Select participants and date
The day opens in Cala Millor with the hiss of air conditioning and a line of suitcases on the coach — a collection of travelers trading the flat east coast for the raw, folded spine of the Serra de Tramuntana. By the time the bus climbs out of the lowlands, the sea keeps pace on one side like an old companion daring you to look away; on the other, terraces of olive and pine tighten against a road cut in 1932 that coils down to Sa Calobra.

Adventure Tips
Bring motion-sickness medicine
The 40–50 minute boat crossing and winding coach road to Sa Calobra can be rough; take something beforehand if you’re prone to seasickness.
Wear grippy shoes
Pebble beaches and short walks into the Torrent de Pareis are uneven and slippery — trail or hiking shoes are best.
Carry cash
Small cafes and some vendors at Sa Calobra may prefer cash for snacks and toilets — bring some euros.
Protect against sun and wind
Exposure is strong on boat decks and coastal viewpoints — sunscreen, sunglasses, and a windproof layer help keep the day comfortable.

Wildlife

- Audouin’s gull (seasonal near rocky coasts)
History
The Soller train dates to 1912 and was built to connect citrus-producing Soller to Palma; the road to Sa Calobra was completed in 1932 to link isolated coves to the interior.
Conservation
The Serra de Tramuntana is a UNESCO World Heritage landscape; visitors are asked to stick to paths, avoid littering, and respect local marine life observed from the boat.
