We intend to do this walk, is it easy to follow? We are quite used to family walks so heat and distance shouldnt be a problem (always good to have plenty of drinking water). Looking forward to it (will make a nice change from Macclesfield Forest!)

Yes it is easy to follow and an ideal way to spend a few hours away from the crowds on the coast, take plenty of fluids, a picnic and your swimming stuff, an unspoilt haven which is even better after the winter clean up by the local environment groups. The walk is signposted form the bypass, head up past the school and the start is at the roundabout. This is what is waiting at the end of the walk....

Done it scores of times, it's a great walk and not very difficult, when i was over in March there was guys running up and down the mountains, superb fitness.

As a former fell runner I have been doing this trek for over 20 years gradually getting slower now down to a gentle jog, firstly, don't worry about the dogs at the farm ,walk on they are tethered.
Secondly the solid rock mountains on either side of the walk seem to hold the heat like nowhere else on the island so early morning or late afternoon.
Thirdly the bay seems to attract a serious influx of jellyfish both my son & I were stung heavily last year, before entering water scrutinise water from rocks the jellys are visible,little brown buggers.
The pluses are virtually no people, beautiful walk,fantastic feathered birds, & a well earned swim in paradise at the end.

Also friendly goats ( possibly too friendly if you have food and you are the only people there)

Look at the February blue sky, visit in the winter as you might like it.

Great pics Mark, mine was from January with the same beautiful blue sky as was as blue sea which was warm enough for a quick swim as well!

Hi
We did this last year and it was fantastic.
Do you think it would be too challenging and hot for an almost 4 yr old in July?

Yes! It's probably too hot for anybody in July.

Wow..It looks fabulous! I am keen to do this walk...Is it possible to buy a local map for the walk in question or is it sign posted at all?

Thank you very much Sparky. Is there a more detailed map of the actual walk rather than the town itself though or is the route well marked?

You don't really need a map for it Rupert. If you walk down Av. Bochoris as shown on Sparkie's map you cross the main road at a roundabout. On the other side there is a sign IIRC, you then follow a track up hill to a farm house where the track has gates .Go through the gates and then you are in the valley. I think there are some red dots showing the main track to the cala but you can't really get lost anyway. Even if you did you are unlikely to be on your own in their anyway.
We go to Puerto Pollenca in a fortnight. It's our first time staying their but have been to Mallorca many times and always do the Boquer walk.
