More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the gangway into the bright plaza by Palma’s cruise terminal and the island’s air—salt, citrus, sun-warmed stone—greets you. In under an hour the coach climbs into the Serra de Tramuntana, the ridgeline that pushes the island skyward and was named a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2011. The road bends like a storybook, revealing sea combing the cliffs and terraces of olive and citrus that scent the valley.
