Top Things to do in Balearic Islands
What to do and see in Balearic Islands, Balearic Islands: The Best Hiking Trails
The brightest stars of Los Baleares are Majorca, Ibiza and peaceful Minorca. Situated between France and Africa, the archipelago's islands each have distinct characters. Majorca is the most developed and offers a mass of hotels, fast food joints and crowded beaches. Ibiza is loved by a hard partying set, including many gay visitors. It is also increasingly popular with upscale travelers, drawn by the chameleon island's reputation as "the new Provence." Pick an island and stake a claim on its sand.

Moderate hike from the Ermita up to the Talaia. Some loose rocks and narrow trail in stretches near the peak so some extra care is recommended. At this time of year shaded areas can remain damp all day and good gripping footwear is advisable. We continued on to Coll Baix. Keep an eye out for the paint-dot signing to show the way. Worth every step.

We stayed at Hotel Pollentia which made it a 20 minute walk along the promenade and down one street to the start. It was then 30 minutes to the view point and a further 30 minutes down to the beach. We spent about an hour on the beach swimming, drying off and watching the goats. The water here is beautiful. It's cool and crystal clear and most welcome after a hot but beautifully scenic hike. We left our hotel at around 9:30am and arrived at just before 11am and this was hot and so leave earlier if you can. Also, when we arrived there were just a few people who left shortly after and then just as we were heading off, it seemed to get a bit busier; I can only imagine what it's like in a normal summer season and so an even better reason to set off early. It was a clear stoney path all the way to the viewing spot marked by a big rock but the second half is very steep and not easy. If you have any knee issues you may struggle with the pressure on your knees going down. It's a very stoney beach and so take beach shoes!! Also, take lots of water as there is nowhere to get this on the walk. It goes without saying, wear trainers!! You may also want to pack your snorkel kit or goggles. Beware that this is a nudist beach! We saw just two people when we were there. We went one way down and found a much easier way back! Just before you get to the viewing point, there is a left hand pathway, take that and head straight down as this seems to be one of the better ones. Don't make our mistake and head on down immediately after the viewing point.....it's worth backtracking just a few steps! I will attach a picture which hopefully you'll find useful. I say 'path' (!!)....it's not exactly clear as you pretty much get down the best way you can find but this was definitely an easier direction than our way down!
