Overview
The ancient forests surrounding the Lluc Monastery offer some of the most peaceful and accessible walking on the island. Several waymarked trails loop through towering holm oaks, past the Stations of the Cross pilgrimage path, and through a botanical garden showcasing endemic Balearic plants. The monastery itself, Mallorca's spiritual heart since the 13th century, is worth exploring before or after your walk. The Els Porxets pilgrim quarters and the Black Madonna chapel are highlights.

Guide's Advice
"The monastery restaurant serves excellent traditional Mallorcan food at very reasonable prices. Try to catch the Els Blauets boys' choir singing at 11:15am on weekdays during term time."
