Description

Merendero Escorca is a public picnic and barbecue area in the mountains near Fornalutx, nestled within the natural surroundings of the Serra de Tramuntana.

Barbecues and Outdoor Breaks in the Tramuntana

The site features outdoor tables, benches and barbecue spots — a well-equipped rest stop where you can spend a day in nature with family or friends. If you're planning a barbecue, bear in mind that the grills on site don't come with their own grates, so you'll need to bring your own grill rack. Toilet facilities are available on site.

Nature, Peace and Views

The setting amid the mountain landscape of the Tramuntana is the real draw of this spot. The views across the mountains are sweeping, and the place has a calm, unhurried feel — perfect for switching off. From here you can also head out on walks and hikes through the surrounding countryside.

Great for Families

A small play area for children is part of the site, keeping younger ones entertained while the grown-ups relax. The open space around the area also gives kids plenty of room to run about.

Location and Getting There
