THE TIME OF THE almond blossom



# Almond trees have been part of the Mallorcan landscape since their introduction by the Arabs a thousand years ago. Walking along the old mule tracks of Mallorca’s Serra de Tramuntana draws you deep into their millennia of history, folklore and myth.

This four-day walking itinerary through the craggy mountains and deep green valleys of northwest Mallorca sets out from the village of Es Capdella, west of Palma, and follows the GR221 footpath to Soller. En route are fragrant almond orchards, little-visited villages and coastal views, and the town of Banyalbufar, Valdemossa and Diae perched high above the sea.
