Easter in Mallorca’s Sunshine

Spend Easter 2027 with us in Mallorca’s magnificent sunshine

Superb, guided walking, good company and an excellent hotel – all make this a “must do” holiday. Mallorca’s walking – through an undiscovered landscape, a rural idyll, a land of orange and lemon groves. Mallorca offers a mountain landscape that sweeps down to the sea, offering us lovely coastal walking as well as the high tops. Its pretty, unspoilt villages compliment the walking we do, and its deep valleys are magnificent to walk up and down.

This seven night holiday in the sun – and the mountains and coast that makes Mallorca so special to hike – led by our superb local guides – shows off the best of this magnificent coast.

We stay in Port Soller by the sea-  the four star Hotel Marina -with its trams and lively sea front, many cafes and restaurants,  and harbour- an ideal base to explore the coast and mountains of the this sun kissed land.

Walking is moderate, some ascending and descending –  but not too severe  and you should be walking fit. We walk for five days.

You buy your own flights.

Whatever flight you purchase- and from which UK regional airport- we will transfer you from the airport to the hotel – and return one week later as part of the holiday price you pay

We pride ourselves on how we create a social feel- so join us on this sociable active holiday.

We organise everything for you – from the minute your flight lands to when you arrive back at the airport.

 In Port Soller we use the four star Hotel Marina Soller, right on the bay front. All the facilities you need, comfortable rooms, in the main hotel , mountain views, good food. Swimming pool, leisure facilities.  

Breakfast is taken in the hotel’s dining room or on the outside terrace, by the bay.  Plenty of choice, buffet style.  Dinner is buffet style with superb choices that change each day.  The starters are filling, and main courses come with vegetables grown on the island.  We generally eat inside during the time we are on the island, but if it’s a warm evening then outside eating is highly recommended. We stay half board, and dinner is always a feature of our holidays – time to socialize, with good food and wine to swap stories about the day’s walking.

 The hotel is, located just across from the beach and is fully air conditioned. You can walk across the promenade to the beach and swim.

No sole occupancy supplement – the price shown on the website is the price you pay

In the evening, relax outside by the bay, with a lovely atmosphere and inexpensive drinks. If it gets chilly – wrap your self in the blankets kindly provided by the hotel. Just chat, listen to a little music and watch the world go by.

Easter in Mallorca – customs and traditions

The Holy Week, or Semana Santa as the Spanish call it, is the most important and deeply significant religious celebration in Spain. It is known for its colourful processions, distinct costumes, and religious floats.

From gathering the family to make rubiols, empanadas  and crespells (typical pastries and cookies), to processing in Palma and Sóller with hoods and robes.
Easter in Mallorca is an exciting time to visit and the island comes alive with festivities throughout the Holy Week.

Your Itinerary

We walk five days with one rest day in the middle.

A typical walking day

We leave at 9.15am, travel by minibus or local taxi to walk start – generally each walk lasts for five and half hours – maybe with a coffee or orange juice stop in the country, lunch is normally packed from the local supermarket – lovely baguettes. Walking is moderate with some steeper sections, but we won’t rush these. The Mallorcan country side is superb – high mountains all around but lovely river valleys, a coast line that enchants  and splendid villages to pass through. It is always a pleasure to look at the lovely wild flowers and village floral displays.

Walking is varied and some of the routes are shown here.

• Cala Tuent –  classic varied walk to idyllic Cala Tuent cove, From Ses Barques viewing point through lemon groves to the cliff edeg – then walk to Cala Tuent for the journey back by boat- sometimes we reverse the route and take the boat at the beginning of the day.
• Deia – Soller – on the GR221 national route. Visit Deia Bay to start with, then climb to the Gr221 route to Can Bleda, a couple of choices then- either down to Port Soller lighthouse or a shorter trek back to Repic beach and your hotel.
• Cuber – L’Ofre – Es Barranc – Soller  Along side the reservoir, then climbing the majestic L’Ofre peak, before descending the Barranc on the ancient Pilgrims Way to Biniraix then into Soller Town centre.

We transport you to the walk start each day and also to the various historical sites we visit.  The travel through these magnificent mountains is a big feature of our holiday.

Grades and Difficulty

On each Mallorca holiday,  the grade of walking is moderate .

On the moderate walks – 8/9miles – we ascend and descend at least once per day – up to 300 metres but generally over  an hour and a half. Pace is critical – we don’t rush, there’s too much to see, but we do stride out where it is possible. Underfoot conditions in Mallorca can be stony – it is limestone country after all – and we take care on these sections.

Good walking boots or shoes are obligatory. You may find that walking poles will aid your enjoyment of this land.

The trip requires a reasonable amount of fitness, ideally with previous hill walking experience.

The Climate
Is typically Mediterranean, mild winters and hot summers – too hot for walking.  We organize our holidays in March/April- lovely spring flowers and a green paradise, and October, when it is still lovely and warm, ideal for walking.

Exclusions

Although our leaders are well trained  and experienced in dealing  with different capabilities of our walking clients, if they have any concerns about  any clients ability or suitability to undertake safely any walking activity we plan or they feel that participation of an individual may affect the groups safety and cohesion, then they have full permission to exclude that client from an activity.

They will try at all times to provide an alternative suggested activity, though this may involve the client in additional local cost.

We rarely have to enforce this above recommendation, but it is a sensible and necessary protection for the individual client, the group and

• Mallorca’s Serra de Tramuntana mountains are a great walking experience. On this holiday island renowned for it’s sun, sand and sangria, there is an area of peace and tranquillity, where the walking is superb. 90 km long and 15 km wide, the Tramuntana range gives a vast range of walking possibilities. The coast line is also very rugged, and this affords us tremendous sea views as well as mountain scenery. The limestone allows deep gorges and waterfalls, yet there are pine forests as well.
• Mallorca’s walking is through an undiscovered landscape, a rural idyll, a land of orange and lemon groves, where twisted and knarled olive trees are on every corner. Mallorca offers a mountain landscape that sweeps down to the sea, offering us lovely coastal walking as well as the high tops. Its pretty, unspoilt villages compliment the walking we do, and its deep valleys are magnificent to walk up and down.
