REQUIREMENTS, EQUIPMENT & ORGANISATION
Almost all of Mallorca’s hiking trails are privately owned. They are often very rocky and gravelly and overgrown with grass that has sharp leaf blades.
It is thus important that you are healthy, have plenty of stamina and are surefooted and that you were suitable all-weather clothing. Sturdy hiking boots with a good sole, a backpack, drink bottle, sun hat, and waterproof clothing are required. Telescopic hiking poles are advantageous.
In some cases you will have to carry the food for the picknick that we will eat along the way in your own backpack. The only drink offered during picknicks is free Majorcan red table wine. You must bring your own drinks, fruit, and cookies to eat during the hike.
Our program focuses on enjoying and experiencing the landscape; having a fun hike; learning useful facts about local flora and fauna; gaining fascinating insights into the island and its inhabitants; and, last but not least, sampling the culinary highlights of Mallorca’s authentic rustic cuisine.
