Es Cubells and Cap Llentrisca Loop

This is a difficult hike, covering over 21 km with significant elevation changes. It requires very good fitness and sure-footedness. While the path to the Torre des Savinar itself can be relatively easy, the combined route through Cap Llentrisca and the Natural Park involves narrow, steep, and rocky sections. It's not recommended for individuals with reduced mobility or very young children.

The trail offers spectacular views and historical sites. You'll encounter the iconic Torre des Savinar and Es Vedrà Viewpoint, providing panoramic vistas of Es Vedrà. Further along, enjoy the View of Es Vedrà from Cap Llentrisca. The route also passes near Sa Pedrera Quarry and Beach (also known as "Atlantis") with its unique rock formations, and the Church of Santa Maria dels Cubells.

Due to its length (over 21 km), significant elevation gain, and difficult rating, the full route is not suitable for beginners or young children. The terrain includes steep, uneven, and rocky sections. However, a shorter, out-and-back walk directly to the Torre des Savinar from a nearby parking area is generally considered easier and more accessible for families with older children, taking about 30-40 minutes each way.

Yes, dogs are generally allowed on trails in this area. However, given the difficult terrain with steep, narrow, and rocky sections, ensure your dog is fit for a long and challenging hike. Always keep your dog on a leash, especially in the P.N. de Cala de Hort, which is a natural park and important for seabirds. Bring plenty of water for both yourself and your dog, as water sources are limited.

The best time to hike this trail is during the spring (April-May) and autumn (September-October). During these months, the weather is milder, and the landscape is lush. Summer can be very hot, making the long and difficult hike more challenging. Winter can be pleasant, but some facilities might have reduced hours.

Parking can be found near the starting points for the various sections of this extensive route. For the Torre des Savinar, there's often a small parking area off the road leading to Cala d'Hort. For other sections around Cap Llentrisca and the Natural Park, look for designated parking spots near Cala d'Hort or other access points. Arriving early, especially during peak season, is advisable to secure a spot.

No, there are generally no entrance fees or permits required to hike within the P.N. de Cala de Hort, Cabo Llentrisca and La Atalaya Natural Park. However, as it is a protected natural area, visitors are expected to respect the environment, stay on marked paths, and not disturb wildlife. Camping and open fires are strictly prohibited.

Expect a varied and challenging terrain. The path includes dirt tracks, rocky sections, and narrow trails with loose stones. There are several steep ascents and descents, particularly around Cap Llentrisca. Proper hiking boots with good ankle support and grip are essential for navigating these conditions safely.

This is a relatively wild and unspoiled area, so facilities are very limited directly on the trail. There are no cafes, restaurants, or public restrooms along most of the route. It's crucial to carry all necessary supplies, including plenty of water and snacks. You might find amenities in nearby villages like Cala d'Hort or Sant Josep de sa Talaia before or after your hike.

For this challenging route, you should bring:

• Sturdy hiking boots with good ankle support
• Plenty of water (at least 2-3 liters per person)
• Snacks or a packed lunch
• Sun protection (hat, sunscreen, sunglasses)
• A first-aid kit
• A fully charged phone and a power bank
• A map or GPS device (like the komoot app) as some sections might not be clearly marked
• Layers of clothing, as weather can change

Public transport options to the immediate trailheads are limited. While there are bus services to areas like Cala d'Hort during peak season, they might not drop you directly at the most convenient starting point for the full, extensive route. It's often easier to access the trail by car or taxi, especially for the more remote sections around Cap Llentrisca.
