Description
Meeting point Felantitx at the cemetery. Off we go to the former Sant Salvador monastery and pilgrimage church. Located at 509 meters, in the southeast of the island. Fantastic views over almost the entire island.
We start together at the parking lot of the cemetery in the municipality of Felanitx. Felenitx is located in the south-east of the island, right next to the Serres de Llevant mountains.
On the Puig de Sant Salvador stands the Santuari de Sant Salvador, a former mountain monastery and pilgrimage site that was founded in 1348.
On the southern part of the summit plateau there is a monument to Christ the Redeemer (Cristo Rei) from 1934, 37 m high and with a 7 m high sculpture of Christ.
On the pre-summit to the north, the Puig des Milá, is the Creu des Picot from 1957 with a height of 14 meters.
On the way up, we are already spoiled with fantastic views. Once at the top, there is a small hotel, a restaurant and a pub where you can enjoy a drink. On the way back, there are always nice opportunities to stop for a moment and enjoy the view.
Depending on the weather and temperature, you can start early in the morning or in the afternoon. Sturdy hiking boots and sure-footedness are important. The climbs are doable with a normal level of fitness and a slow pace.
Felanitx is also easily accessible by bus. If you arrive by public bus, the meeting point can also be moved to the bus stop.
