DAY 2. sant elm to la trapa monastery CIRCULAR WALK
Your active week starts with a circular coastal walk in the idyllic old fishing village of Sant Elm. A beautiful hike that takes you along the coast towards the 400-year-old “Torre de Cala ses Bassets” watchtower offers permanent spectacular views of The Dragon Island – just offshore on the southwest part of Mallorca. It continues through a well-trodden path up a forested slope, which later becomes steep and rocky on the upper part until you reach the old Trappist Monastery, “La Trapa“. The route finishes in the same Sant Elm. Enjoy a refreshment on one of the beautiful sunny terraces, and after, you’ll be transferred to the pretty valley town of Esporles in the western Tramuntana mountains. In Esporles, one of our recommendations is to visit La Granja, the perfect example of a farmhouse converted into a museum.
