The day begins at the Port of Palma, where a small, air‑conditioned minibus eases away from the harbor and climbs toward the serrated ridge of the Serra de Tramuntana. Sea spray and pine resin mix on the breeze as the road curls above sheer cliffs; the Mediterranean sits like a restless companion daring you to look further.
