Tips from the Community
The view of Puig Major and Gorg Blau combines the island's highest peak with a deep blue reservoir in the barren high mountain landscape of the Serra de Tramuntana. Between steep rock faces and wide slopes, an impressive interplay of nature and technology is created. A panorama that particularly highlights Mallorca's alpine side.

At the confluence of the old watercourse with the Embassament de Cúber, the system of historical water channels meets the open high mountain landscape of the Serra de Tramuntana. The calm water and the surrounding slopes create a clear transition between technology and nature. An exciting point along the GR 221, which makes the use of the mountain watercourses clearly visible.
