Right from the start you will visit lovely places, the mountain village Valldemossa is a particularly lovely place, which has attracted lots of celebrities. The rugged west coast is fascinating and has many panoramic tours to offer with coastal views and unique scenery. Sóller, the capital of the oranges and a jewel of the island is well-known for its culinary delights. The Orient valley also has ample culinary delights for you to discover after you have hiked through the sparse Serra de Tramuntana mountain landscape. At the end, you can look forward to arriving in the capital city, Palma, which is a modern yet also traditional metropolis on the island.
