Puig de Planícia
Description
Puig de Planícia is a walking area near Banyalbufar in south-west Mallorca, offering challenging trails through dense woodland and breathtaking views from the summit.
Narrow paths, unspoilt forest
The trails leading to the summit are narrow and were originally laid down by charcoal burners. They wind mainly through dense, shady woodland of holm oaks. Signposting is sparse — the occasional paint marking is your only guide on the way up. A hiking app with a reliable map is strongly recommended to keep you on track.

The walking area sits near Banyalbufar (07191), a village in the south-west of the island within the Serra de Tramuntana — a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2011. Nearby Cala Banyalbufar makes a perfect spot to cool off after the hike.
