep limestone cave Cova de sa Campana. For hikers, cyclists, and nature lovers, the Tramuntana offers an extensive network of trails ranging from gentle walks to challenging climbs, passing through lush oak forests, fragrant rosemary margins, and unique endemic plant species. The area’s cultural landscape was shaped by centuries of dry‑stone construction and a sophisticated network of water mills that visibly illustrate the symbiosis of people and nature in this mountainous region.
