We discovered a fantastic walk on nymcam.co.uk around the stunning Boquer Valley in Majorca and felt the urge to share it with you.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a 4 mile ‘off the beaten track’ walk with some breathtaking views.<\/p>\n

See the full walk here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The walk starts just outside the Oro Playa holiday apartments, Puerto Pollensa, along an avenue of ancient pines interspersed with tamarisk trees – the wide pathway was once part of the entrance road to the Boquer finca (farm).<\/strong><\/p>\n

Passing through the gates you\u2019ll soon arrive at the castellated front of the farmhouse buildings.<\/p>\n

From the farmhouse courtyard you will enjoy spectacular views south-east back towards the resort of Puerto Pollensa and in the far distance across the Bay of Pollensa, to the popular coastal holiday resort area of Alcudia\u00a0 and south-west along a fertile valley towards the ancient town of Pollensa.<\/p>\n

Walking in Majorca's Boquer Valley<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

<\/p>\n

The route takes you through another metal gate beside the farmhouse and along a rough stony track
\nup towards a narrow ‘pass’ between limestone rocks. As you continue up the gentle climb, you\u2019ll pass some abandoned farm machinery.<\/p>\n

After passing through the ‘narrows’, the track widens and continues gently uphill. The path is cairned in places and easy to follow – although the going is rough and stony, so we recommend a pair of good walking boots<\/p>\n

The Boquer Valley is very popular with ‘twitchers’ (birdwatchers) as it is a famous stopover for
\nmigratory species during early spring and late autumn \u2013 you\u2019ll see hoopoes and a possibly large birds of prey soaring nearing the cliff-tops.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Incredible views throughout the walk<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Continuing along the track you\u2019ll pass through a ‘gate’ in an old stone wall which spans the full width of the valley.<\/p>\n

Across on your left is the sharp-tipped limestone ridge of Serra del Cavall Bernatt which shelters
\nthe valley from strong northerly winds – the far side of the ridge drops dramatically a sheer 300 metres into the sea. The peak on the right is that of Penyal Roig (265 m).<\/p>\n

The terrain here contrasts greatly with pistacia (mastic) bushes dwarf fan palms and pampas grass lining the path, which meanders between huge boulders towards the coll.<\/p>\n

Just over the crest of the coll we get our first view of the bay of Cala Boquer (cala meaning cove or inlet).<\/p>\n

Before returning ‘home’ via the same track, be sure to take a last look at the beautiful bay of Cala Boquer… breathtaking!<\/p>\n

It not a long-distance walk, but it is tiring in the heat – however, the superb views will make the effort well worthwhile and I highly recommend the walk if you’re ever in the area on holiday – just make sure you take plenty of water!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
