Beautiful hike to Castell d' Alaró in Mallorca
The mountains are calling! And what could be better than exploring the breathtaking beauty of Mallorca? One of the most impressive hikes you can undertake on this island leads to the Castell d' Alaró.
The beginning of the adventure
The journey begins in the picturesque village of Orient. From here follow the signs to Castell d' Alaró. The path winds through beautiful olive groves, giving a feeling of peace and tranquility. But soon the path becomes narrower and the real challenge begins, because it goes uphill.
The Ascent
The path to the castle is paved and has stairs, which makes the climb easier. There is even a parking lot on the way, from which, according to the sign, it is only 30 minutes to the castell. During the climb you will be rewarded with magnificent views that are worth every step. Sturdy shoes are essential.
The fortress and its surroundings
After the strenuous climb you reach the gate to the tower of the old fortress. From here you have a perfect all-round view of the surrounding mountain landscape. There is even more to discover further up: ruins that bear witness to a bygone era, and finally the mountain chapel and accommodation that invites you to linger.
A place to relax
The mountain chapel is not only impressive from the outside. Inside you can light a candle and enjoy a moment of peace. Right next to the chapel there is a café that invites you to relax. Here you can fortify yourself with a piece of almond cake and a cortado while enjoying the breathtaking view.
Enjoy nature
The area around Castell d' Alaró is a paradise for nature lovers. There are shady spots everywhere where you can sit down and enjoy the beauty of nature. The silence is only broken by the occasional bleating of sheep grazing nearby.
The descent and the end of the journey
After enjoying the beauty of the Castell d' Alaró to the fullest, things go downhill again. The descent leads past a well-known country inn that is known for its sheep farming. But be careful: If you find the little lambs too cute, you might not want to go in!
The hike to Castell d' Alaró is an unforgettable experience that should not be missed when visiting Mallorca. It is a journey that enriches both the body and the soul and creates unforgettable memories.
