One of the most recommended places is the Puig de Galatzó Reserve, located on the eastern slope of the imposing Puig de Galatzó peak, in the southern part of the mountain range. It is an area that is full of streams, waterfalls and natural water springs that are born in impressive rock formations.
Dreamy landscapes
Just six kilometres from the Puig de Galatzó Reserve is Puigpunyent, a quiet agricultural town with an interesting 17th century church. And a little further on, you will arrive at Galilea, a refuge for artists that in itself looks like a viewpoint over the Mediterranean. The northern slopes of the Tramuntana mountain range offer dreamy landscapes. The road crosses tunnels and cliffs, despite this it is very safe if the right precautions are taken. You should take caution in the section that goes to Port d’es Canonge and Port de Valldemossa.
Urban settlements in the mountains
The main urban settlements in the Tramuntana mountain range are Sóller, Valldemossa, Pollença, Deià, Estellençs and Andratx, each with their own characteristics. Sóller is a very attractive town located in the shade of Puigmajor’s peak and in a beautiful valley lined with orange trees, holm oaks and olive trees. It is always very lively and has nice bustling cafés among modernist buildings.
