Sóller to Fornalutx Hike on Mallorca, Spain

I'm spending a week in Mallorca for a proper holiday! I travel pretty much non-stop but am always working full-time at my remote job. So this chance to log off from my work and just have a holiday for myself is a welcome one. While I'm here, I'm going to be spending as much time as possible outdoors, exploring the incredible mountainous landscape of the island and spotting pretty locations as I go.

Late May is an ideal time to visit Mallorca - especially if you want to be hiking the island and wandering between towns - as this time of year provides pleasant temperatures in the mid-to-high 20s.

The idyllic little towns on the western side of the island are well worth a visit. There is a wonderful walking path between Sóller and Fornalutx through quaint streets, alongside breathtaking mountainous scenery, passing fresh-smelling citrus tree farms all the way.

Sóller to Fornalutx Hike Details

When: year-round

Where: between the towns of Sóller and Fornalutx; I recommend doing a loop starting from Sóller

Difficulty: easy

Length: from Sóller, I did a loop hike to Fornalutx and back of about 10km, which took me just over two and a half hours of moving time. Depending on from where you begin the hike (I started keeping track from where I got off the bus), you might walk between 7-10km.

Directions: from Sóller, head out of town on Carrer de sa Lluna. The best way I can recommend to follow this hike is simply to follow my route as I tracked it on Strava. Please note that I also added a bit of extra walking to and from the bus station into Sóller, so your route might differ slightly from mine.

Bathrooms: yes, in Sóller and Fornalutx

Public Transit: yes, from Palma, take bus 204 Port de Sóller and get off in Sóller, the town from where you can start this walk
