Accommodation in Pollenca

After yesterday's fairly demanding hiking adventure you choose today among 2 short stages along the coast. The easier one takes you into the Boquer valley, a small nature reserve for birds with a private beach. As a small bonus the hike ends with a beach walk along beautiful Port Pollença. 
The longer hike starts in Cala ses Barques. In the beginning you walk along a wide gravel road, west of Puig d'Aguila, with a magical view over the Formentor peninsula, the bays Sant Vicenç and Port Pollença. Then you take the path back to Cala ses Barques and Cala Sant Vicenç to finally cross over to Port Pollença via Siller Pass (elevation gain upward: 76m). 

Both hikes provide the opportunity to take a break at one of the beautiful beaches. Both also end in Port Pollença, where you take the bus back to Pollença. After the hike you might want to explore Pollença town or just enjoy the hotel's inviting atmosphere with its wonderful garden, or take a dip in the pool.
