Would be a great pity if it closed, it's such a beautiful walk and surprisingly easy considering the size. Anyone who visited PP and never done it really missed out. Don't know about the dog, always seemed to me to be a big pussycat! so sad to see him chained, but no doubt that was to keep him away from the nearby sheep. Like others, our kids used to love walking there, used to scream at the top of our voices and enjoy the echoes! Wonder who taught them that! Apart from the pleasure walkers there's loads of bird watchers love to go there, they would be massively dissapointed if they were denied entry, now that's potential lost tourist business so there is pressure on the council to sort something out.

will do as and when. The dog is never a problem,and neither is the old toothless lady who is generally the only one living there, and seems pleased if anyone comes past and says hello

Yes Smiddy, I wonder how many of the Bird watchers of which there are a few hundered over the spring period stay in PP and would they bother coming if they couldn't get access to the valley?. Lets just hope someone sorts this out.

It is still open, and locals seem fairly confident it will remain open

You start at the roundabout on the bypass close to the Ora Playa and you follow the path,as you near the cala there is a choice but only really one way in and out so whichever you take you'll be ok.

There are also arrows in some places, and follow the cairns that people build as well, as lolipop says theres only one way in and out.

We've only done the walk once and it was eventful to say the least!


Chelseadons who had gone behind some bushes (use your imaginations!) got chased out by a three legged goat who despite his disability was very quick on his remaining ones! Then a bit further on a fairly large snake slithered across the path right in front of us And finally, and if I may say quite dramatically, I tripped and fell flat on my face.....the grazed knees that lasted the rest of the holiday did not show off my tan to it's best advantage


(And before you say anything Bella...NO I was NOT!!!!)

On my exersice route around PP I pass the start of the walk. Last week there were still lots of cars parked there with a lot of walkers on their way up or down.
So for now it appears to be still open.

Its very easy I would say, almost flat with a little bit of a descent to the 'beach' at the far end.

Sensible shoes though, no heels

The goats are friendly

That was taken in February 2008, look at that Winter sky.

What a great photo!

I'm staying in Siller. In like a little triangle of a few roads that's kind of just off the main roundabout that links Avenguda de Joan XX111 and what I think is the bypass road (Calle Ramon).

I think this is near to the start, am I right?
