Mountain high with Mallorca Farmhouses

Mallorca’s famous Sierra de Tramuntana mountain range was awarded World Heritage status last week by UNESCO. 

Credited for its magnificent landscape, history and culture, it is a hotspot for walkers and cyclists with pretty villages, colourful flora, thriving fauna, birds of prey and breathtaking sea views.  To visit the area, accommodation specialists Mallorca Farmhouses offer a selection of self-catering properties from just £356 per week.

Stretching 90km from Andratx in the south-west of the island to Pollenca in the north, the Sierra de Tramuntana Mountains are an awe-inspiring sight.  With high peaks, rocky cliffs and valleys with olive and citrus groves, over 20,000 people signed the local Government’s petition for World Heritage status, including Michael Douglas.
