Camí de Betlem
Description
The Camí de Betlem is a coastal and mountain walking trail near Artà in the north-east of Mallorca, leading up to the Ermita de Betlem.
The Trail & Its Highlights
The path climbs from the road through a striking coastal and mountain landscape up to the Ermita de Betlem. Along the way, wild orchids and dwarf fan palms line the route, and if you keep your eyes open you'll spot a small dolmen as well as the occasional mountain goat. The views over turquoise water and the Bay of Alcúdia are among the most consistently praised qualities of this walk. The trail is easy to follow and the gradients are manageable — though a sure footing is still needed, as some sections are rocky and stony underfoot. Sturdy footwear is recommended, and it's worth bringing plenty of water. If you fancy a longer outing, the route can be extended eastwards towards Punta des Caló.
