Puig Tomir

by Rob_Johnstone

Puig Tomir:
Standing at 1103 m this is by far not the highest mountain in Mallorca, but don't be mistaken this is a mountain.
My climb started at Lluc monastery, I headed towards Binifaldo and the bottling plant. from there the climb became steep and in places quiet dangerous as you traversed a few scree fields to what turns out to be a false summit.
On reaching the summit the views across the vast majority of the island are breathtaking, from here you see the true beauty of Mallorca. I love the view down towards the Lluc plain and also the panorama that takes in Pollensa Town, Puerto Pollensa, Cala Sant Vicenc and Cap de Formentor.
The day I completed this climb was one of the hottest the locals could remember for October (2004) And whilst Caroline was enjoying sitting out in the sun in Puerto Pollensa, whilst on the summit it was more like a cool spring day.
During my descent I pass a group of people whose dress more suited climbing a bar stool in some bar on Magaluf beach!. This is a mountain not a sand dune. Dress as you would to climb any mountain anywhere else in the world. Treat the mountains in Mallorca with respect, they will punish you if you don't.

Puerto Pollensa

"Puerto Pollenca"

For some reason there doesn't seem to be a page for Puerto Pollenca . Until then i'll write details here.

"Had enough of the sun?"

Then take a plesent stroll along the pine walk. Why not stop at one of the little bars and enjoy an ice cold drink whilst watching the world go by.
The views across the bay from here are breathtaking.
At night the locals mix with the tourist as everybody enjoys their evening promanade.
