Overview

This is a nice circular route passing several points of interest such as Cap Andritxol, a historic defence tower (Torre de Cap Andritxol), old ruins, beach Cala d’en Monjo and great panoramic views of the southwest of Mallorca ranging from El Toro in the South to Camp de Mar further North.

The route is not too long and quite easy going for the most part. The terrain will be typical Mallorcan rocky tracks and pine forests. The most taxing part is a steep ascent to the top of Cap Andritxol. This is by no means a difficult assent however mobility restricted people could struggle.

Another point worth mentioning is that this route starts and finishes in Cala Fornells. Cala Fornells is a very small but pretty hidden village in the South West with character. After the walk, there are three potential hotels which are ideal to stop off and grab a quick beer to catch sundown.

As the route doesn’t veer too far from civilisation, you shouldn’t encounter any mobile dead spots and you will never bee too far from the nearest towns of Camp de Mar and Cala Fornells. This also means that getting lost shouldn’t be too much of a problem being alway close to a resort so maps or GPS aren’t needed.

The tracks and trails of Cala Fornells are popular so passing other people on the way is common but we wouldn’t class it as “busy” by any means. The starting track is also the only way to Cala d’en Monjo which is quite popular in the summer.
