Overview
The Barranc de Biniaraix is one of the Tramuntana's most celebrated gorge walks, following an ancient cobblestone mule path that climbs through a narrow limestone canyon. The route, part of the GR221 long-distance trail, ascends from the tiny hamlet of Biniaraix through the gorge's towering walls, past waterfalls after rain, and through terraced olive groves maintained for centuries. It is considered one of the finest examples of dry-stone engineering in the Mediterranean.
Trail Highlights
Guide's Advice
"Visit after rainfall to see the waterfalls at their best. The cobblestone path is slippery when wet — wear proper hiking boots. Return the same way or continue to the Cúber reservoir."
