Spanish tapas allow diners to taste many small meals at once. Think of your hiking journey in Mallorca the same way. Picturesque coastal towns. Soaring mountain ranges. Golden Mediterranean beaches. Rustic old-world fincas. Welcoming locals. Incredible food. Once you have a taste of Mallorca, you'll want to come back again and again.

Every Backroads trip is designed to appeal to a wide variety of interests and fitness levels. Several routes and a range of levels are offered each day so you can choose how much or how little activity you want to do. Learn more about how we determine activity levels.

This mix of rocky terrain and exposure to sun on hotter days can make routes feel more challenging than the mileage may suggest.
