Cala Mesquida is a dead-end village. It's worth heading to this spot by bike, as it offers fantastic views of the bay and coastline. You can then return along the same route.

At the end of the bay, a long staircase leads upwards. The view from here is really great. But behind it, wild nature begins and the marked paths are not for everyone.

Beautiful, elevated point on the paved promenade. Here too (and this is not always the case on Mallorca) it is secured with a fence to the cliffs.

Beautiful trail, but on the cliffs only for sure-footed hikers who don't suffer from vertigo. The trail is poorly marked, sometimes slanting and offers no safety equipment. There are some places where the trail drops steeply. The trail through the pine forest is quite easy and very beautiful.
