Wilderness Landscape & Natural Heritage
The Serra de Tramuntana is a mountain range running southwest-northeast along the northern coast of the island of Mallorca in the Balearic Islands of Spain. Stretching over 90 kilometers, it is known for its stunning limestone peaks, deep valleys, and terraced lands which have been cultivated for centuries. The range's highest peak, Puig Major, reaches 1,445 meters, offering breathtaking views of the island and the Mediterranean Sea. The area is not only celebrated for its natural beauty but also for its cultural heritage, featuring ancient dry stone structures, olive groves, and monasteries that date back to the Middle Ages. It is a popular destination for outdoor activities such as hiking and cycling, with trails that cater to all levels of adventurers. The region's unique combination of natural and man-made landscapes played a central role in its designation as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2011, drawing visitors who seek to experience both its ecological and historical richness.
