The climb to the top is very worthwhile, it is quite tough but the views from the top are excellent.

Lovely walk up the hill to Puig Maria. Considering the location of the cafe, excellent value for coffee, beer etc. Vires, second to none.

Yes, it's quite a trek up to the monastery but it is worth the effort. The walk itself is very pretty with stunning views all the way up and, once at the top, the monastery and views make it all worthwhile. From Pollensa itself, the route is easy to find as it is just off the main road.

I love this old monastery and the easy and refreshing walk up the mountain, in fact you can even drive most of it if walking is not on the cards. There is a stunning view at the top and historical grounds. The monastery in fact offers accomodation in simple rooms, would be wonderful to go up with a group and... More

Fantastic views for miles around and well worth the walk. A little restaurant at the top too! One and a half hours of moderate walking.

Not an easy climb, but as others have said not half as fierce as it first looks. Most of the path is shaded but it would be prudent to choose a cooler day. It's best to park in the large free car park the other side of the Pollenca road as it gets very crammed at the bottom of the... More

This is a steep walk but even when hot it was mostly in the shade, this is not your normal tourist trap, it was lovely and quiet at the top, great views over the north end of the island and a very good little restaurant/bar at the top. You can book a room very cheaply and enjoy a prebooked paella,... More
