You\u2019ve probably heard of Menorca\u2019s famous Cam\u00ed de Cavalls, right? But did you know there\u2019s an alternative version in Mallorca<\/strong>? That\u2019s right\u2014there\u2019s a secret route that takes you through some of the island\u2019s most untouched, natural spots. It\u2019s a brilliant way to explore Mallorca at its wildest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mallorca doesn\u2019t have an official \u201cCam\u00ed de Cavalls\u201d like Menorca, but there are lesser-known trails that offer a similar experience: direct contact with nature, unspoilt landscapes, and total peace<\/strong>. At ROIG, we suggest exploring an alternative stretch that combines sea, history, and adventure. Tempted?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choose your secret trail: recommended route from Cala Tuent to Sa Calobra<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the most spectacular and least-travelled routes on Mallorca\u2019s north coast runs from Cala Tuent<\/strong> to Sa Calobra<\/strong>. This path leads along cliffs and old stone houses, offering flawless views of the Mediterranean. It\u2019s a perfect mix of sea and mountains, and a chance to discover one of the island\u2019s most breathtaking spots: the Torrent de Pareis<\/strong>, a natural gorge that flows into the sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The trail is roughly 5 km<\/strong> one way and takes around 2 hours<\/strong> to complete, though timing may vary depending on photo stops and breaks. The path follows the mountainside, with sections offering jaw-dropping views of the sea and the Tramuntana range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the highlights of the route is when the mouth of the Torrent de Pareis<\/strong> comes into view, just before reaching Sa Calobra. And if you\u2019re lucky, you might do the whole walk without seeing another soul\u2014an absolutely amazing experience!<\/p>\n\n\n\n


It\u2019s best to wear comfortable shoes, bring plenty of water and some food, and factor in the return journey if you\u2019re walking back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
